The beauty of Lillies

Nephews at 2wks

Hi everyone, here are pictures of my nephews now 2wks old. Aren't they handsome!
This is Tyler - he's getting so big.



This picture is of Joseph. He decided to flip over a few days ago and so now he sleeps like this.








Here's Tyler, awake and alert.

God's beauty to brighten our day

My two favorite flowers. I've been doing some gardening lately and oh what fun! Kaitlyn loves to help me water the flowers in the evenings. Clayton tells me that they're so beautiful. When I look at these flowers they remind me of God's grace. He's so amazing and loves us!

My nephews have arrived

Hi everyone, good news, my nephews have finally arrived. My sister Nancy was to go in on Monday for an amnio to check if the babies' lungs were fully mature. Well, with Father's Day being today, they decided to make their entrance into this world a memorable one. Today, on Father's Day, the boys were born. My sister is doing well. I'm still waiting to here from her. Below are their stats. Pictures will come soon I promise. But they are all healthy, big, have had their baths and are drinking out of a bottle. My brother-in-law, Joe even put the phone next to Joseph so that I could here him crying. I just love that sound! Thanks so much for all of your prayers.

Mason Alexander - 5 lbs 11 oz (18 3/4 inches long)
Tyler Stephen - 6 lbs 5 oz (19 1/2 inches long)
Joseph Nicholas - 5 lbs 14 oz (18 1/2 inches long)

They were born at 9:14pm at Yale-New Haven Hospital in Connecticut

Planters Day Festival '07

Hi everyone, this weekend is the Planters Day Festival in Woodland where the community comes out to show their warm spirit. We started our morning with a wake up knock at the door at 7am with good ole Stephen (our neighbor) who was ready to go. Well, we weren't quite ready for the day yet so we sent him home for a while. Once Matthew and I had our coffee, we were good to go. So we walked into town for breakfast and then waited for the parade to start. Lots of candy was being thrown from the floats and cars....good thing I packed bags for everyone. The clouds held up and we even got a break of sunshine. We had a great time! Enjoy the photos.

We love you Grace Community Church! Check out their float.

You know you're in the Northwest when you see one of the these down the road!

Who let the dogs out? Woof, Woof, Woof ...

These are the best!

Just a little too tight there Clayton!

Nancy at 34 weeks

Hi everyone, here's a picture of Nancy with her triplets and an update. This picture was taken yesterday after her doctor's appointment. The doctors are wanting her to hold off until the 19th. She will have a stress test done next week and an amnio on the 18th. If the babies' lungs are mature, they will schedule her c-section for the 19th. She is absolutely miserable right now because of the back pain. She can only lay on her side. Sitting and walking are very painful. But she's excited that the end is near and she'll soon be holding her boys, Mason, Tyler and Joseph. Please pray for Nancy and the boys. That they will be born without complications and that Nancy's body will be able to withstand the pain for the day will be hear soon. Thank you all for the prayers.

Clayton graduates Kindergarden

Clayton is officially a first grader. We cannot believe how fast he's growing. And he won the "Cleverness" award. Time to enjoy the summer!

8 mos old - Connor

Here is our sweetie pie. Already 8 mos old and he just mastered sitting up on his own and pulling himself up in just a few days. I cannot believe it. Oh, and he's huge. The shirt that he's wearing is 18 mos size...I don't quite know how to shop for him now. He's definitely gone through a growth spurt. Connor can pick up the smallest things like Cheerios but doesn't quite get how to put it in his mouth, so instead he flings it. The dogs love it! Our baby is growing too quickly!
