Matt and Deb at Ordination

Deb sent a picture of Matt getting ordained and I had to share it. Matthew looks smashing in his tie! We are so proud of both of them!

Deb and Matt are leaving August 13th

Deb called yesterday and they have their tickets for Israel. I am so excited for them but going to miss them more than I can say! Pray for their lives and safety.

Dave's a Great Uncle!

Thank you Grandma for my new highchair!

Ethan is still learning how to sit up in his new highchair. Thank you Grandma!

Getting To Know One Another

Today we had a new friend named Ashley come over with Evie. We all met at church and so it was really awesome to get to know each other better. Lynn, Amy, and Hayden came over too! It was a lot of fun. We had some really great laughs! Ashley just got married a month ago so we looked at her MySpace to see some pictures. We were laughing so hard that it brought tears! We had a blast!

This one's for Carol!

Sorry, Carol, I don't give into peer pressure very well. There is no way I could do the Chicken Lips song for you to record on camera. But to make it up to you, here is another one of my favorites...

A Day of Vistors

Yesterday, Becca got to stay the night scrapbooking until we dropped...which for us was about 9:30pm, watched a movie, and went to bed at midnight. We are sooo old! Becca did one card and a 8x8 two page layout. That's it! I at least slammed out a few pages. Of course without the journaling and titles done. We are so pathetic! This morning Josh came to pick Becca up to go fishing.

A few hours later Lynn, Amy, and Hayden came to visit. We started a movie and then had to keep stopping it to take care of the babies. We sat the best friends together and I think Ethan really got to see Hayden for the first time. We got these precious shots. We couldn't stop laughing!

Then about an hour later, Carol and Sharon came to visit. I can't believe that Grandma came twice in one week! We were so blessed! I captured this photo of Ethan talking to his grandma.

We really had a great time visiting with Carol and Sharon. I hope they both come again really soon.

Taking a Walk

We both woke up early enough to get out before it got too hot. It was Ethan's first time riding in the stroller front-facing. It was refreshing!

Laughing Out Loud

Ethan hasn't stopped talking today! He was laughing out loud for the first time (without me tickling him). For no reason he squeals! It is so funny!

Sitting Up

Yesterday Ethan fussed in the bath. He wanted to sit up! I couldn't help but get the camera to take a picture!

Then Becca and Josh invited us over for dinner. It was a great time visiting with them and the Englers. Josh made a great steak with his famous bread on the BBQ. It was nice to talk with adults for a while...
