ada and o's love taking baths together.

christmas time

we had a wonderful time at christmas. dave and lauren were home from germany for a week. we had a great time with family and friends.

hanging out at the bolser's on new years. fyi...the bald guy is sam!







dave, lauren, and the kids

ada loves joe's log cabin. he's using the pulley to lift her to the loft.
the beginning of june i attended the young life all staff conference in orlando, fl. it happens every 4 years. young life staff all over the world come and worship, fellowship, learn, and refuel. it was an amazing experience. there were appearances from jeff foxworthy, jack hannah, jars of clay, donald miller, to name a few.

this is me in the swiss family robinson tree house.


me and my homies!


Young Life club is in full swing. our last club was battle of the sexes. guys and gals face off in some friendly head-to-head competition. we were also ready to do some battle...GRRRRRR!!!!!

trick or treat


ada and joe had a great night passing out candy. after passing out candy for a while we took her around the neighborhood to collect some for herself. the first house she came to she reach in the candy bucket, pulled out a sucker, put it in the bag of another kid, and said "trick-or-treat"! needless to say, she had more fun passing out candy...well, maybe she had more fun eating it!!

bath time

like ada, owen loves bath time. he especially loved it after his surgery because it was about the only time his arm splints weren't on. he would start to put his hands up to his mouth and i would tell him to stop. he would slowly lower his hands with a sweet look on his face. it took him a good 2 weeks after we took his splints off before he realized he could put his hands in his mouth again!

hanging with mr. stanley nibbles

day with family


we had a fabulous day with aunt janet (ada calls her aunt janna), uncle tom, great aunt jane and uncle tommy, and grandmother. we roasted marshmallows and hot dogs at deb and joe's. joe has almost finished the civil war era log cabin he reconstructed on their property. ada had a great time in the loft with joe...of course she needed a bath when the day was done!

O's Big Day

monday, october 22nd finally arrived and the day could not have gone any better. owen was amazing! he hardly complained about being hungry before surgery. he took a couple naps and hung out with family. dr. sadove and the nurse took him around noon and said they would be finished in a couple hours. we all headed to the cafeteria, had a nice, relaxing lunch (well, as relaxing as it could have been), and then back to the waiting room where we were able to see him at 2pm. HE'S SO HANDSOME!!! we were blown away by his face. he looks so much like ada. we went to the children's hospital with him and everyone took off. my mom and i stayed with him overnight. again, he was such a trooper. we could not sing enough praises about the entire staff of st. vincent's! now we're home. we're tired, but feeling a bit more at ease.

sunrise on o's big day


lance, owen and i had a wonderful stay with lance's grandparents on Geist Reservoir. owen and i got up before 7 so he could have one last feeding. just as he was finishing up the sun came up over the water. the two of us walked to the end of the dock and sat by the calm water. we watched as bass jumped out of the water. it was so peaceful. i can't remember the last time i had a moment of stillness like that. it was an absolutely precious gift from the Lord.

lovin' the gown


we really thought the gown was the perfect color with his skin!
