I am completely embarassed that six entire months have slipped by without a post on here. I had these elaborate plans to post immediately after the girls' first birthday party and show you all the pictures. Obviously I got distracted somewhere along the way. Can't go back and change it now.
I will quickly fill you in on all the changes in our lives. I know what you're thinking but no, I'm not pregnant. :-)
In January we accepted a youth pastor position in Trenton and have been quite busy with our teenagers. In April we moved. It was only a few blocks from our previous house, but man oh man was it a process! We painted each and every room on the house. Now, I like most people LOVE the end result that painting gives to a home. However, I despise painting. I don't mind packing, organizing, unpacking, reorganizing, cleaning and then cleaning again. But painting, blech. And this wasn't your typical paint job. There was so much more prep work that went into this project than I have put into any other recent project. One room in particular needed THREE coats of primer and then two coats of paint. Needless to say, it took the wind out of my sails just a bit. But like I mentioned earlier, the end result is beautiful - at least we think so!
June kicked off our Summer craziness with a bang. Micah took a small group to Summer Camp while I held down the fort at home. July found us in Colorado for two glorious weeks. It was much needed time that I spent with my parents and my whole lively family. Have you ever heard the saying, "You don't know what you have till it's gone."? This sums up my relationship with Colorado. I never knew that I could actually miss the mountains. I know we all tend to idealize our hometowns, but I'm telling you, there is nothing more beautiful than a Rocky Mountain sunset.
And here we are, in August. It's AUGUST! Where has the Summer gone? My baby girls are now 16 months old and I finally feel as though I'm ahead of this whole parenting game. So much so, I start babysitting two little boys next week. No I'm not crazy. Well, maybe. :-p
I won't bore you with anymore details from my life. Here are quite a few pictures from our many experiences since February. Hope you enjoy this as much as we did. God bless!
