Britton Nicole

We happily welcomed our first neice into the world this evening! She has given her mommy quite a challenging pregnancy, so we have all been counting the days until we could take turns holding her. Danielle and Matt are so thrilled. We are excited to watch them being Mommy and Daddy. They will be such wonderful parents!! Please keep them in your prayers as they begin the miraculous adventure of parenthood!

Britton - praying that you will be a blessing to your parents and to the One who created you! I can't wait to see how the Lord will use you for his Kingdom! We already love you SOOOO much!

Giraffes, Princesses, Ladybugs and a fever...

This Halloween was pretty simple for us! Emily created her own outfit from her dress-up clothes, Jake changed his mind hourly until it was time to finally get dressed to go out, and Jenna felt pretty crummy all day, she had a fever, but was patient with us as we put her in her ladybug jacket.


Jake was excited to put on his giraffe costume, and a little shy for pictures.

Grandpa and Grandma were in Florida for work on Halloween, so we snuck out the garage door and rang the doorbell the night before to come "trick-or-treating" at their house while they were still home - you'll notice that Jake was a construction worker. All along that was his plan, but he changed his mind daily about how he would dress up. We had the giraffe costume in a bag of hand-me-downs, and I just had him try it on to see if it fit and then he decided to wear that the next night.
