It’s that time of year…

Children puzzle through math problems…

Leaves change colors and fall from the trees…

The house smells of sugar and spice and everything nice…

and every once in a while that’s because of a sour cream apple pie !!!

What do you love about fall?

Tuesday was girls’ night out with daddy…

This is what  happens when four brothers have a blast…now that’s what I call creative!

(When I finally reached the top with the measuring stick, it was 108″ tall – 9 feet… and yes, it WAS more impressive than it looks!)

We were visiting with our good friends the Staddons at their West Virginia home over the Easter holiday, when the subject of family blogs came up. I mentioned that we would like to have one, but Sarah and I had been unsuccessful at trying to set one up. Robert Staddon, in his usual enthusiastic way said, “You want to have a blog? Let’s set one up! We can do it today!”  So here it is; The Stelzl Family Blog! We hope you enjoy getting to know us better through our blog.

I want to thank Robert  for his skill and patience in working with me to get the colors, fading, arrangement ……..JUST RIGHT. My children will tell you that I am a real detail person, and getting it just right takes me lots of time We also want to thank James Staddon for allowing us to use his picture of our house taken during their visit to our home, just before this past Christmas. He skillfully captured the late afternoon sun glowing on one of the windows, and the color and clarity are amazing! We chose a picture of our home because we love to show hospitality and we have a discipleship ministry that takes place mostly through our home at present.

May God bless you through the messages found here!
