  • We’ve been having good family times lately….here are some pictures from some of them.

    Jackson loves the beach

    Jillian in her cage…she even took a nap in it.

    Our newest adventure is making homemade ice cream!

     

    She loves to play in the freezing cold water.

    Jack n Jill entertaining themselves with a cardboard box….it really is their favorite toy.

     

    Can’t believe this baby is almost one!

    Waiting for the concert to begin….we took our children to Prospect Park to hear some good opera…..you know it had to be the father’s idea. =) 

    We still have a little tourist left in us….The Green Lady herself. (that’s what Jackson calls her)

    In other news….Josh has officially quit his school teaching job.  He has been accepted into a leadership academy to learn how to become a  principal.  He is very busy so I am trying to keep the home fires burning…please pray for me that I would be gracious to him and my children the next six weeks.  I am excited for him and think that he will make a great leader. 
    We had a great time with our church last week-end.  We went camping in upstate New York.  Maybe there will be some pics of that in the near future.
    Some quotes from Jackson:  “My mosquito bites are still awake”, “Mom, I still have a head-stomach” (head-ache)
    He is quite naughty at times but I can’t help but love him.

  • What?!?  Josh, a principal?!?  Wow!  I know he’ll do an excellent job!  Tonya, you and the kids will be in my prayers.

  • Fun pics! I had to smile when you mentioned “Jack and Jill”! ( : 

    I’ll be thinking of you all with this big change happening – sounds like a great adventure! Have a great day – Mj

  • chuckles. sis’s shape cracks me up in that fourth picture:) helmuth perhaps?

  • I’ve been wanting some homemade icecream lately. Never made it before so don’t feel like going through all the trial steps til i get it right!! Hope you “graciously” make it throught the next 6 weeks

  • kinda funny. galen just took a job as principal at our church school. not quite the same as what josh is doing but i`m sure they`d find lots to talk about on that subject if they ever got to talk again. galen was really excited for him what josh is doing. yeah, i`ll say a prayer for you– i`m sure it puts some extra stress on you. kinda like your back in the  “husband in school days”, maybe?
    i just love it when you say “jack and jill”! they are just so DARLING. hard to believe our babies are turning the big 1!!
