A mix of photography, recipes, personal thoughts, faith, and lots of family stuff, but not necessarily in that order.

Family week 2025

This is our 10th season at our little cabin on the lake.
We have been blessed each year to have all of our kids, their spouses and grandkids here at the same time over a week! These 10 years have been the “golden years” for us, at least that’s what I call it. Our grandkids are still young enough that there are not a lot of things that get in the way of coming to the cabin for this precious week. 
There are 11 of us and sometimes it feels like we are all on top of each other, but we make things work cuz
 we all love being together.
Today the remainder of the family left, including the grandkids and their parents. (Chris & Gavin Went back A few days early, well because… Jobs!)

Sigh, always a bittersweet day for us
Love these littles 

Siblings
As they begin to leave
Final words from Dad 

There they go

  1. How wonderful that you have this family week every summer. I'm so happy for you.

    The last time our core family was together was a year ago for the Helbling reunion. Caleb flies in tomorrow and Miranda, John and Everett also arrive on Thursday. So excited to see them!
