Jennifer's Kayak Workout

On our recent vacation to Maine, Jennifer was a little concerned about missing her morning workouts.  Well,  the hiking, biking and kayaking seemed to do her just fine.  Check out those guns.

One of Will's first words was "TRACTOR".

We have pictures of him sitting on one before he was a year old.  Now he's convinced he is a professional driver.  He's actually pretty good at it.  Next summer I think we'll have him mowing the lawn.

Mother's Day Miracle

On a stormy Mother's Day, Jennifer was driving home from lunch with Will in the back seat when she stopped to get a branch out of the road. Before she got out of the car, a giant tree fell across the vehicle. The tree fell from left to right with the largest trunk impacting just behind the back seat. We are praising God that neither Will or Jennifer were injured at all. They remained in the car until the police arrived because there were electric lines down as well.

You can see there was damage to the entire vehicle. The driver's side where both Jennifer and Will were received the least damage. In fact, the driver's door was the only one that would open. The impact was so great that the rear axle and frame were bent so the wheels toe out.

Dennis was working Sunday afternoon but was home later that night.

Will really enjoyed his time in a police car as well as all the other emergency equipment and personnel that responded. Jennifer was shaken a bit by the event but she is fine and rejoicing in the goodness of God.

Jennifer's Performance

Jennifer performed this "Sign and interpretive movement" to the Casting Crowns song Praise you in the storm.  I wasn't smart enough to record the real performance in church, but I did manage to capture a practice session at home.  Poor quality, but here it is.  

Sound quality is poor so you may have to turn your volume up.

I'm not sure what words should go with this post.

Andy's Injury

Here's a better version of the video I posted on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUNFVOZN3cg



I know I should get more stuff about our family adventures posted here.

We thank God that Andy is recovering from this injury.

Will turned 2!

Yes I'm way too late on this post, but here it is.

He had a fun little party, loves all his toys, and is now well practiced and ready to open gifts at Christmas. Hopefully he will only open his own. There are probably a lot of better photos, but this is the one I picked.
