Trick

Our Ethiopian Friend

Little princess Miriam came over to play again yesterday.

This time Scotty and Amelia were both home. It was so special for them to play with this sweet girl. It's been a while since we've had a baby in our house. Junie was so gentle and loving.

The kids could NOT get enough of her...

Makes us all the more excited for our new little brother!!!!!! Sissy is going to spoil him!

WE LEAVE FOR ETHIOPIA IN 6 DAYS!!!!!!!!!

Friends!

Spring Day

Self timer.

Jump!

1...2...3... jump! Oh, Macker!

There you go!

Brothers.

Monkey bars!

Amazing!

I love my family.

Play Date and President Show

Junie had a play date and they played OUTSIDE!

Then we dropped Macker off at Wheaton Bible Church to be with Big Scott.

We wanted to be early to get a good seat at Sissy's President Show. (I acknowledge how strange it was that there were no other cars in the lot when we arrived)

Time for the show!!

Sissy in the front row!

"Amber waves of grain..."

President rap!

THE FLAG!

Amelia was assigned Ronald Regan and she did a great little report.

I love his lips.

Happiness

These pictures make me laugh my head off.

What on earth is Macker wearing?!

Playing OUTSIDE!!!!

A Smile

I wanted to make sure you all saw this.

Cousins

Our cousins came to Chicago and we get to swim at their hotel! AWESOME!!

Soccer Susie

Sissy is the tiny one with the red shirt... love her!!

I love hearing strangers cheering for AMELIA!!!

My Macker

Macker is so much fun and the life of the party but... he really likes things to go his way...
This is a very long video but it makes Scott and I laugh our heads off.

He's perfect!

Pizza By Junie

He said he saw this on PBS and he's been bugging me for weeks about about making a spider web pizza.

Ta-da!!

Our Secret Adventure

Robyn and I got to the airport 2 days in a row at 2am. So worth it.

This picture is about 2 seconds after we got to the restaurant. I've seriously never seen Jen so "covered".

Happiness!!! Heather and Jen.

All us girls!!

Sedona was beautiful. We found the perfect pull-out to take pictures.

We followed each other down the mountain to the valley.

Beautiful.

Hey Kel, are you happy!?!

We sat in the sun by the pool reading books and magazines soaking up the AZ sun.

The sky was seriously this beautiful.

And our friend Mikele is seriously this strange.

Eph. 1:16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.
