Where Does the Time Go?

May 5, 2022 By Karen Witemeyer

Nearly 22 years ago, I welcomed an amazing human being into our family. Wyatt is the second of my three children, and I've had the honor of watching him grow from a sweet-natured boy with irresistible dimples into a godly young man poised to make an impact on the world.

Gary’s first preference, he stated, was to be a cover model, shirt ripped opened and chest bared. Hairy chest or not, was negotiable. He said we could Photoshop that as desired.

Favorites from Under the Tree

January 20, 2022 By Karen Witemeyer

I know, I know. Christmas is so last year. 2022 has arrived. We should be looking forward, not back. Perhaps we should, but I have a few new items around my house that are still making me smile every time I see them, so the Christmas joy is living on in the New Year.
