Celebrate Freedom!

My Cousin and I

When my cousin Lauren came from the Twin Cities for a visit a couple months ago, we were looking at an old piture of ourselves and realized we had BOTH kept the same shirts since then, and Lauren had brought hers with! So we just had to take another picture! :-)

Love you Lauren - can't wait to see you again this fall!!

Thanks to Paul and Maria for these photos!! And thank you to the S. family for allowing me to teach in their home (just look at the picture above - things never go crazy with their family!!)!! :-)

I don't have time to write much with all we have going on here, but I wanted to share a few more pictures of Caleb's return home!

Please head over to my brother Caleb's blog and read the latest post I put up for him about the death of one of the guys who had been in his basic training unit. Also, your prayers would be appreciated for Caleb's safety as he comes home in 10 days! Thank you!
