Suprise Trip to Florida!

We decided to go down south over Spring Break. It was so fun! We enjoyed spending time with my Grandparents, surprising Josh, getting to know his sweet girlfriend, and soaking in some Florida sunshine.

Grandma and Grandpa loved having a little person around.



We went to the West Palm Zoo.



Julia loved it!!!



Climbing around at a Children's Mueseum.



This is Josh's quartet, Alive. We enjoyed hearing them practice!

Snow Fun!!!

It was so neat to take Julia out to enjoy the snow!!! Meet Snow Baby... (it was too cold to made a snow man)




She wasn't quite sure what to think of the sled ride.... but kept walking back to the sled for more!







She also kept wanting to taste this fluffy white stuff...kind of good... it's just so cold! :)

Autumn Days

I love Fall! The holiday preparations, sweater weather, candles, soup, the pretty leaves... it's just a woderful time of year!

Starting a New School Year!

It's so much fun to have everyone back on campus again! We were also excited to meet the new freshman class at AWC. Stephen has the priveledge of being their class sponsor. The first Fri. evening we invited some of them over for supper and croquet. It was a great time! God has sent us some wonderful young people to work with!

Nathan, Lynette, and Katie are trying to master the Bop-It Game...


Brandi is my faithful kitchen helper!

Julia decided croquet wasn't her thing.
