The Crandall Family: October 2012
http://thecrandallconnection.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 17, 2012. Do you see that little lady in the wheelchair over there? He asked. "Would you mind showing her your children? She would just love that.". I gladly wheeled my cart alongside the table his wife was sitting at while the man called her name softly and pointed to my babies. Her face lit up. She talked with Elise for a few minutes and leaned forward to admire Emerson in his carrier. The gentleman thanked me and they waved goodbye as we left. Is there anyone to take care of them?

Friday, April 23, 2010. Each spring, MBA students in the Big 10 Conference meet in Columbus, Ohio at the Fisher College of Business for the annual. Big 10 Case Competition. DJ and three of his classmates from Purdue participated in the challenge: One team from each school analyzes a complex business case. Teams must identify the company’s challenge and present their recommendations to an often unforgiving panel of industry and academic experts. Who were ranked 7th in the nation at the time.

The Crandall Family: October 2010
http://thecrandallconnection.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 26, 2010. Elise and I flew to Nevada early this month to attend the funeral of my dear Grandma Young, who passed away after 89 wonderful years of life. It was truly a celebration of her life and love, and a reminder of. Heavenly Father's Plan of Happiness. During our stay, a rainbow arched perfectly above my parents' home, and I thought of Grandma, and this little poem by Sarah Josepha Hale:. O beautiful rainbow;- all woven of light! There's not in thy tissue one shadow of night;.

The Crandall Family: Tough Mudder
http://thecrandallconnection.blogspot.com/2012/10/tough-mudder.html
Tuesday, October 2, 2012. Have you heard of Tough Mudder? If not, here is a 30 second video to bring you up to speed. Earlier this year, D.J. decided he needed to participate in the Seattle Tough Mudder. How did I feel about the event? Mud, electric shocks, ice baths, mud, 12 foot walls, mud, mud, and more mud? I expressed my concern, but D.J. relented, and just completed said event this past weekend. DJ had the experience of a lifetime and came out unscathed. Okay, not really. Tuesday, October 02, 2012.

The Crandall Family: September 2012
http://thecrandallconnection.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 27, 2012. My children are plotting my demise. I know it. This week has not been our best (It's only Wednesday. On Sunday, Elise sat very quietly in church and we were pleasantly surprised by her good behavior. After heaping on lots of praise following the first hour of meetings, we discovered the poor girl was running a high fever- that explained the reverence. This also meant she had to skip Nursery and then miss preschool on Monday. Sad. So back to my scheming kids. Following the se...

The Crandall Family: Whidbey Island
http://thecrandallconnection.blogspot.com/2012/09/whidbey-island.html
Tuesday, September 18, 2012. Last month we decided to take a quick weekend vacation to Whidbey Island, which is over the Puget Sound north of Seattle. It's only a 90 minute drive from us. The island is close enough to the mainland that there is a bridge between the two at Deception Pass State Park. More on that later. Deception Pass. Pictures don't do it justice - it's so beautiful! We stayed in Oak Harbor at a little motel with a small but deep pool and free continental breakfast. The next day we went t...

The Crandall Family: The Couch
http://thecrandallconnection.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-couch.html
Wednesday, October 3, 2012. For Better After readers*. I didn't anticipate the great responses regarding my little project! You can find a tutorial here. For those who are interested in the step-by-step of my leather-dying adventure. A couple of months ago D.J. called from work saying someone was giving away their leather couch and did I want it. When we pulled up to the woman's house and saw this baby on the curb for the first time, I wanted to turn around and drive away. It looked awful! Everything tha...
