Family
Our nuclear and extended families
Susan and I were fortunate to have been born into and raised in intact, loving, supportive families. We’ve all made our share of mistakes over the years, but our nuclear family has remained a rich blessing with our 4 grown children and their 8 healthy and delightful offspring (our grandchildren!) spread out around the country and thriving in the vocations and communities they’ve chosen.
We love camping, hiking, canoeing, skiing, and just hanging out together. I’ve also enjoyed, with Susan at my side, growing and sharing in faith while staying active in photography, amateur genealogy, writing, building websites, traveling, and meeting new people.
The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. They are planted in the house of the LORD; they flourish in the courts of our God. They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green, to declare that the LORD is upright; He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. – Psalm 92:12-15
