Sometimes last minute plans are the best! This past Saturday morning we were greeted with a fresh thick blanket of snow on the ground.

One final “HoooRaah” with the Merricks, McDowells, and Strobels. Words can’t adequately express what an amazing and refreshing weekend this was for us. Sometimes it is easier just to let the pictures speak for themselves….

A few weeks back we were blessed with another gorgeous fall day, so we took full advantage of it and decided to go for a walk. As we were coming up to the University we noticed that a rugby match was just beginning! It must have been a rather important game as there was a bag piper [...]
