Ringing in the New Year

The last of our traveling happened over New Years weekend when we went to visit with Laura and Bill. We had dinner after we arrived on Friday night, stayed up late to get to midnight (and then went to bed at 12:15...or at least, I did!), woke up on Saturday for "Christmas morning". The boys went shooting in the afternoon and the girls had a pedicure party watching the recorded Rose Parade. Sunday we went to church (Laura and I confused a bunch of people!!) and then headed back. We had a great time all together and can't wait to get the call that our nephew is on his way! Enjoy these pictures from the weekend:

Alison!! I haven't checked on your blog in way too long. Our computer crashed awhile ago and I'm just now catching up on everything. You look adorable!! Definitely a little bit bigger this time around (welcome to a second baby), but looking great. Hope you are feeling well too. Looks like your holidays were fabulous. Get some good rest. The best is yet to come! :)

April Hope

Praise God! We are thrilled to announce the birth of April Hope, born this morning at 4:42 a.m. and weighing in at 8 lbs 3 oz. and 20.5 inches long. We think she is beautiful! Both April and Alison are doing great. Here are just a few of many pictures taken on her first day. More to come...

More Bloopers

These pictures just make me laugh ~ especially the last two. I have a feeling that Aunt Laura, in particular, will think those last two are funny also. :)

A dear friend

I'm leading the study tomorrow at my Bible Study. We're reading a book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan and the chapter I'm in 'charge of' of real life examples of people who are living completely for Christ. I've come up with an example from my own life to talk about and I thought I'd let my blog readers in on what I'm going to share tomorrow. Enjoy! I met Mrs. Hohman on a hot July afternoon after mistakenly knocking on her neighbor’s door. I stood on her front porch with my mom, nervously waiting to meet the woman I planned on living with for my first year at Grove City . I felt like I was towering over her short frame as she showed me the 3 rd floor and barked the rules of “no swearing, no smoking, no boys”. I handed over my rent check and moved to her house in late August. September came and a fellow freshman had a mental breakdown and her bed was now available to me…… So, after 3 weeks of living with Mrs. Hohman I moved out....
