Happy Birthday to our buddy - Josiah!

Today was Josiah's Birthday Observed.

And here he is doing one of his very favorite things - traveling!



We love you, buddy!

Summertime...

Just some pictures of what we've been up to over the summer... It's hard to believe that August is almost over!

Visiting Grandma in Florida - waaaay back in June.



It's been a delightfully warm summer this year (last summer was SO cold!), and so the pool has been in much use this season!


I (Jessica) got to spend nearly two weeks of July out in Washington state for a friend's wedding. It was an absolutely wonderful time - both exhausting and refreshing, but completely delightful to spend time with friends who are like family as we prepared for, enjoyed, and rested after the wedding!! More wedding photos can be found here.

During June and July various ones of us also traveled to Ohio, Texas, Kansas, Idaho, Arizona... and I think that was it. A bit here and there, but not untypical for summer! Most of the travel was related to conferences and Resounding Voice.

For most of July our camera was AWOL - but it returned in time for "The Big Game" last Saturday!

Our church's team won and Jeremy, Josh and Joseph were all candidates for the team MVP award (which ultimately fell to Jeremy's lot - for the second year in a row!).

The game was great, but we also had a bunch of fun visiting with friends from church... and old friends that go "way back" who came into town for the weekend!

Not only was there softball to watch but the cutest collection of kiddos were present, as well!



For those interested in more pictures from the Big Softball Game you can visit Wendy's Blog and the Yen's Blog - yes, they have Cute Kiddo photos, too, but they also managed to document the game itself more than we did!


We have also been busy this summer getting our house ready for Grandpa and Grandma Erber to move in with us. We're getting close to moving time! It will be a big change for us and for them to have them here, but we look forward to what God has for us in this new season of life!

And He's Off!

This morning Jonathan left for Idaho.

Jonathan and Joseph replaced the brakes on his car last night. It was very hot outside, swarms of mosquitoes were biting, but they got it done.


Some greasy guys getting the the car ready to go :-)


This morning we had to say our sad goodbyes. Some of us won't see him again until after Christmas.



Please pray for Jonathan, he's got a long, lonely drive ahead.



Drive safe! We'll miss you!

Hi there!

We'll be updating soon! Hope you all are doing well!
