MMMmmmmm, Mmmmm, GOOD!!

There's nothing like a good read-it's like a good meal for the soul. Taun sent me this link http://humblemusings.com/archives/2007/02/ and it is a must read! The link begins in the archives of this woman's blog in February. I haven't read further than February yet but for those of you who are in the throws of mothering I BEG you to read and be nourished. I am so thankful that God introduces us to such simple yet godly and profound people. Read on my friend!

...Thanks so much for sending me this Taun-it was a giant HUG on a very rough day of mothering.

Strawberries!

Mmm...these taste good!

Esmé Update

Esmé had an appointment with the cardiologist on Friday afternoon and all is very well. The blood that has been flowing backwards is trivial. We will see the cardiologist again in September and he figures that this will be her last appointment. We sure our thankful to God that He has blessed Esmé with good health and has also kept us from worrying about her health as every appointment that she has had, has been a good report. This sure is an answer to prayer and we once again can't thank people enough for prayer on her behalf.

Her weight is now 14lbs 11oz...she's a chubba lub! :O)

FIVE Years of Marriage

Well, last weekend was our fifth anniversary and we celebrated by spending a night in Grand Bend. If a picture is worth a thousand words, let me qualify that statement by saying some pictures may lead to some pretty outrageous assumptions. For one, we look like we had a horrible dinner, but it was fabulous. For another we look very unimpressed with each other but we are wildly in love. In short, I have no good pictures to show for our night away but we had a blast despite the lack of great pictures. We are so thankful for the marriage God has blessed us with and pray that He will continue to be a part of our life together 'till death do us part'.

Esmé was quite pleased to 'sabotage' our anniversary...actually she was a very good girl.

It is hard to see in this picture but there is a boat half sunk in the water. A very unsuccessful boat launch I would say!

Young People's Come for 'Coffee House'

We had 28 yps over for supper last night. Yikes, what a crowd! We had a blast and the girls loved the attention.

Ksena with Derek...what else is new?
Joel sharing crispers with Mia.
My sis Amy. Nice shot I would say. Haha-Gotcha!
"Let me go!! Daddy! HELP!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's some shots that Derek got...

Hey, this one is actually sweet!

Here's the 911 operator of the crowd. Not a job I could handle...although dealing with 3 little woman 24 hours a day sometimes feels like a constant emergency!

Gardening Buddies

Jesse Boy!

Nothing like a true boy...dirt and all. Melissa came for her dress fitting for Anita's wedding. Thanks for visiting Dani D. and I while you were in town!! Please come again. Dani brought Seth with her and he had fun riding Mia's pink bike. :o) I guess color doesn't matter when it comes to wheels!
