Family Update

If you haven't heard from us in awhile, it is probably because we were either burried in snow, out braving the cold weather, or...well, I will let the pictures do the talking. This has been kind of a crazy year so far. But, it has also been filled with many blessings from God! Here is a look into our lives in 2014...

We started out the new year with visitors from Wisconsin. We had so much fun with Kelly, Andy, and most importantly, Shiloh! Havilah and Ian loved having their cousin here to visit!

Dr. Shiloh

Daniel, preaching in the afternoon service at Memorial.

Ian, saying his memory verse for church.

Our next visitors were the Rains family, missionaries to Kenya (whom we have known for a very long time). We enjoyed spending time and catching up with them! Our kids had a blast playing together!

Having dinner with the Christophers and the Rains family!

Seeing some city sights...Havilah got in on their family picture.

A big highlight of our year so far was our visit for the Germany Klauses! We had so much fun being together and showing them the city!

Then, we had a long interlude of sickness in our family, where the kids spent most of the time on the couch. Thank you to all who prayed for us!

Jr. Church with Miss Amarys!

Homeschool Day with our friend Elli!

Our baby girl is learning to read!

Here are some of Havilah and Ian's Brooklyn friends. We get together once a month so we moms can pray together and have a time of spiritual refreshment, while the kids play. :) I am learning that when life gets busy, the most important thing we can do is to keep our focus on our Savior!
