CONGRATULATIONS, Steve & Nic!

We're so happy you're engaged!! And so soon until the wedding too, Lord-willing! We wish you the Lord's blessings as you plan your very upcoming wedding and with the job search and immigration process...





And... here's the debut picture of our little one! Ultrasounds are so amazing. It's so reassuring to see God's work in all of the little well-formed body parts, and the heart contracting and expanding, and the sweet little face...

Hunter & Aimee's wedding!

It was a beautiful wedding, with a few funny mishaps during the ceremony... Some humor is always to be expected with Pastor Rutgers officiating :) Aimee was such a beautiful bride.

A visit from Jenn & kids

I just noticed Emily took pics of their visit! There are more of her pictures on the camera than mine, which I guess tells me I should be taking more.

Emily took these too... she must have been bored in the car.

YAAAYY!!! This is our last week of school, and catechism is finished, and piano will be at the end of the month. Actually Marie is already finished her books. Holly was the biggest distraction for both Emily and Marie, but they enjoyed her so much that I didn't have the heart to stop them from interacting with her... Spending time with siblings should be one of the benefits of homeschooling.

A common sight the last couple months, her books go where ever she goes. Our little bookworm really seems to prefer the bathroom though, since it's the quietest with no disturbances. ...Which makes me especially thankful for our three bathrooms instead of the previous one.

Congratulations Curt & Jen!

We are so thrilled with you in the birth of your new son Jesse. May God continue to preserve and protect you both... Wish we could be there to meet him, and to see Phillip's reaction (delight hopefully) at seeing his new little bro :)
