An Overview

The reason I haven't been blogging....
...is because we've been much too busy snuggling our delicious new girlie!...keep scrolling to see an overview of the snuggles and a few more happenings.

Brie had been screaming and then suddenly quiet. Big sister Esmé had quieted her by rocking the car seat.

2 Months Old

A. Marlene made this cozy blankie for Brie. It has her name on it. Brie LOVES it...she loves to snuggle with blankets and this is one of them.

"Take our picture!"

Baptism-Oct 24

Thank you Lord for the blessing and promises of Your Covenant! Are there words for the beauty of God's love shown to His people?!

"So we, Your people and sheep of Your pasture,
Will give You thanks forever;
We will show forth Your praise to all generations."
Psalm 79:13

Thank you Nana and Papa for hosting and feeding a huge crowd of family and friends for Brie's baptism!!!!! It sure took a load off of us and we REALLY appreciated it!

"Let's get the picture done so we can get this girlie out of her dress!" (the dress was worn by some of my sisters which makes it special. Grandma Zuidema made it when my sister Emily was born. Taunya's kiddos have worn it too.)

A. Becky held Brie for the church service. A. Dani held Chloe which was super neat because Becky, Dani and I go 'way back'.

Great Grandpa and Grandma Zuidema Visit

A special picture of Brie with her Great Grandma Zuidema. Don't pictures with grandparent's say SO much on so many different levels?! They speak of history, love, God's grace...
