Thanksgiving Day 2010

We spent Thanksgiving with Ryan's family this year. It was a wonderful day of sharing with family and eating (too much!) good food and, the kids were glad to play with cousins that we don't see very often. Here's Micah and Aabree...

This was a process! But we had great help and the kids love having it. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for the playhouse!

Apple Orchard 2010

As a family tradition, we went to pick apples at an apple orchard in the fall. We went with Grandpa, Grandma, Jessica and Joe and had a great time!

The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins

On Micah's birthday we went to go see The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins at the Children's Theater. It was Micah's (and Anna's) first play at the Children's Theater and he was so excited that on his 6th birthday he sat in seat #6 and, that mom and dad had both seen their first Children's Theater play at age 6 also (Paddington Bear). It was a lot of fun with Grandpa, Grandma & Jessica too!

First Day(s) of School 2010!

Grace's Baptism

On August 22nd, Grace was water baptised at our church baptism service at Green Lake Bible Camp in Spicer. She was so excited to take this next step in her faith walk! We are so happy and proud of her decision. She asked Daddy and Pastor Brad to baptise her...
