Jason decided it was high time we went for a hike, since we’ve been saying we want to, the summer’s almost over, and our behinds still hadn’t made it up any mountains.
I use the past tense hadn’t instead of haven’t, because that is no longer the case. We hiked up to Annette Lake this last Saturday. The [...]

“Attacked” by an alligator
I’ve been taking an annual 4th of July trip to Minneapolis for about four or five years now, but it’s gotten quite exciting ever since the Haggards have been introduced into the family.
When I say exciting I mean this: last year Jason almost burned Linda’s house down. And this year we were attacked by an [...]

A Haggard canoeing catastrophe
When I got back from Coeur d’Alene last Wednesday I came home to not only one Haggard man but three. Justin and Jared, Jason’s brothers were in town for a visit, from Atlanta and Great Falls, Montana, respectively.
Most of the time we just hung out, ate and talked. But on Saturday, the brothers’ [...]

As promised, careful records of our boating weekend in Coeur d’Alene.
The following video covers our days on Lake Coeur d’Alene and Lake Pend Orielle (or Pond O’Reilly as Jason calls it). Both days the weather started [...]

Minnesota memories
Jason and I got back on Monday from a 4th of July trip to Minnesota. Our time was spent either making memories, looking back on old ones, or getting excited about future ones.
Jason’s parents, Bill & Becky, met us in Minneapolis at my dad’s place on Thursday. The next morning Jason and I [...]

Stehekin weekend
This weekend our Community Group went up to Stehekin on Lake Chelan to enjoy Memorial Day. Colleen’s family has a beautiful cabin they graciously let us use for a few days.
The first day we spent traveling, first by Georgia (humongous suburban) and then by boat (3.5 hours).
The rest of our time at Stehekin was [...]

Tulips?
Apparently not.
Things got a bit better from there. We found a field of daffodils a ways down the road and then gave up and headed to the outlet mall.
See pictures here and here.

Cadet envy?
We’re now back in Seattle after a great trip to Pennsylvania and New York. CPT and Mrs. Jordan Francis are now officially hitched. The wedding was beautiful and we had so much fun helping out with the festivities and seeing Jason’s friends from the military.
See photos from our trip.
And here’s a brief Best Man/1st [...]

West Point wedding
Jordan & Elysia are finally almost to their wedding day (Saturday)! We’ve been awaiting this for months now.
Before heading to West Point for the big event, Jason and I flew into Harrisburg, PA on Tuesday night and spent a couple days with his Uncle John and Aunt Bonnie.
While there Jason wanted to make sure [...]

Open skies, sunshine and snow
Scott, Courtney, Jason and I went snowshoeing up at Annette Lake this past Sunday. We had sunny weather and just enough warmth to break out a sweat for the uphill leg of the trip.
It felt so good to get out and get some fresh air. God has somehow miraculously made a way for [...]
