    It’s amazing how invested you can become in watching other peoples lives on Yotube - I just adore the relationship you have with your husband he is so kind and supportive and really unconditionally loves you. It is so comforting to watch. I am a Christian with no Christian friends so I really appreciate you sharing your life and love of God - thank you 🙏🏻

    Jeanine, thank you for sharing your family with us. It restores our faith in family values and that there is still goodness in the world. Xander reminds me of one of my sons who has that very sweet personality as well. He’s now 23 and still a very sweet young man. PS he was an easy teenager (I should know I’ve had 6). Keep up the good work as a lovely wife and mother!

    Thank you SO much for sharing this video with us! Prince Gallitzin is one of my MOST favorite places in PA! A few years back we rented a cabin right near the park, and had a delightful vacation. Aside from fishing and kayaking/canoeing each day, my cherished memory was a close encounter with a bald eagle! I think my daughter, who is a registered nurse, thought she might have to perform CPR as I just about stopped breathing - LOL! I found myself smiling from ear to ear while watching the video, as your family sparks such joy.
    (Also, I must admit, I am earnestly searching for any typos or grammatical errors I might make that your hubby will find - 😊).
    As a sister in Christ and also a Mennonite, although more contemporary, your videos are such an inspiration to me. I love your honest, authentic UA-cam channel. Looking forward to your next video! Blessings!

    That last snip was hilarious! Xander truly is maturing before our very eyes - fascinating to see him adopting adult-type poses and expressions and he's not at school yet, is he? (Kids in UK generally start school late 4-yrs, depending on their birthday & of course so many of them are in nursery & pre-school almost from infant-hood.) You all certainly had a lovely time camping, Xander is a great Big Brother & Lexie seems very content.
    - I think it is great fun for kids, get them into nature (I'd hope!) doing all kinds of real life things they mightn't do in their regular life, share chores, cook on the open fire (rather than going for take-outs) & gets them thinking outside the box. Sometimes I suggest camping at home - (especially if one is rural) my young relatives love to camp out in the orchard on the farm at home, & the Old Folks can come out & have fun for an hour or two, too. (Nolan!!) So doesn't have to be expensive, but parents can make even that into something of an adventure - to that question: spending REAL TIME with your kids & yes, taking them with, sharing your passions, so important. Lovely video.

    Another lovely video! You have such a talent for choosing music that’s perfect for the situation. When Nolan said “ Hey bud, how’s it goin’ “ to Xander while he was riding his bike, it gave me a chuckle because it sounded so Canadian! I believe you mentioned long ago that Nolan spent part of his life in Canada and that’s a phrase that I’ve heard many times here. Best wishes to you all.

    You and Nolan have a wonderful relationship. You two are great parents. As parents you will find multiple "transition" ages where your kids seem to change/jump ahead without you realizing it. Just remember, it is ok to tell your children that they need to be comfortable with "alone time" and not always depend on you, and Nolan, for entertainment. Do not worry, you are doing a great job.

    Another lovely video! 🥰 A key to quell your worry about the teenage years is keeping the lines of communication open; like any other relationship. As a parent, you guide your children to be a solid person of character, have integrity, and awareness of God's grace. Jeanine, you show yourself as a human being - no one is perfect, only God is perfect and with his grace we try to be the best we can be as a person. It shows you and your husband are teaching your children the way forward. This is only my opinion, from one imperfect human following in God's grace.

    Oh I am so glad you guys still like going camping there, I Love to see it there I miss it so very much. It was our favorite place to go every weekend and we would go there for the whole week of the 4th of July, back then( in the 70' s) that was the only vacation time my parents had, vacation time off they would close their work down for that week and that was when we would go . Watching you guys there just brought back so many memories , when Xander was fishing and the hook caught his shirt, I remember when my older brother went to cast out his line it caught the back of his ear and he was screaming and bleeding. I laughed at him because he always acted like he was the best at everything and that showed he wasn't. LOL ! Have you been over to headache hill? It is a old water tower that you can go up on and get a beautiful panoramic view, I Love it up,there. There is a ice cream stand that's down the road from headache hill , it used to be called the pirates cove ,they had great ice cream I am not sure if it is still there or not. Maybe next time you go maybe ask about it and there use to be a small miniature golf place that had good pizza and there was a great ice cream place across the street from the golf course, it use to be called the black bear but I think they may have changed the name that is if it is still there. Oh the memories, I got teary eyed when I watched this because all of the memories came rushing back to me. We took our son camping there and he loved fishing as well, we met a lot of
    awesome people camping and we are all still good friends. Thanks for sharing my happy place in your videos. Lexi sure Loves her big brother , but who can you blame her , Xander is awesome. Love and hugs from Ephrata. 😘🤗🙏❤

    Really enjoy your channel. You mentioned that you have ulcerative colitis. Can you share more of your life with having it. My son is 24 and was diagnosed at 21. It got bad that he now sees a specialist in Denver. He is in remission taking Humira in the last year. Please keep him in your prayers. His 7th colonoscopy is coming up in December.

    Hubby! You are right! There are many people that look like they have it together and you find out sometimes that they are not.

    Xander is such a sweet older brother. We git a kick out of his "nah" when you offered to take Lexi. The rather hilarious "squirrel " moment was priceless, too! 😄
    I'm glad that you had a wonderful time camping with the family. It's nice to take time away to do that. It's also nice to come home and appreciate the home a little more.
    Don't borrow trouble being concerned about the future and all that it might entail. Just take it moment by moment, day by day, and the Lord will give you what you need when you need it. He always does. 😊

    Oh what fun this was. Your camping trips are so enjoyable especially now that you have Lexie. Favorite part was how Xander n Lexie just chatting away with each other. So great to have that on video. I also liked the Q&A you did with each other. There was some good questions. So blessed to have a beautiful family. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍

    My children are in their 20’s now and one is married with a 3.5 yo son an baby on the way. We all enjoy camping but to go together is hard to schedule now. In 5 weeks we are spending a weekend at a local state park. We’ve rented a cabin. Our plan is to make it an annual event.
    Camping as a family is such a great way to create memories that last forever.

    Thank you for hauling us along on your family 🏕 camping trip. I really liked Xander & his fish 🐟🎣. The little seat cushion that you put Lexie in is a marvelous invention; the way it holds baby upright & supported so she can take part in activities instead of having to be laying flat all the time. Wish I'd had one of those many years ago (my oldest turned 35 years old last month). Wow! Time really does fly by us. Enjoy your family. ❤❤

      @@theMennoniteMom Thanks for answering my question. There are a lot of new baby & momma things today that we could have used 30 years ago. Lol 😁 Your children are beautiful. I always wanted a little girl. Yet, The good Lord chose to bless me with two boys who are grown men now & are my heart. ❤
