"Where's church?"

December 4, A.D. 2005
Emma fell asleep in the car on the way home from church this afternoon, and managed to remain asleep as dad transferred her from her car seat to her bed. When she woke up from her nap, she shuffled (very bleary-eyed) into the living room and queried, "Where's church?" After her parents had a good chuckle, Annie asked her,
"Did you dream of church?"
"Yeah," she replied, then trotted off back to bed.

Pictures with Papa and Nana


Reformation Day




Emma was a Greyfriar monk and we had a great feast at our church. She of course had a fun time with her friends, Charlotte and Jessa. And she got some pumpkin carving in with Papa too.

Friends




Here are Annie with her friends, Lisa, Hannah, and Shannon. Lisa's in her Reformation Day costume; she doesn't dress like that all the time!

Beatrice



Our latest nickname for Bea is "Beaches," cause it rhymes with peaches, or Beatrice, or...okay, it's pretty dumb, but she likes it.

Helicopters



Emma is posing with Annie's cousin Buck in front of a Blackhawk helicopter, the kind he flies around. Then she ended up flying it herself.

Trip to Killeen



Here are Emma and Bea with their cousins Libby and Wyatt. Congratulations to these kids on their new little brother, Cody David.

Long time, no post

It's been a while since we've posted and I apologize. Since last time, Annie's parents have visited us, we went down to Killeen to visit Annie's cousin and family (he's in the Army) and the weather has "cooled down" to a chilly 65 degrees as the high for the day. Gotta love that Texas winter weather! Nevertheless, we still have our Christmas decorations up and our twinkle lights displayed in abundance. Ella is singing about sleigh bells and Santa and you just can't help drinking some eggnog. We leave for Idaho on the 16th and are looking forward to seeing some snow to go along with the Christmas tunes.
