Moved

Ok, so I wasn't able to keep updated during our move. We are now all in Eau Claire. It was very tough saying good-bye to everyone in Watertown. There is no pics in this entry because we cannot get my computer to connnect to the internet. We are trying and hopefully soon all will be up and running agian. The move did go well, all considered. Everything is in the new place and working well. Please continue to pray for us as we adjust. We are very excited about what the Lord has for us here in Eau Claire. A huge thank-you to all of those who helped us during our move. Praise the Lord for lots of friends and family that came to help us.

Another little note. We are aunt and Uncle agian. My brother now has a son.
Daylyn michael. I got the call on Saturday during the unpacking of boxes. He is adorable.
Agian pics will follow when the computer is working agian.

Change in Direction

Over the past couple of months the Lord has led us in a new direction. We will miss our church family in Watertown tramendously. The Lord has opened the door for Greg to pastor CITA Baptist church in Eau Claire WI. So as we move and pack I will try to keep udated a bit. We are looking forward to the new ministry the Lord has for us. the church

Easter

Luke 24:6a He is not here, but He has risen.

We had a great Easter celebrating our risen savior. We had a morning breakfast and church and worshiped our loving Lord with our church family.

Alyssa wanted her hair curly and since it is short is was very curly. Adorable!!!

John loves his Bible. He loves to sing the B-I-B-L-E.

I could not get the kids to cooperate so here is one of the best shots I could get of them together.

I colored eggs for the first time with the kids. They enjoyed it and made a mess. I had fun too.

The kids had fun coloring all these eggs.

This tea set was one of the highlights of the party. All the girls oohed and aahed over her tea set. And as you can see Nathan enjoyed it too.

Alyssa was playing tea party with Nathan. She told us she was going to marry him and Josh. (see the last picture of this entry) Aparently she thinks she has it all figured out.

Alyssa and her "Aunt" Tiffany. They are good buds.

John enjoyed celebrating his birthday. Here he is eating his dinner. He even blew out his candle. It was so very cute.

Why is everyone watching me? He had a sports theme as you can see.

This cake is oh so good!

Friends, helping him celebrate.
