Emily's reading nook

Emily... the girl who won't play, read, color anything by herself without you by her side, wants to be in the backyard alone, or "only with Bo". The big dilemma is she can open the door by herself and she doesn't announce/ask that she is heading outside!

VEISHEA weekend

We had a wonderful weekend, had great friends stay with us, and hosted many more for a BBQ Sat. night. Robert marched with Alumni Groove. You can find pictures of him on almost every media outlet in Iowa, he was also interviewed for the TV broadcast of the parade! We also were able to attend our dear friends son's baptism.

I think I will just let the pictures do the talking.

Easter

Thanks to everyone who sent Easter stuff and other surprises for the kiddos. We had a nice day. We got up and went to the Sonrise service (6:30 am) for the traditional music, it was so nice, although I wish our church had an organ! The night before we went to an Easter Egg hunt sponsored by our church. It was really nice (we forgot our camera), but Em won a prize, a new Bible!

Although we forgot to get a family pic, here are some little bunnies I caught around the house.

Our church is hosting a Town Hall For Hope, please look up your zip code and attend or watch online or on TV. I think this will be an awesome opportunity for many get HOPE and become inspired. Consider this your personal invitation from me. I might even bring cookies!




For my family I counted over 80 church is Iowa alone, two in my home town, how exciting!

"Visions" of true love

A couple people have already commented, but yes that is a picture of us in the most recent issue of Visions, an ISU Alumni magazine. The feature is about love birds that fell in love at ISU. Our picture is on the page featuring a lot of couples on their wedding day under the Campanile. Our picture was not of our wedding day, but of our engagement. It just happened to be captured by an Iowa State Daily reporter and was run in the paper the very next day (I didn't have to tell any of my friends about Robert's proposal!) Robert took several newspapers back to Connecticut with him and he successfully used one to get out of a ticket on the drive home, I guess the trooper was a sucker for love stories.

He was wearing a suit, I was fresh from a study session for a presentation I had the next day so I kind of look like a slob in sandals, jeans and a t-shirt.
