How Great is Our God

Well, here I am in California weeping over how much God has blessed me with his sweet salvation and my family. Having a wonderful time and will probaby post what I have been challenged with when I get back. Love you guys! Especially Christi and Andrew!

Jay is the greatest!

Well, since Jay is currently out of town, I thought I would sort of post a tribute to him. Andrew and I miss him so much and can't wait for him to get back! He is the best husband and daddy ever! Yesterday at about five, when Jay usually gets home from work, Andrew started saying "Dada, dada?" It was so cute! We pray that God will teach him lots this week and renew his spirit. Please pray for him when you think about it. We love you, Jay!

I left my heart...

Ok, so I've never actually been to San Francisco or Sacramento. But all that will change this weekend. Tomorrow I'm leaving for the National Youth Workers Convention in Sacramento and then go to San Francisco on Monday to do a pre-site visit for the Center of Student Missions where we'll be going next summer. And I'll get to spend some time with Holly and Brandon (cousin and husband). So please be in prayer for me as I travel and for times of spiritual renewal and ministry challenges. And most definitely be in prayer for Christi and Andrew as they are left all alone in a foreign land! Ok, it's not that bad, but pray that they stay safe and that their spirits stay up.
Love you guys and thanks for support! And check out the website of what I'll be involved in. Always good to know.

Andrew's First Haircut

I can imagine there's going to be a whole bunch of firsts on here! That's why it's so important to check back! Well, here was my attempt at giving Andrew his first haircut. Loads of fun and free! He did wonderful and now he looks like a little boy. Christi cried of course.

A day at the park

We went to the park today to take some video for the DVD which I promise is coming soon! He mostly just loves the leaves and stuff, but hey, we're trying. He actually took a couple of steps as well reaching for something, so that was waaaaaay cool. It was hot so our fun times were short. And he hates the swings!

Andrew's First Boat Ride

Well, this is my first time posting something on here, so bear with me. I figured this would be a good way for our family and friends to keep up with us since we now live so far away. This picture is from Labor day weekend...it was Andrew's first time in a boat and he LOVED it! He would have stayed on there all day if we would have let him. Don't worry Nana, as you can see, he was safe in his life jacket. He couldn't even move his head because it was so tight. It didn't seem to bother him though.

First time out

Ok, people, here we are trying to be all 21st century and keeping up with those that we are very far from. Hope you enjoy. We'll post pics and stories and updates when we can. And of course prayer requests. We love those! Ok, here goes...
