Catching up...Graduation Day

He did it! Allen graduated from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary with both a Master's in Old Testament, as well as another Master's in New Testament. Here are some pictures to remember the big day.

It is done! Yeah!!!

Catching up...Graduation Bears

So the girls got to put up the 99 bears counting up to the day of Graduation. Daddy of course got to do 100 after the commencement ceremony.

This was a picture we took at day 50 when they no longer were going to all fit on the door anymore.

catching up...Gracie Turns 1

Here are some fabulous birthday photos from Gracie's first birthday:

Catching up...Easter 2010

So I am WAY behind, but here are some pictures from Easter this year!

She is 5

It is tough to believe that this little girl is now 5. Happy Birthday Lizzie!

We are Back

So we are in our newly rented home and are starting to "settle in", whatever that means. I am putting together an update letter complete with our new address and hopefully a picture or two. If you would like one, please let me know, and if need be email me your address!

Hopefully, I will be posting quite a bit in the next few weeks, to get you caught up on what we have been up to during our time away from blogging!

Too Much

So I haven't been a good blogger. It always seem like when I have the most things to post about, I have the least amount of time to sit at the computer to post. That has been the case as of late.

There will be many posts to come, though I can't guarantee how long it will be before they appear. Here is a glimpse:
New job
New baby
New home town (and old)
New friends (and old)

Aquatic

Steph put a couple of lemon slices in her water bottle.

Ellie: Whoa! I didn't know lemons could swim!

Observation

Lizzie: Daddy, can you put on the video?

Allen: You'll need to wait.

Steph: Do you see what Daddy's doing?

Lizzie: Yes, he's feeding Gracie.

Allen: Can I feed Gracie and put on a video at the same time?

Lizzie: No, you only have two hands. You're not an octopus.

Belated

Well, we're several days late, but Happy Birthday Malina Grace! We can't believe you're 1 year old already!
