The smiles returning to their faces… Nothin’ but the good stuff this morning: 1. On Friday, Joe completed his Firefighter II class and PASSED his huge final exam! We are SO proud of him! 2. Today, Joe officially becomes a part of the family at Crossroads Church, as the Central Music Director! Around the time … Continue reading “Here Comes The Sun”
At the end of July, when we visited the Life.Church campus in Omaha, NE, they were promoting Craig Groeschel’s upcoming sermon series based on his new book. It’s called “Hope in the Dark.” Whoa. The title grabbed me right away… A few months ago, our family experienced a crisis. Everyone is healthy and Joe and … Continue reading “Blackbird”

We’ve been busy bees over here, with Joe plugging along in his Firefighter II class, as well as getting ready for school, etc. But today, I wanted to let you know we finally arrived late to the party! 😉 The Raab Four is now on Instagram and Twitter!

Whoa. We did NOT realize how tired we were! Obviously, our bodies had to come down from all the stress…but going back and forth – between time zones – really does some funny things to you! We still eat breakfast at 10:00 sometimes…but, summer, right? 😉 There are still piles in the dining room, there … Continue reading “Golden Slumbers”
On Wednesday morning, we woke up to the sound of light rain on the roof. Previously, we thought we could hang around the campground for a little bit that morning, since its pictures online showed a pool and some other fun things.

We stumbled through our morning routine on Tuesday. After getting everything done, we kept looking for signs of life outside, by the house. But it was all quiet. Any other morning, this would have been great…except we had another long drive ahead of us (and a 5:30 deadline) so we were anxious to get on … Continue reading “Here, There, and Everywhere” (Part Two)
Monday and Tuesday were an all out sprint. We had a lot of ground to cover to make it to Rigby’s drop-off location on time. Even though this was not what we had planned, originally, we tried to make the best of it and still make some fun stops with the boys on our way … Continue reading “Here, There, and Everywhere”
On Sunday morning, we were sad to pack up and leave our campsite, but we had more than two hours to drive to get to Omaha. (somewhere in middle America…) Yes, we said that *every* time the name came up. Joe had introduced the boys to Counting Crows before we left for the trip – … Continue reading “That Means a Lot”
We woke up to a much more peaceful morning on Saturday. It was quiet…and we had a little more time to rest. However, we did want to make one more stop before leaving town. – – – Some of you will recognize this face. Maybe you know him from the Towson area, or from Young … Continue reading “Tomorrow Never Knows”
We woke up on Friday morning at Trinidad Lake State Park. Unfortunately, we had to move out early, in order to get our travel time in through more of Colorado, to stay on track for our journey home. But, guys, I *had* to have a shower. There are plenty of tips and tricks for surviving … Continue reading “All You Need Is Love”
