Hi Girls! I can't tell you how excited I was to get on the blog today and see all these new posts!! Yeah!! It seems I'm not the only one who has been bitten by the blogging bug. I'm afraid I"m a bit of an adict. I have about 4 different blogs that I visit almost every day. It's pathetic really.
Tonight Matt and I babysat Andy and Marie's kids while they went on a date. It was fun. The kids were all great and Josh is always so happy to be at his cousin's house playing. The depressing part of the evening was looking at Marie's pictures from Hoffmann vacation and seeing what a fatso I am!!! AHHHH!!! It is truly depressing to realize that you really look as bad as you feel! I just have to keep telling myself that I will not look this bad after a while and it is worth it to have a little baby! But for now, it's not so fun to look like a barrel with arms, legs, and a round face!
Some good news from our family is that Josh has finally started to eat more foods. For those of you who didn't know, he basically has been living on yogurt, cereal bars, frozen peas, and bread and crackers. Not a great diet! So finally we discovered (after lots of prayer) that he probably doesn't need to be drinking so much milk. So we give him water most of the day and now he's hungry enough that he's been eating all kinds of new things this week! WE are so excited!
But I don't want to bore you all with news about my kids...this is probably only stuff Mom and I really care about! :) Don't worry, I won't ever go into information regarding what happens when he goes potty!
Well, it sounds like everybody is having pretty eventful lives. When does Seth leave for Mexico Aunt Barb? Are you dreading it? When do you move to Purdue Lizzie?
"When will you stop this boring rambling Rebekah?" ...okay, I'll stop!
Love you guys,
Rebekah

I've finally discovered this!
Hello, girls! This is so fun! It took me a little while to figure it all out, but here I am! Well, I had my "kick-off" party last night! (YIKES!) I'm a little nervous now that i'm on my own, but I got 4 parties booked last night to help me "practice". We'll see what happens!
This is such a great Idea, Rebekah! I didn't even know it was available~I accidentally created a new blog, while trying to enter a post! =0 oops! And now I can't figure out how to delete it. Oh well, leave it to me. Well, I hope you each have a Joy filled weekend! I do have a prayer request...my Dad just started his second round of Chemo treatments this week, so if you could please remember him in prayer, I would greatly appreciate it! He has 12 treatments, 1 every other week, so it'll be a challenging journey for him.
Love to you all!
Kristy

Keep those letters coming!
Hi, everyone! I'm enjoying reading everyone's thoughts and stories. Bekah, I think i would have dropped that beagle off in the desert! Oh well, it makes a great story to tell your grandkids!
Kristy, you are now having tubberware parties? Do you still give away free tubberware gadgets to everyone that comes to the party? I remember going with mom to a party and getting to pick something out of a large tubberware container. That was such a thrill. I haven't been to a party for a while. In Bluffton they have a bridle registry...which is a great idea!
We are looking forward to having Bekah spend the weekend and hopefullly have Tim and Christa come down for supper on sunday (if they get my message on their answering machine!!).
Just heard Clark's weekend is going to be Oct 8-9. We are excited for him and for us to get to come out! It works out great for us since it is the Hoffmann -Walder Reunion.
We are heading to ILL Thursday for Gramm House. Hopefully we will see Clint's and also the new twins. Did you all hear Lon and Sarah Vogt are expecting inFeb.
I'm just blabbing so I'll sign off.
Keep the Faith,
Barb

I'm Safely Home
Thanks everyone for your prayers for my drip. Yes Amy and I made it safely to LA and home with now accidents or problems. Driving through the dessert is something I've never done before...and in it's own way is very beautiful. I mean, from in side the car (outside was 117 degrees!). LA was beautiful and cool (60s at night) and a nice reprieve from this summer heat. As much as I love to travel it's always nice to be home again.
For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about: I flew out to Las Vegas to help my friend Amy move her furniture from LA to Vegas. So we were going to take a Uhaul, but I convinced her that she didn't need her couch (she has nowhere to put it and it's really old) so we decided to take her friends SUV, giving us a place to put her two dogs (yes two) while we travel. Allie is a beagle and Febee is a poodle. Trip out was uneventful. Well, let's say once we were there it was interesting trying to fit all her furniture in the SUV....and there really wasn't room for the dogs in the back...so driving through LA traffic I was the lucky one with two dogs on my lap! We decided (or maybe it was me) that this wouldn't work for a 4 hour drive home. So we found a small (1ftx1ft) area for Febee to lay in the back. So I just had the big beagle...which was fine and dandy until she started going to the bathroom on me! UGH...and of course in the middle of the desert there's no where to stop. So Allie was crammed on the floor at my feet and we had to travle like 20 miles to the next exit, where I changed my shorts and decided I can handle the SUV through the desert. So that was our fun adventure of a trip. Luv you all tons!

testing! testing!
Hey do you think I can really figure this out?
I'm anxious to hear and maybe even see how Leah's perm turns out. Send us pictures, Leah.
We will be heading to Seattle tomorrow so I wont be able to check this again for a while. Uncle Denny has business out there next week and I'm tagging along. We plan to visit Mt. Rainier National Park. We are really looking forward to some time together.
Kristy I hope your Tupperware party goes well tonight. You will make a great demonstrator. I wish you well.
Christa, I hope you can read the blog. We miss you.
Chelby, you need to keep us up to date with new pictures of Chase. Your Mom says he has really grown and sleeps through the night already. Wow! That is great.
Sarah have you been doing any more painting? You should make a career out of your talent.
Jami, do you have any pictures of your twin nephews. We would all love to see them.
