My, my, WHERE does time go?  It seems like yesterday she was just born, and here she is already SIX weeks old!

Cute Package

Benjamin enjoyed playing in this box filled with packing peanuts.  It made a mess, but provided for lots of fun!

Blessed by Friends

"Uncle" Harold and "Aunt" Debora were my neighbors in Brazil.  (On the mission field, fellow missionaries are all "aunts and uncles." ) When we were in Brazil this last time, my boys spent HOURS in his workshop learning and making all sorts of neat wood creations.  This past week we were blessed to have them stop by for a visit.  We had a wonderful time with them.  We got to see video footage from 55 years ago when they first went to Brazil and visited the savage indians......escaping with their lives only by divine providence. That first trip to the indians, led to many coming to know Christ.  On that same video we saw some of those first indians who tried to kill U. Harold, give their testimonies as to how they came to know Christ.  It was a neat time of learning and reminiscing!  Thanks for visiting and spending time with us!

Precious Baby

Michaella was having a hard time settling down, so I took her out in the swing to rock her.  It's fun to have a baby to rock and snuggle again!





Michaella Joins the Wall

For those of you who have seen our wall of baby pictures, here is a picture of it with Michaella's first picture.  We had pictures taken of each of the boys when they were 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year.  Michaella's 2 week picture now joins the picture wall.

Friends Forever

Keila, this picture is on here for you.......she's wearing the official "girlfriend" shirt you gave her.  She's now part of the girlfriend club......girl power!

Getting Ready for Bed

Between Michaella filling her diaper and spitting up, she is constantly getting changed.  I have to protect the bed WELL before changing her.  Last night I finally decided to just let her stay like this until she was done.  She didn't seem to mind it much......in fact she was smiling and trying to coo......it was so cute!
I had to get this picture of the back of her head to show that she really does have a good amount of hair.....it's just all in the back of her head. I love the saying on her bedding......it captures our sentiments well......"sweet baby girl".

One Month!

Thank-you, Grandma, for my comfy bonnet, booties, sweater, and blanket.  They are warm, and Mommy says they make me look girly and cute (I agree with her).

Indianapolis Motor Speedway

Keith decided to take the boys to the Motor Speedway for time trials.  They had a great time!


Soccer Season Ends

Benjamin cheered as his brothers received their trophies.
Another great year with a great coach.
Scott also had a great coach.
Watching Scott's game.
Benjamin mows the soccer fields with his "mower."
