Maw...

We have had a very busy week around here. Steve and I spent 4
days in Hershey at a marriage conference with our church. We had
a wonderful time there. Sat. night Steve's arrived from California.
The kiddos call her "maw". Everyone is enjoying the extra attention
from a spoilin' grandma!!


Aaron was napping and missed this photo shoot

More Gaithersburg

Our second stop on our trip down to MD was to see our good
friends, the Lowes. They were our neighbors while we lived there
and we spend lots of time together last year. Claudia and Emma
became fast friends as did Helen and I. It was so great to spend
some time catching up.
Emma spent the night at the hotel with us. Here are the girls
all jammied up after a few hours in the pool. Can't you tell by
the red eyes!!?


Claudia's attempt at a pic of Helen and I. Helen just had baby
#6. She is an amazing mother and has the sweetest kids


Greta and Piper Lowe

Weekend away

Me and all my girls returned a few hours ago from an overnight in
Gaithersburg. We went down to visit some good friends that we
made while in the Pastor's College. Our first stop was to see my
friend, Summer and her 2 precious little ones. Summer lives in
Burma and is home for a few months. It was so fun to meet her
new little man. William was born just a few weeks after Greta.
They made a pretty cute little pair.


Greta got to borrow William's lumberjack hat while we went for a walk


All the kids minus Aaron. He got to stay home with g-ma and g-pa.
Bummer for this blurry photo

How fun...

A long week...

There has not been too much happening around here this week except 3 of us getting sick. I am thankful that it has stayed at 3... we'll see how long that lasts! I came down with this horrible cough that is finally beginning to clear (it's been almost 2 weeks). Poor little Aaron has it now. He coughs so hard it looks like his eyeballs are going to pop out. So, Steve and I have had some very long (or short, depending how you look at it!!) nights in taking care of him. I think last night I got about an hour and a half of sleep. Ughh.. worse than having a newborn!! So, hopefully this week there will be something fun or picture worthy to post!!
