After a dentist appointment we decided to explore the Camden waterfront. Since school is still in progress there was not too much activity going on, but we had a good walk anyway.... read more

On Monday we started exploring again. Princeton was our destination. It has been on our list since we moved to New Jersey, but wanted to wait until it was warm enough to enjoying walking the city. We picked a beautiful day and was able to stroll around and visit the seminary. On our way home we drove through Trenton to see the capital of New Jersey. We ended the day with WaWA ice cream. Yum!!... read more

Been working on getting the house settled. The bedroom is done so thought I'd share some pictures. Shamong is known for its garage sales and road side finds. We found the bed and dresser on the side of the road and painted them black. Looks greats! That way we could afford to invest in a new king size mattress and rug. Loving it!!... read more

Rich was asked to speak at a conference in MD so yesterday we headed there. As we drove along the Chesepekee Bay we reminised about James Misner's book the Chesepekee and the movie Patriot Games. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the drive. We arrived at Sandy Cove, a christian camp, Rich spoke, had dinner and headed home. But we made it to two new states, DE and MD... read more

Once again we are enjoying living close enough to visit family. March 6 was Naomi's 4th birthday so we headed there after church on Sunday night. We got to Clark Summit, PA in the midst of a snow storm. Monday morning we woke up to 14 inches of new snow. We decided to venture out thinking the main roads would be OK. BUT we were mistaken. For the next 100 miles we inched along wondering if we would be the next casualty. Taking an exit and turning around was not an option as the exits were worse than the road. However, when we hit Syracuse and headed west it got better and by the time we came home on Tuesday, all was clear. We had a great time with Brad, Mel and kids. Naomi loved having ... read more

Batsco was an old iron mine town that has been turned into a state park. It was fun to walk around on a beautiful day. However, because my knee was bothering me so much we cut our time short and headed to Allen's Clam Bar for fresh shrimp and scallops. YUM!... read more

After our walk through on Monday we spent the rest of the week bringing box after box and trying to get organized. On Saturday about 25 people showed up at 25 Oak Ct. with trucks and trailers to load the big stuff and bring it to our new home at 2 MILLS BROOK LANE, SHAMONG, NJ 08088. It amazed us as we watched the worker bees do their thing. By evening we all settled and exhausted. Here are a few pictures.... read more

Yes! We finally settled on a home to buy and signed papers on Monday. So once again we are in the midst of moving. It's exhausting, but fun too as each car/truck load makes it more like home. Here are some picture of signing day. One of girls who had come out to visit us in Iowa said as she drove up "it looks like you." After looking at 100's of houses we finally we found a home that really "fits" us.... read more
