Beach Day!

While grandma and grandpa were visiting last week, we took the boys to the beach! We had a great time watching Micah admire the sand and beach atmosphere. Here are pictures of mommy and Micah and one of Micah sitting on his own! Enjoy!

RAIN DAY!

Dad had a day off and spent it with the boys, we went to the store, grocery shopping, had lunch at McDonald's play land, and had time left over to play in the rain, it was a busy day, check out the video to see Andrew at work. Kyle

Home at last!

Image
It has been such a great last few weeks, I have finally been home. I spent what felt like a majority of the summer traveling, I think I drove a little over 7,000 miles this summer for ministry trips which were all great but it is so nice to be home. It is fun to spend time with Anna and our boys just laughing together and playing together. Andrew is so into his Lego's now it is hard to tear him away, while Micah being only 5 months is sitting up on his own "most of the time" and they enjoy playing together. Micah is always looking for Andrew and listening for what he will be doing next, and looking out for Andrew who may be tackling him at any time; it is always interesting. Home time is always great, we are looking forward to a wonderful fall with many memories at home. Kyle

The Fish Tank Invasion!

Image
Andrew has been very busy throwing obects into his fish tank these past few weeks! He loves finding things around the house to give his fishies. So far his fishies have enjoyed screws, batteries, window knobs, graham crackers, licorice and Canadian coins! Kyle caught him in the action today and took a picture of his fish tank so you could see how busy he has been. Andrew just added a new fish to his tank. We asked him what he would like to name his fishy and he shouted "FOOTBALL!" I guess daddy has a little boy after his own heart. So now Andrew has two fish, one named "Fishy" and the other "Football." Hopefully both will survive the random household items being bombed in their home. Gotta love being parents! Have a great week!

Micah is Already 5 months old!

Today Micah is 5 months old! The time goes so quickly! It is so much fun to watch him rolling, jumping in the Johny Jumper, grabbing objects, watching Big brother Andrew, laughing at daddy and mommy, cooing at people in the grocery store, and learning more and more about the world around him each moment of the day. WOW! Micah has his own little ministry of giving others joy and laughter to not only to Kyle, Drew and me, but those who come into contact with him each and every day. He truly is a light in the darkest of days. Thank you Lord for the gift of Micah. Continue to protect him and watch over him daily. We praise you for the delight he brings our family. We love you Micah!

Fun Memories of July

Image
We loved spending time with Grandma,Grandpa, Nana and GG during the month of July! We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful family who loves and supports us in youth ministry in International Falls, MN! We couldn't serve God as effectively without their encouragement! During the month of July Andrew, Micah and I spent most days in the cities visiting friends and family! Kyle was very busy traveling to Mexico for two weeks on a mission trip with 20 of our youth students and five other youth leaders. We were so glad they had a great time serving Christ and made it home safely. Kyle also spoke at Bluewater Covenant Camp for one week and stayed up there another week to spend time with our Junior High youth students. We also stayed with Kyle while he spoke at camp and then traveled down to the cities the last week of July. While we had a blast shopping, eating at restaurants, swimming, going to parks, and getting terribly spoiled by grandparents in the cities, we are now glad to be
