Our Good ol' Friends

Thanks Jared, Michelle, and Jayden for coming for a visit. You are the best friends.
We first met in Everett, WA. Jared and Michelle were hosting a young marrieds small group at their home. We clicked with them instantly, like we had known them for years. Now we are in Clovis, and they are in LA, so we get to connect in person several times a year.
This photo was taken when Gabe was only a few months old. Now they have their own boy.
What great and true friends...very hard to come by these days.

Why do they have to grow up?

Tanner and I looked at a picture of our little man, and had a sad moment. How could this be, we thought. I could see the tears welling up in Tanner's eyes. When did our baby boy grow up? He came into this World at six pounds; so helpless and tiny. Now he's so independent, sassy, and strong. It's great to watch our kids grow and at the same time it gets you deep down at the core of your heart and makes you sad that they are not the little baby they once were.
We love you, Gabe. We are so proud of who you are at the ripe old age of three. Just don't grow anymore!

Welcome to our World

I am happy to announce the blogging has begun. For months now, I have felt a need to journal and record little everyday tidbits of our World. Mostly for our children to read when they are older and laugh at things we did. These will be stories we forgot about, little mundane things that we laughed about and thoughts about watching us grow.
