We're Back!

Well, it has been a while since I've had time to post.  We just returned tonight from spending the last five days out in California.  My brother graduated and then we extended our stay to make a trip to Disneyland.  I'm going to try and put a slide show together of our pictures and hopefully will get that posted soon.  I made a few other posts of what's been going on with us in addition to our big vacay!  A good time was had by all!

Daddy's Day

"Dad, a son's first hero, a daughter's first love."

Thank you Daddy for everything you do for us!  You always make us smile, always make us laugh, always find time to play, always help us out. You give the best hugs, play the best game of chase, cook the best crepes, read the best stories, give the best baths.  We love you and you will always be the best dad in the world to us!

A Preacher in the Family

My sweet 87 year old grandmother once said that she always wanted to have a preacher in the family.  Well, this past Saturday, her little wish came true when my brother graduated from Fuller Theological Seminary.  

We all traveled out to California this past weekend for the big event and had a wonderful time.  The ceremony was very special and quite moving at times.  Jerimiah has worked so hard, is so dedicated to what he feels called to do, and his love for the Lord.  He has a strong heart for missions and plans to do mission work overseas at some point in his life.  I'm so proud of you Jer, and I can't wait to see what God has in store for you!  Love you little brother!

Sweet Baby Lucy

Just a couple of cute pictures of our sweet baby. She is quite the little grinner!! She is 11 weeks now and has survived her first family vacation (another post on that to follow). She was a real trooper and even continued to sleep through the night despite the 2 hour time change in California!

Fun on the Farm

We recently spent some time out at Cory's parents with his family. Christopher has an absolute ball out there. This time was especially fun because we had some baby kittens to play with (or should I say, torture?). He also loves to feed the horses, ride on Grandad's tractor, and swim while we are there. Here are a few pics...

2 Months!

Miss Lucy Baylor is 2 months old!  I can't believe it, time has really flown by!  I took her to the doctor today for her two month check up and our baby girl is doing just great.  She now weighs 10 pounds 13 ounces and is a little over 22 inches long!  She is smiling at us all the time now which is such a delight.  She is still nursing well and has recently been giving me a seven hour stretch at night!  We are overjoyed with her and Christopher still warms our heart daily with how sweet he is to her.  Cory and I feel so blessed to have such an amazing little family!

Fun Times With Friends!

Some very dear friends of ours, the Leuchters, came to visit us last week. They brought their baby girl Adelyn, who happens to be our goddaughter, with them and we were able to meet her for the first time. What an absolute angel she is. I really think I only heard her cry once the entire time they were here! Christopher didn't know what to do with himself with two baby girls in the house! He was his sweet self, always wanting to hug on them and saying "I love both babies."

The wonderful men in my life

Our family

The Leuchter Family

It was so great to get to spend that time with Scott and Dena. Now that we are all parents, things have really changes since we first met them. But it is so much fun to be parents together and I look forward to watching our children grow together! Thanks, Leuchters for making the trip to Texas! We love you guys!
