our weekend in Oshkosh!

My mom, Greg, and Dad. Greg's been in Iraq for 6 mo. now and they sent him home for 2 wks to rest and visit family. We miss him and pray for him regularly.

The gang who travelled to see Greg before he left for his second 1/2 in Iraq. He's leaving on Thursday for a 19 hr. flight. Please pray for his safety and that God uses him to show others the way to Christ.

Our new prayer card of Greg Widmer. We love him and are so proud of his character and service to our country!

Last week happenings!!

The twins have started potty-training :) It's an experience!!!

Emma on her easter-egg hunt. It was 30 degrees.


Andrew discovering an egg in the bush :)


Kathleen Labieniec, a student here at NBBC, had to host a birthday party for a class project. She picked Emma and decorated the house with Carebears!!! She had wonderful games and food. We are so thankful that she chose Emma.

The cake was yummy: the twins kept sneaking it off the counter :)

Her yummy cake.

Nanny and Papa came and celebrated. Nanny was helping Emma read her card.

Handy Manny helps Daddy fix the drawer

Well, Brent is leaving tomorrow for another week of classes at Faith in Iowa. He was so helpful today fixing things and taking out the trash. We will miss him soo much, but know we'll stay super busy while he's away. He'll be done in 1 yr. with his M.Div. We're happy about that. Then, he'll be on his way to a PhD. He's a great student and teacher! I am blessed to have him as my godly husband. The only thing I hold against him: He's taking my computer with him for a whole week. So, I won't be blogging, but will spend more time with my kids :) I hope you all have a super week and remember me in prayer!

Missions Conference Week

This picture was taken by Andrew Stephen Belford :) He's so talented and a little too short for photography at this time! Kristi Flinck and Betsy Eckman were here at NBBC for the Missions Conference. We were together a few times to let our kids play together and to visit! It was great fellowship. Between the 3 of us, we have 10 children! Yikes!!!! Betsy has twin boys who are 16 mo. old. Our twin girls are 24 mo. old. I told her, "It gets worse!" That was NOT so encouraging, but nonetheless, TRUE!


Snack time....

The Happy Children on the couch. Emma was still at school. I don't think there would have been room for her.




Andrew, Ben, and Jordan were glued to the tv. I walked in the L.R. and they said, "We just LOVE watching T.V." Definitely friends for life. Their family is heading to Chile soon!

The Eckman twins were so cute too. I had a hard time telling them apart.

Passion Week Blog

HI everyone. Life here has been absolutely NUTS! The twins think they're ready to potty-train, so this adds a lot of trips to the bathroom :) Anyway, I just wanted to let you know of my brother's blog from his church for the Passion Week. Each day there is a new devotional and Scripture for our remembrance of the events of this week. Praise God, He is risen from the dead. Our kids are enjoying their Resurrection Eggs each day as well. Just go to: www.passionweek.blogspot.com for the daily readings! Happy Easter to you all.
