Sweet new nephew!

While Lee was gone in Colorado, my sweet little nephew made his entrance into the world! The girls and I drove down to see him and his wonderful family, here are a couple of pics.

Our Calm before the storm

Thanks to some of our most wonderful friends we got to get away this past week for 2 days just to be together, our little fam. It was soooooo wonderful! Restful, fun and - just being together. We didn't know it was coming, but as soon as we got home we pretty much all got sick, me with strep throat, Norah and Jack had ear infections, and pink eye touched a few. Thankfully Lee is healthy, please pray he stays that way! But before all that hit and Lee had to leave for Colorado we had this little haven of fun together. It was beautiful, thanks friends!  Please pray for me too, when Lee is gone I feel so homesick for him...

New pics

Wow, it's been a really long time since I've posted anything. Sorry about that. Here are some pics to fill in some of the gaps. Anna graduated from her preschool last week, she is Kindergarten bound and couldn't be happier. The other pics are of us hanging out with some fam at Mary's house for Henry's b-day.

Somewhere Beyond the Barn

I've noticed a new phenomenon happening with our little Rosie lately.  She loves the Veggie Tale's movie The Wizard of Has, a Veggie portrayal of the story of the Prodigal Son following the pattern of the old classic, The Wizard of Oz.  
Well, at the end of the movie the little hero "Darby" goes back home to his dad on the dental floss farm and his Dad runs to greet him, hugging and lavishing love on him- even to the extent of renting a bouncy castle and jumping in it together with his runaway son who had come home.  During this part of the movie, and long after it, our little girl just bawls her eyes out.  She literally walks around the house singing the songs and crying to herself.  I think her sweet heart is so struck by the magic of that story, the love that our Father has for us, and it melts her heart.  
In the words of Andrew Peterson, "A thing resounds when it rings true, ringing all the bells inside of you."  
This story resounds with you sweet Norah, and we just happened to catch it on video!
