Recent Project and trip to beach

After 3 weekends, 2 trips to lumber yard, 1 trip to Ace Hardware, 2 trips to Mayo's (neighborhood hardware), two deliveries of rock and topsoil, and borrowed tools from 2 neighbors we have our raised bed vegetable and herb gardens completed and seeded!!!

Thad: See I can throw it up...and away from you...nice....

Hans: Awe, defeated again, but a day of reckoning is coming...

Thad: A finish kick to be sure it is out of reach...

Hans: Nice kick, but I don't think you accomplished much...

Thad: (crying)...daddy the ball went in the water and now is wet and dirty...save me in my distress...

Celebrating Johannes @ One!

Johannes

b. 3/16/2010

The ever smiling, affectionate one in our family has turned one this week.

Johannes you give us so much joy.

Thank you Jesus for giving us a child with a contagious laugh; a cuddler that warms the soul and shares with us the feeling of being embraced by our heavenly Father.

We are sand people now
