Be Strong and Courageous

So last night I went and registered Emma for Ballet, I am very excited for her to enter the world of dance. I danced from Kindergarten until 8th grade and love it; tap was my favorite. I think it was the noise factor. Andrew will have soccer starting the 2nd week of September, after taking last year off I know that he is very excited to get back out on the feild. Addysen and I will have MOPS (Mother's of Preschoolers) 2 times a month, and BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) every Thursday morning. Of course there is always our commitments to church with Women's ministry and Youth Group stuff, Keith is involved with the Grounds maintance program, and soon enough the kids will start rehersal for the Chritmas program again. Wait a minute did I just say Christmas, WOW!

This is picture of the kids with cousin Donovan. Andrew is 11 1/2, Emma 9 1/2 , Addysen 30 months and Donovan 18 months (yes he is a whole year younger than Addysen). What a blessing to be caught in the cooling trend here in Central Washington. We have had our share of 100 degree days but as of this week it has cooled tremendiously and we have been able to be out side most of the day with out complaint. it may even rain here this weekend. With so many friends and family in the South we have keeping our eye on the flooding and excessive high temps in the last few weeks. And of course our thoughts and prayers are with our men and women who are serving overseas in blistering temps under very dangerous terms. We pray that all come home safely and that their families are doing fine. The kids are getting ready to go back to school in just over 2 weeks and no one is more excited than I - LOL! School will of course bring back soccer practices for Andrew this fall and Ballet for Emma, she...

Welcome to my first Blog, I have decided to join the revolution. With so many of our friends in far away places I thought it would be nice to share our lives with you in a more regular way. Who knows Maybe some of you will do the same and we will reconnect old bonds and form new connections. Since I love to photograph our life it seems like and easy way to share them with you and give a few details as well. Our hope is that all are well, God bless - Love Nicole and family
