Hurricane Ike

We were effected by high winds from hurricane Ike.  We were without power for one week.
This is down our road, a street light blown over.

These trucks are parked here because there is a tree across the road preventing them from going any farther.

We had some of the crazy winds. Then the power went out on Sunday.  The college had power by Monday night, so we were able to eat meals in the dining hall.  We camped at out house for awhile and then eventually stayed with friends.  Our power returned Saturday night.

Baby Zeke

It's taken us a long time to finally post some pictures of Zeke and the fam. It is definitely much busier with 2 children. But, they are both well, cute, and fun! Ana continues to amaze us at her learning. She has also begun potty training! Here are some photos.

It has been beautiful around here. Here are a few pictures.

Spring has sprung

Ana and I have been spending more time outside since the weather has gotten a bit warmer. It is such fun to see her world expand as she learns about things like flowers, rocks, acorns, and ants. She has also learned that some rocks don’t taste so well. It is a wonderful experience to introduce her to things. She looks at things with caution until I let her know it is okay to touch it. She wouldn’t even step on a stick until I stepped on it. God’s world is so beautiful and intricate and I am so grateful I have Ana to remind me of that.

Happy Easter

We had a great Easter. Each year it means more and more to me. I love the sense of celebration. I think children capture it best. At church our pastor informed us he had heard that a father greeted his child in the morning with "He is risen". The child responded with "Yeah!!" So, our pastor had us respond that way in church. It was great! Also, I was told that my 4 year old niece when read the story of Jesus' death responded with "That's sad that he died, I like him." I think these children have capture the importance aspects of Easter. "He is risen. . .He is risen indeed (or Yeah!)"
