Whatever is good and perfect comes to us from God... James 1:17 :)

Last night, we were so thankful to be able to spend time with friends (who are more like family)... many we had not seen in quite a while and who don't live close by, to say the least, anymore. :) It was so refreshing to be around so many men and women of faith who have not only been such dear friends, but who the Lord has used to sharpen our lives in so many ways. I have been enjoying reading Acts and Phillipians a lot in the past few months, and it reminds me of the way believers in the Bible would be together and encourage each other so, and I feel very blessed.
I have been kicking myself today for not taking my camera last night and getting pictures of the sweet children who recently have come along, so I have found some before-baby photos of fun times from a while back (and I cannot believe I do not have a single digital picture of Lindy and not many of Todd)...

Us with Bret and Jayla; Snowshoeing with Seth, Kathryn, and Otis


An extra-handsome picture of Seth and Kathryn... this next one is much better :)

A windy Seth and Todd :); Happy to see Jayla :)
