Summer Days

We have the best neighbors. What a blessing for Thomas and Benjamin to both have a buddy their age living right next door! This summer, we have enjoyed many lazy, hot summer nights hanging with our friends next door. And lucky for us, they have a new pool, and lots of fun other yard toys for us to enjoy.

Memorial Day

Over Memorial Day we had a full house of family. It was a fun, HOT weekend with the May family, and Ryan and Heather too. Thanks everyone for coming!

Saturday and Sunday were spent in the backyard playing with the hose, water table, and sprinklers. Nothing like freezing cold hose water to cool you off on a hot day.

Benj and Thomas splashing on the slip-n-slide.

Andrew keeping cool in the shade

Adrienne and Benj taking a reading break under the umbrella.

Nathan and Micah trying out the baby pool-slide combo that the boys rigged up with our play gym. It was so hot, that our generous neighbors actually ended up lending us their enormous inflatable water slide. This was a huge hit! Thanks Marvels!

Andrew and Eli- little buddies

Andrew on the move

Our baby.


All the boys hanging out with Daddy.


Andrew is on the move. Just rolling so far, and loving his ability to get all over the room. The boys think it is great. We have had to remind them that Andrew is still not ready to wrestle them yet! Before we know it, our little baby will be crawling.

Ahoy Matey!

After her last voyage around Taiwan, Aunt Heather came to visit us! We love to get messy with her and get creative. She is our favorite artist!

Making and painting clay pots.




Letter Art. Benjamin is on the left, and Thomas on the right. I was so impressed with their canvas paintings...and they had so much fun getting messy!

Thomas' Spring Program

I wish I could post some photos of Thomas participating in the preschool program (he knew all the songs and had practiced them at home for me), but he was too teary that evening to join his class for the performance. To his defense, he was recovering from a nasty ear infection. Yet, after the program was over he seemed to perk right up in time for the refreshments. Perhaps he will be the one from his class to be the "Most likely to become an actor" one day.
Class clowns.


We are so blessed with a great Lutheran school for Thomas to attend.
He loves his school and his teacher.

Don't they look like a couple of high school kids walking down the hallway to class?

Mother's Day




Happy Mother's Day! Today my parents came to visit, and I was lucky enough to be able to celebrate Mother's Day with my children, mom, grandma and aunt! It was a lovely day, and I am so thankful for all of the blessings in my life. Being a mother is something I have been talking about since I was a little girl...God has answered many prayers. We missed you Grandma Galiher...Happy Grandma's Day from Indiana to Texas.
