Hangin' With the Fam =

Pure Bliss

Both the kiddos were so happy to go back "home" earlier this month.  We had a wonderful visit and got to see almost everyone in our families.  It was so neat to see how the Lord worked out everyone's schedule, so we could see them.

Some highlights from the trip...

• Going to the Zoo with the Everharts
• Date night (Thanks Mom, Rachel, and Dave!)
• Fishing and Hiking
• Clare's 1st Birthday Party (first party we have ever made of the kids cousin's)
• Shopping at the Outlet Malls
• Getting news of our new assignment (ie moving to Kansas)
• Meeting my brother's girlfriend (Hi, Erica!)
• Japanese Steakhouse
• Hearing the news that Matt and Erica are now Engaged!! We couldn't be more excited!
• Seeing Iron Man 2 opening night, at the late night showing.  
• Watching the boys play on Grandpa's "Fire Engine".
• Looking at Real Estate around Lawrence  (I know, premature, but it was fun to see what our future holds for us).
• Getting to see my sister's new house, before she even moved in!
• Meeting little Silas for the first time, he is such a good baby!
• Running on the KU campus with Nate and Anna.

and so so much more.  Thank you everyone for making our time at home so special.  We love you all!
