Gymnastics!

Let me start by saying that our home PC is on its last leg, guys. It is currently making noises as if it may wind up and fly away...This is my excuse for not posting updates. We don't have the wonderful photo editing capabilities we once had or the patience to wait an hour and a half to upload pictures.
With that said, these photos aren't beautifully altered as some have been in the past but BOY, DOES THIS GIRL LOVE GYMNASTICS! You may notice her excitement. She can barely pay attention to sweet Ms. Karen or contain her excitement long enough to follow her instructions, let alone do them correctly or not completely jump in front of the girl waiting patiently in line to go next. It is perfect.

What did we do for two weeks in South Carolina?

Spring on Locust Hill!

What beautiful things are popping up on Locust Hill this spring.

Aneliese turns 3!

First, I want to start by saying that I am sure everyone is wondering where the pictures are from Collin's 7th birthday party. Well, we realized much too late that the memory card was left out of the camera while the party was-a-goin-on. :( Sorry, Buddy. Mommy and Daddy feel terrible about that!
We live and learn from our mistakes so I checked a hundred times today to make sure the memory card was in and what do you know...

The house is coming together!

We are so fortunate to have received some pieces from Oma and Papa's loving home. I believe that objects have and create emotional bonds. I strive to encorporate this idea in creating our new home. The new items are the coffee and end tables, the book shelf, and Papa's 3-dimensional topographic maps. Here are some new pictures of our living room as it evolves.
