When we were searching for our forever home four years ago, we all had opinions about what our neighborhood should be like.M didn’t want to live in a house too close to anyone else’s.I didn’t care if we could pass cups of sugar from our kitchen window to our neighbor’s, as long as those neighbors...Continue Reading
You know what I wish I had right now sitting next to me?My phone.It’s in the other room, and it has some terrific picture of the boys at the Monster Truck Rally on it. I would love to show you, and I will tomorrow, but right now I’m exhausted from the weekend of Bible Study...Continue Reading
So, Catie got married this weekend, and Elisabeth was the Maid of Honor. Just kidding. Kind of.

See this picture? SILLY! Ridiculous. Birds flying in a circle over my head. That’s crazy, right? And not just the birds, there’s other really silly stuff going on here at the Hergenrader House. Like what? I’ll tell you. I’m the kind of person who jumps on the back of the shopping cart and rides it around...Continue Reading
