Midnight & Sydney

Midnight, the cat, has decided that he wants to live in Barbieland. Lilah has a little Barbie house and whenever it is on the floor, he is lounging in it. Lilah gets annoyed that her Barbies have to walk around the cat.




The picture below is a rare shot of Sydney and Midnight relaxing together. Could it be possible that Sydney has finally calmed down in her old age?

Easter Time!

The kids had the chance to meet the Easter Bunny a couple weeks before Easter. The Easter egg hunt was, of course, inside this year. That didn't stop the kids from gathering eggs, playing games, and having fun.


This picture is from Easter morning. The Easter bunny brought Lilah some ears to wear during the day. She didn't get to wear them to church, but did sport the ears at grandma Barb's house later that day.


Lilah and Ellie spent the day chasing Tyler (Nicki's cousin who is 12) in their beutiful spring dresses. I think they both ended up with holes in their tights and Ellie ended up on the roof of the barn at one point of the day. They have such a great time together!

A New Home

THANK YOU again to everyone who has supported and prayed for us over the past several months. Your support has allowed us to begin putting our household back together.

It's been nearly two months since our last post, and now we finally have news good enough to share with everyone. We have a new house and will take possession on May 15th. We are SOOO excited! There is also other fabulous news that allowed us to make the decision to buy a home in Roland - I accepted a school psychologist position with Heartland AEA 11 beginning in August. Finally I will have a regular salary again! This will be my internship year and I still have a BIG project left to finish before I am awarded the degree of PhD, but most of the major hurdles are behind me. Below are a few pictures of the house - we will get better pictures posted once we move. We have several projects in mind for this place and maybe we will even stay for a few years :).
