In the middle of the night tonight or maybe in the early hours of the morning, our court case will be determined! The suspense is building!! Pray with us?
After eleven years and 127,000 miles, Scott's Saturn has driven on. That amazing little economical Saturn saw us through life in the college dorms, life in married student housing, our first apartment, our first home, our first relocation, and the addition of our two kids. We're happy to say it ended up in good hands, with my cousin, Angei, and her husband, Adam. We had a wonderful time visiting with them for a speedy 12 hours, before they needed to drive it on to its new home. We even got to show them some small town fun at our annual Christmas parade. Thank you for the loyal service, Saturn.

Now we are finally allowed to introduce our son to you! His name is Abel (which means "breath"). We love his name and are so excited to raise our son in the legacy of the Biblical Abel, a faithful and righteous man, and the first prophet (Luke 11:46-51). These are the pictures I have been longing to share. The first is the referral picture -- the first glimpse we got of our little boy. Here are the pictures we took of us with Abel's picture, which we put together on a ring to send to him. (We're hoping he'll get to see those now that we have passed court!) The following are ones that families trav...

And watching a few minutes of Sesame Street with Abel for the first time ... And him realizing, "I have Elmo in my room!" - The last day of Kindergarten - Adrianna reading me the Skippy John Jones book her teacher gave her - Attending Adrianna's piano recital ... And her walking up calm as can be, the first student to be called - Spending a morning at Farmer's Market and lunch out (a rarity for us with the food all...
