1st lost tooth and more...

Andrew's tooth has been loose for a week...

So...I convinced him to let me gently "yank" it out :) He was so proud
Although he's lost the baggie it was in, we told him we'll call the tooth fairy and she'd
probably still give him $1. He told me his friend Cotter got $10 for his 1st lost tooth.
I'll have to call Cotter's tooth fairy...hmmm

Levi James is 6.5 weeks old already. Can't believe it.
He loves his crib and Andrew loves having his brother
in his room now. This wonderful blanket was made for Levi by my cousin Amy.
She's so good to me and always makes my kids their first blankets. She uses the yarn that my grandma used in all our blankets. I tell Amy she's the "big sister" I never had. She's so giving and I praise God for her! Levi loves his blankey. THANK YOU AMY!!

The other blanket is from the Gringes. They are missionaries to the Congo and she mailed it to me. It's a great reminder to pray for them regularly!!

Chloe may be a little taller than Eden...

I got to go to Green Bay with Trisha for a whole day to celebrate my bday. We went to 5 thrift shops and out for Sushi. For supper, we enjoyed Chili's and some free ice-cream for my bday. Levi looks thrilled to have been shopping and eating all day!

Emma's Baptism

Emma gave her testimony of accepting Christ as her Savior in front of the people of our church. We met at a nearby lake for a picnic after church and then the baptism followed. She told us that she wanted to be baptized to show others that she wanted to follow Christ.


The dads in our church get to baptize their children.
This was a privilege for Brent !!


Our Pastor baptized his daughter Karis.

Such a special memory for the girls together.

Olivia, Emma's friend from school came and brought her a towel with her baptism date embroidered on it.

Mama and Pops came from PA to meet Levi the same day as the baptism

Ashley and my whole family came too. What a great day. We told Emma that's all we pray for our kids, that they know Christ as their Savior and follow Him with their lives. It was a special day and we are so grateful to God for working in her life.
