"Swing me higher, Daddy!"

Isn't this great??? Something we've always wanted to do is put up a tire swing for the kids in our backyard. We have such GREAT trees for it...so our 6'4 friend Matt Anderson climbed the tree (don't ask me HOW he got up there!) and "installed" it for us. The kids are eternally grateful! =) They all just LOVE taking their turn flying through the air...here's Natalee, though a bit whiney, enjoying her turn...

A "Grand" Arrival

We are so grateful for the newest piece of furniture the Lord has blessed our church with...a brand new Boston 6'4 grand piano! What a treat to be able to minister with such a beautiful instrument! God is so good.

'tis the Birthday Season!

Here is a video from Timmy's birthday...it was actually September 2, but we had his birthday dinner ("skett-i" and meatballs) and cake tonite with Nana & Bumpy (and Bill!). My baby boy is growing up...but he gets one more year at home with Mommy. Kindergarten? Not for another whole year!!! Yay!

I'm going to get more photos from Toby's birthday earlier this week (Aug. 30)...I think they're on Bren's phone, so I'll work on retrieving them.

A New Look for Molly

Molly has been wanting bangs for a while now and so last Tuesday we took the plunge and did it! Isn't she cute? Oh, and there was another motivating factor: her class did state reports and got to dress up as a famous person from their respective state for DCA's Spring Open House last Friday. Molly chose Alaska. Any guesses on who she "impersonated?" The first female AND youngest governor in Alaska's history---you got it: Sarah Palin. She really did look like her, too. HOWEVER...I did NOT get any pictures of her dressed up and standing next to her display (I KNOW---HOW IN THE WORLD COULD WE FORGET THE CAMERA?!?!?). But we'll have a "re-shoot" and I'll post a picture of it soon.

Happy Easter!

HE IS RISEN! Trust you had a blessed Easter...we are so blessed to serve a RISEN Saviour!
