By caryschmidt | March 12, 2010

Sign found at a Burger King in Central California. Sort of like a frequent flier club for bus drivers—aren’t they lucky! I sat in this section—even though I’m not a bus driver. It was AWESOME!

My Day With Haylee

By caryschmidt | January 15, 2010

Note to Readers: Indulge me—if you’re not up for a syrupy “daddy story”—feel free to move on to something more interesting. I wouldn’t blame you.

By Cary Schmidt | August 8, 2009

God just gave our family a wonderful vacation together. We spent time with family and friends on the East Coast—particularly New York. In looking back over the trip, I thought I would share some lessons learned—mostly serious, and some not so serious. The list could be longer, but for the sake of brevity—here goes: 1. [...]

Learning to Laugh With and At Each Other

By Cary Schmidt | November 27, 2008

A Little Helpful Insight from Our Family Antics Yesterday, a little after noon, we finally loaded up in the car and began our traditional, annual family trek to Northern California for Thanksgiving. We’ve made this trip eighteen times now, so we’ve gone from “middle-of the-night-driving” with kids in diapers to “middle-of-the-day-driving” with kids watching Buzz [...]
