About Us

We are the Shown Family!

~As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.~

~Joshua 24:15~

This blog was started in May of 2007 to keep friends and family (both near and far) up to date on our family. It has become is a journal of sorts to keep track of the milestones and ordinary things our family does everyday. In the posts you find a mix of updates, recipes, tips on organizing and saving money, and LOTS of photos!

In his own words:
Interested in politics & culture. Avid reader. B.S. in Economics, but from a state school known for partying rather than academic rigor. My degree is collecting dust while I work in the construction industry (I work in an office, though, so don't ask me to build anything as it would probably be promptly condemned.)

~~THE SHOWN CHILDREN~~
Yes, they're all ours!!
and
Yes, our hands are full!

Yes, we'd love to have more!

Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth.
Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.
