Another gift of God!

Congratulations Greg & Jenn! We hope you gain health and strength soon, Jenn, and also lots of rest :) May God bless you as you raise little Genevieve.

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter, celebrating the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ and His triumph over death and sin!

We had one beautiful summer-like day last week... hot enough for everyone to get in their bathing suits and make a big muddy mess of the lawn with the sprinkler! Holly was so excited and busy she wouldn't stand still for a picture, and then I ran out of batteries for the camera so I have no pictures of the other kids :(
Sandy & Luke were over for an afternoon... Holly was very interested in Luke but not so much the other way around. What a little sweetie he is and talking so well for 2 years old! Sandy really enjoyed playing with the other 5 girls around here.
Here's some pictures of the house progress for those of you who asked... The plumbing, roofing and garage floor were done this week and the heating is almost finished. Steve spend quite a bit of time installing the central vac and still has a few more evenings of work left on it. (I asked for central-vac rough-in and he is putting in a complete system instead.) It's been pretty crazy around here with all the decisions and work to be done with the house, and then the flu bug too. It's exciting to see the progress though. All the sudden it seems much more real.


The kids came up with this teeter-totter themselves :)
