An Eppdate

Lydia, now 9…
You got game? She’s a geography wiz!
Digging deeper into piano lessons—
Ice skating too (her new sport of choice), while the saddle takes a rest.
Acting as Mrs. Beaver in Narnia and one of The Three Trees in Easter play…

“Abby, get down!” …she’s 2, and she’s finally ours!
Believe it, she’s speaking in deliberate, annunciated sentences—
Bounding, twirling, as she learns with Elmo and Caillou.
Yikes! She’s climbing something again!

Gabriel, 22 months, turns two in April.
A gatherer of small things, he’s tender of heart.
Bruises come often as he tries Abby’s stunts.
Easy going, cute smile, hearty laugh: a real “guapo”!

Katie—
A devoted mother and genuine friend;
Two toddlers keep her on her toes.
Investing in our children, she’s a home school mom who…
Enjoys photography and scrapbooking to capture our family’s memories.

Chris—
Home is where his heart is.
Reading books like “Sex God” by Rob Bell—check it out!
Initiating, instigating, involved;
Sharing with staff, students and youth as he works on for EMM.org.

Dogs…
Our new pup is Puddles, a beagle with lots to learn.
Gretchen, our faithful, now almost 13 years old.
“Stop chewing on that, Puddles!”
