I can’t believe it’s really here, but we are under two weeks from leaving for eight days—without our children!!! Seriously. It’s true! We leave a week from Friday, and will return the following Saturday night. Jen’s folks are keeping our kiddos for the week, and my folks gave us a week of their time share……

Not A Creature Was Stirring…
There is still a whole 24 hours of quiet to come. I really can’t believe it. The onslaught of this silence was so quick, so unexpected. It’s eerie… unwanted. Disturbing. And yet… glorious. 😉 The kids are at Grandma & Grandpa’s! They have been since Tuesday evening. The will be until tomorrow, probably around lunch…
Ring Day
Today was Ring Day. My mom calls it our Engagement anniversary. But we never really said anything like that… “We’re engaged!” We just sorta decided to get married. In 1997. Around July 16/17. Then we went to pick out some rings. And they had to do something to get them ready… so… we waited. Until…
Ice Cream Celebrations…
It’s probably starting to feel like all I do around here is talk about ICE CREAM! Well, for this month, I guess that’s true 🙂 It is National Ice Cream Month, and I have had ice cream EVERY DAY this month. 19 days in a row, and counting! For tonight, we made a gallon of…
Ten Years and Counting
Today I got to tell the story of how God arranged for me to marry Jen. Our friends Ryan & Charmagne (he’s not Ryan… he’s Chi.) were over for the day and somehow I mentioned that Jen & I never dated, and that piqued Charmagne’s interest, enough that she asked me to share our story….
Ian Jeffrey Campbell: God’s Gracious Gift
A Little Background…As we approached our first anniversary, life was a whirlwind of new things. Not only were we celebrating the first year of our marriage, we were also expecting our first baby! He was definitely planned, expected, and greatly anticipated. We were a bit surprised at how early he was coming into our family,…
Skyline Party (with an NFL QB???)
One of our favorite foods is Skyline Chili. It’s a regional delicacy for Southwestern Ohio. Specifically from Cincinnati. There are many brands of “Cincinnati-style chili” but we like to think Skyline is the best. (Of course, Chi might tell you it’s Empress Chili… but I’m sticking with Skyline.) Over the years I have taken a…
Various Things
Kirsten joined us for reading the Bible today (usually it’s just Dad & the boys…) and in today’s story, Jesus was going to have dinner with one of the Pharisee’s named Simon. Well, we had just been talking about how we’d like to go to Wendy’s for dinner, so I said, “Maybe they went to…
Seventeen Years
Tonight is the NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship game. 9pm on CBS. We’ll be gathered round the TV, probably with a snack or two, watching OSU go for the victory in Championship II vs the Univ of FL. (We’re rooting for the Buckeyes…) But more than basketball, tonight is a celebration of seventeen years of…
Cute Campbell Kid Stories
Jen has just posted another entry to our family website with four cute stories from our middle kids. They’re at a fun age, 2.5 and 5. Lots of interesting and fun things come from their hearts and minds out through their tiny mouths. Definitely worth the read. 🙂 www.WeTheCampbells.net
