Halloween 2009

My friend from college and her family came over from Grayling to visit us. She is originally from Fairview and knew where to take the kids trick or treating. Her parents first invited us over for pizza and then we went to her parents church for a carnival. Then we went to a local park and participated in the trunk or treat they had. It isn't as easy to go door to door up here so we opted for these two activities instead. Kolby couldn't keep his hands out of the candy bowl.

Moving Day!!

On October 8, 2002 we officially moved in to our new house as Resident Missionary Staff of Camp Barakel. What a crazy and wonderful ride the Lord has taken us on in the last couple of years. We are unpacked and beginning to get settled into life here. We thank everyone for their prayers and support to get us here.

Logan's Last Day of Preschool and Graduation

Yesterday was Logan's last day of preschool. And on Wednesday he had a graduation ceremony. On the last day the kids from both classes were able to move about both classrooms and outside as much as they pleased. The whole family, except Nate who was in school, joined in the celebration. What a nice ending to a wonderful year. It is so bitter sweet though. You know I hate the fact that the kids won't stay this small forever, but I love how much God is growing them into wonderful children. I was so pleased with Logan's preschool, the teachers and the kids. God blessed my little boy with wonderful friends. There were so many caring parents that touched our hearts. Praise God for this experience. Pictures to come.

Kolby's 1st Birthday Pictures

Kolby's 1st Birthday

Well Kolby turned 1 today. It is very bitter sweet. I love the fact that he is getting older and doing more things each day. But it is a little sad thinking that he is getting older and will never be under 1 again. We as so thankful to God for giving us him. We had a party this evening for him with the family. He loved eating the cake once he stopped playing with it and actually tasted it. There will be pictures to come but I am way too tired to put them up right now.

Not Again

Well I ended up taking Kolby to the doctor today because he was really congested and had a fever last night. I am sure glad that I did because what I thought was an ear infection was really bronchitis. Now he has to do breathing treatments 4 times a day, which isn't too bad, well at least I thought it wasn't. Yeah, you try to get a very active 11 month old to sit still with this thing over his face for 10 minutes at a time. Ugh! Not so easy. Oh, well we will endure.

Kolby's First Steps

For the last month Kolby has started to take some steps. Lately he has started to let go of things by himself and tries to walk across the room. We are all excited for him.
