More Summer Photos

Here are the pictures from Grandma Diana's and Uncle Josh's weddings that I wasn't able to post earlier. It is my crazy ambition to post pictures of all the places we visited and all the family members William met this summer. It will take some time (there were quite a few) so stay tuned.

Home Sweet Home

There's no place like home! After what we like to call "40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness," we are finally settled in our new home in Fairbury, IL. It was quite the summer! Let's see...a baptism, an ordination, two weddings, and oh yeah, being homeless for a month and a half with an infant! We are SO happy to be here, even if it is a little hard to believe that we are not going to be returning to Dubuque and all of our friends there. Change is difficult but we are adjusting slowly but surely. Fortunately Spencer & I are both so happy and grateful to FINALLY be doing what God has called us to do. Spencer is absolutely loving ministry and I am really enjoying taking care of my family full time.

William is growing so fast. The little bugger is teething! He is just the light of our lives, even when he is cranky.

These are pictures of our new home and some highlights of the summer: Spencer's ordination, William's baptism, Josh and Diana's weddings and William being cute of course : )
