Cousins and Uncle Wilber

Elise loved having some of her cousins in town for the week. Monday Elise and I hung out with Noami (my sister in law) and kids (cousins) while she painted. Then Tuesday was spent the with Grandma and Grandpa, cousin and Uncle Wilber.

Getting a group picture was well.... at least they are cute little monkeys.
There are a lot of great pictures to share, but here are my favorite of each of the kids.

Power Lab

Today was our first day of VBS! Elise missed the cut off age by one month, so she is in the nursery doing a modified version of the program. She got a t-shirt, to do a craft, have snack, watch a video, and jump in a bounce house. So far I think she likes it. I was a crew leader. To be honest I almost didn't sign up due to Elise missing the cut off age, but decided that if I volunteered I could A: meet some people at our new church and B: Elise would get to participate for free! I was a little disappointed to learn I would be a crew leader which meant more responsibility and less time for getting to know people. Thankfully God sees the bigger picture and allowed me to see that VBS isn't about me meeting and making some new friends, its about Him and His children and what He has planned for THEM this week. So God taught me today that " Jesus gives me the power to be thankful" (KA POW!) "Always be thankful." Colossians 3:15. I am looking forward to our week long Power Lab VBS and to watching children learn, understand and grow in what is means to "Discover Jesus' Miraculous Power" and what it means to me as well.














Elise would not put on her t shirt at VBS not sure why. So after a good afternoon nap I told her if she put her t-shirt on and let me take a nice picture of her, I would let her take a picture of me wearing my t-shirt.

Where we've been & how we got here

Some how I feel I need to start off this blog at a beginning of some kind. I'll keep it short, first came love, then came marriage, and then a baby in a baby carriage. I'd tell you more of our story, but I'll let some pictures do the talking for me (less spelling errors that way!)

Ahh.. young love!

I can't believe it will be eight years this July!

And our precious little girl...


who is 3 1/2, but can't wait to be 4!
