Shane and Crystal

It has taken nearly 7 months, but Harper finally has enough hair that he can “style” it now…if that’s what you want to call it. He knows bald is beautiful, but he’s starting to dig this whole “hair” thing. After all, he loves yanking on our hair! Mommy gave him his first lil’ […]

Every day brings some sort of new trick, accomplishment, face, noise, etc to be proud of or laugh at. Harper continues to be the center of attention wherever we go (to the couple sitting behind us at Appalachia Grill, I apologize for foiling your plans for a nice, quiet romantic dinner). He’s now […]

Harper spent his 6 month “birthday” in Panama City Beach, FL where he saw the beach, ocean, sand, etc for the very first time! We spent an entire week there with another couple (Christy and Corey Godfrey) and their 9 month old daughter, Carli. It was great having another couple to spend time […]

So I finally got to celebrate my first “Father’s Day” this year…it’s definitely among my favorite holidays now! Harper gave me a tow-behind trailer/car thing so that I can pull him behind my bike. It has a little seat with seatbelts that he can sit in. It even has a bug screen […]

Mommy recently decided to start mixing Harper’s baby food together and then feeding the mixture to him. You remember the drinks called “suicides” as a kid…right? You know….mix Coke, Dr. Pepper, Sprite, etc all together and think it was the best drink in the world? Well, this is probably the opposite of […]

Well, they say that the best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach…I suppose Harper is well on his way to living up to that saying! Crystal has “trained” him to open his mouth whenever she says “bite” (sometimes he just leaves it hanging open until we shovel some food in) and […]

If any of you know our little baby boy, then you know how serious he is…all of the time. The lil guy is a stone-face that can take anyone down in a game of stare-out! He could go days without blinking. Well, Harper turned 4 months old on May 24 and seems […]

It has been a long time since the last post on here and a lot has happened since then and it would take days to type everything out, but this latest blessing in our lives absolutely deserved to be posted about! On January 24, 2008 at 7:11pm EST Crystal gave birth to our first […]

You may have been wondering where we’ve been since our last post from Maui! Well…good news…we’re still alive! It seems like we landed and got back to the real world and have been running nonstop ever since. To sum up the last few months:

I started work at Shaw as the Manager of […]

Decisions decisions…that was how Saturday got started. I wanted to go to breakfast at The Plantation House that I had heard so much about and Crystal wanted to lay out at the pool. Somehow I ended up winning and we went to breakfast! After we got there, I think she was glad […]

Wednesday & Thursday seemed like tough days to beat, but we gave it our best shot today. I’m currently sitting on the Lanai (back deck of our room) overlooking palm trees and tiki, torches while listening to a water fountain about 30 feet in front of me…it’s about 72 degrees out with a […]

Today we took an adventure down the Road to Hana, which is a road back into “old Maui” which is about 52 miles long with 617 curves with around 50 bridges…seriously. Many stretches of the road are one-lane and you have to be careful and yield to oncoming traffic. The road itself is […]

I wish there were words to describe Maui, but Webster just hasn’t came up with anything close yet. This place is just INCREDIBLE. The smells are amazing. That may sound weird, but there is a scent of ginger in the air along with other flowers and it just smells soooooo sweet. […]

Shane’s Wedding Experience
WOW!!!! What a ride! I can’t thank everyone enough that came to the wedding and all of those that participated in it. It was an experience that I’ll never forget. People asked me all week long if I was nervous, but I never felt the “butterflies” until the doors […]

Tuesday - October 10, 2006:
Some of you may remember the “log” of events that I kept as I worked on Crystal’s proposal. It detailed everything I went through to create her special day. Well, I’ve decided to do it again leading up to her wedding day because I have a few surprises in […]
