Cuddle time with the baby

Uh Oh!!

5 year anniversary

Kevin and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary the time has gone by very fast!! Three moves, two job changes, and two children later we are still going strong. We just finished watching our wedding video, and it was so great to remember the friends, family, dancing, and just how YOUNG we looked! I think we are better dancers now. God willing, here is to many, many more happy years of marriage.

I am holding my head up high!
This was a busy weekend. First of all I wanted to share that my dad ran his first 8K race in Iowa, and I am very proud of him. Soon I need to get back into shape to run with him so we can run some races together in the future. Next, Kevin's parent's were in for Thanksgiving, and they were able to be here for Rachel's baby dedication.

Rachel's baby dedication

Picture with the kids
On a different note, our best friends in the area Joel and Mary left for Hawaii, and we had our last get together on Sunday. We have had the blessings of four and a half years of friendship with them. It reminds me of all the great people who have been in our lives, and although we may not be able to see those we love very often, you are always in our hearts! We originally started out our Bible study with four couples no kids, and you can see in the picture above how we have grown!

Fun at Chuck E. Cheese with Memere and Pepere!

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving, there is so much to be thankful for!

I just wanted to show a little brother/sister moment on our bed. I think Daniel loves his little sister, she is the "baby" and wants to give her a kiss every morning. Rachel is still trying to figure him out.

First time blogger

Hello everyone!

It has been some time coming, but I am putting together a blog! I have had so many thoughts on how to start, what I was going to say, but when it comes down to it I will just start. I actually just got a phone call from Kevin, the building inspector approved our home, and we are on our way to a certificate of occupancy!! If you don't know how important that is for us, we can talk. With dealing with that, our toddler and newborn, and the holidays coming, things have been busy. God is so faithful and bringing us through every situation. So I look forward to sharing more of what is on my heart, going on with family, and just at least a weekly update from our lives. I hope to have fun sharing and keeping in touch with you all!
