Weekend Fun

By
    Here, as promised, is what Joel, Ransom and I have done lately.  It's short and sweet, but that counts, right?  Both Saturday and Sunday, we went to the Detroit Zoo.  Saturday was Ransom's first visit!  He snoozed through most of it, naturally.  We particularly enjoyed the new Penguinarium!  The penguins would come out of the water and interact with you (through the glass, of course) if you held something up in front of their faces.  Talk about cute!  We had a ton of fun.  I love bringing our little buddy along everywhere we go!  (By the way, our little guy just turned three months old on Sunday!)
    After Saturday's jaunt, we stopped at a game store and bought a board game called "Pandemic".  It's a fun, cooperative style game, players against the board.  We're hoping to play it with some friends soon!
     In the spirit of a tradition called "Family Night" we've been thinking about starting, and in essence have started, we will want plenty of games handy.  Joel, Ransom and I have been enjoying such time with friends from church, whose first child is only a few months older than Ransom.  It's so nice living close together!
       Enjoy the pics!
 
Here's to Fun Weekends,
Joel & Heather

Baby Crib, Hairstyles, and Other Shenanigans!

By
      Time has indeed been flying!  Those of you on Faceboo k may have seen a recent update about Ransom turning 6 months old.  He did.  I blinked, and he's 20 lbs., has two teeth (Working on his third!), and almost, almost crawls!  I meant to do a blog update several weeks ago about his crib, but never got around to it.     We (Mostly Joel and Papa Cropsey) built his crib from a basic pattern we found on Pinterest.  Of course, it was altered some in the process, and we made it almost entirely out of two-by-four slats of birch wood.  That thing is solid as a rock!  We made it such that it is easily taken apart and re-assembled, for less transporting issues.  We chose to paint it in a Distressed style, gray being the base color and white for a white-washed-barn effect.  We are incredibly happy with how it turned out!  Also, we are in love with the thought of having an heirloom to pass down to our kids one day....

Back to School: The Where, What, When and How of the Situation

By
    nce upon a time, long ago, in a land far away, lived a young girl; a college student.  She loved school, but decided to work instead of study for a living when she was about 22 years old. So she worked, and worked, and worked; life was full, she was busy, and she never dreamed of going back to school again.  The end.     .....Okay, the land wasn't THAT far away; and it certainly wasn't THAT long ago!  And just kidding, she DID dream of going back to school, but knew that it wasn't God's timing based on the fact that while she was trying to find a good college, her handsome prince waltzed into her life and stole her away.  Funny how that worked out, huh?  And you thought I was launching into a romantic fairy-tale story.     In a nutshell, Joel's and my pastor announced last month that in August, Grace College would be using our church as one of several campuses in the Detroit area.  Our church happens to be located acro...

Changes, Part 2

By
     "If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time." ~Zig Ziglar "   What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith  but does not have works? Can that faith save him?     If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food,     and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?     So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." ~James 2:14-17   ....So, to continue my discourse from yesterday; here are a few more reasons I need to leave the world of social media and how I plan to spend my time.  Some of my solutions are more broad, I am still looking for ways to accomplish these goals. ***        5).I just finished a wonderful book called "The Art of Neighboring", and one thing that God has placed on my heart is my need to be deeply rooted where ...
