Surprise...

BABY!! God has a special surprise in store for us this summer. We are thrilled to receive an addition to our little family in March 2013!! And in spite of the nausea, we are loving the adventure so far. 

 

 6 weeks pregnant!! Baby is the size of a lentil.

Summertime...

What a summer! We've enjoyed time with family, great summer jobs, and are looking forward to the next chapter. After spending 2 months with Dana's family in Colorado, we are in Washington with John's parents, and will attempt the impossible-looking feat of loading all our worldly possessions into 2 vehicles and head to Kansas City, Missouri, for John to start school at International House of Prayer University (aka IHOPU) on August 16th. Here are some highlights from the summer:

 Memorial Day Hike with the Larsons

 

Beautiful Colorado Day

 

Playing Frisbee with the Larsons... and Reepicheep

 Picnic!

Dana, and her boys

 Cinnamon Twisp... yum!

John and an awesome plate of Duck Brand Nachos

Back in the States

We made it safe and sound back to Colorado; the Larsons picked us up at the airport. It's wonderful to see family and get settled somewhere with a little more room, although we already miss Lucy. We're staying here this summer, and excited to see where the Lord will take us come the fall. Time to begin the job search...

Back in France!

 Mont-St-Michel and my honey.

 Picnics and Lucy, two of our favorite things.
