Picture time

For those of you who don't know already. My family came up to visit us in Deeeetroit! It was fun adventuresome weekend. The family came up in a camper to keep the kids entertained for the 7 hour trip. We had a birthday party for Joe at my apartment then traveled up north to an indoor waterpark/hotel. It was an fun filled weekend and thought I'd share a few pictures from the weekend.
And a small prayer request. I leave next Tuesday for my conference in Boston. I've never been away from my husband for more that 2 days...so it's gonna be a little hard to be apart for 5 days...and pray that the girls I'm with don't want to party at night but that we can experience Boston and have fun touring as well as learning a lot at the conference. Thanks! Love you all

Come on, girls!

Good BEAUTIFUL Thursday morning to you! How is everyone doing?? Now i know we all could think of SOMETHING to say...can't we?? Or are we all outside from dawn till dusk enjoying this beautiful weather?!?

Well, I've got a couple prayer requests for you all. First, my Dad and brother are in Mexico this week at Magdalena! But we heard 16 in the group are VERY sick! Mom's worried about Dad, and not being able to have contact is hard on her. He's been very week for so long she's hoping he's not 1 of them!! But just pray for the group!

The other one is Lisa Gerber. She and Byron lost their little Micah last fall, and now she is in the hospital with leukemia!! PLEASE pray for her and Byron through this! It's difficult not to question 'why her??' But God has His hand on this, and she has an amazing attitude right now...she told me "either way, I'll win!" If i can't fight this, i'll be with Christ and Micah...but if I do I'm here with my family and friends! They have a very possitive outlook for her, so that's encouraging. But please lift them up in prayer - she'll be getting chemo treatments for the next 3 weeks and they're keeping her in the hospital the whole time. The risk for infection is so great.

Sorry for the depressing post, but we need to pray for one another!
Love ya! Kristy

Not much to say....

Yeah....thought I'd post something, but I'm really not sure what...hee hee, my life's not that exciting! But here we go: Aaron and I had a great discovery (ok so he actually discovered it) the other day. About a mile from our house is the old Ford homestead. They have 300 acres of land which they've now donated to the public/UofM Dearborn as a nature area. It has tons of trails, and none of the those "please stay on path" and no "don't pick the flowers" signs...we're really free to explore. It has a lake, river, streams, swamp, old rose gardens and awesome open fields that would be great for ultimate frisbee! Speaking of frisbee I just bought a new one...what is it with buying something new, it's just so exciting for some reason. Anyways, thanks to everyone for putting pictures on the blog from the weekend. We've really enjoyed them. Are pictures are pretty much the same thing as all of yours, so we didn't post them...but thanks for putting yours up! And Kristy, your little Abbi girl is adorable! Love you all and miss you tons!

Abbi's 1 year pic's

Good morning, everyone! Wow, this blog is turning into the picture blog. :) But I love pic's, so I hope you guys don't mind that i keep posting them. Hope you are all doing well - safe after those storms!! We were at Communion Sunday night, and we had to go to the basement! It looked aweful outside, and a large tree was uprooted out in the cemetary!! A friend of mine, who's an EMT and was upstairs through it said the doors were blowing open and slamming! So scarry. But praise God we were all safe. I felt so bad for some of the parents who were really upset and crying since their children were home alone, if they had older ones to watch them! The fire dept wouldn't let anyone leave. Some did anyway, but it was so bad out!! When we walked out to go down to the basement it felt like we were in the middle of a tornado - the trees were blowing almost sideways. The only damage around here was a large shed about 2 mi from the church lost most of it's roof. But that's all i've heard of so far! What a powerful God we serve!!

My dad and brother are heading to Magdalena this weekend!! I was hoping to send something with them for Seth...do any of you have an idea?? Something small, but Barb - is there anything he needs or would love to eat/have/read??? Well, I'd better keep going! I think it's time for some more questions, Rebekah! Get some conversation going again!

Love you all! Here's my abbi girl!
