Hmmm...... Hello. Have you missed me (us)? Looking back over the year and a half that I haven't posted, I realize that we've had some big life changes. I'll try to keep this short & simple and see if I can remember anything.

- Cris lost his job with Fleetguard / Cummins

- Cris & I were both baptized

- I left / was let go from my job & happily became a stay-at-home mom again

- Tyler, Zech & Kyla made it through another school year ( well 2)

- Tyler got his driver's license & a new (to him) truck

- Cris is now an employee of the YMCA as their youth sports coordinator. Very cool job that is nothing like what he was doing, but he loves it.

- Emma had strep throat for a solid 7 - 8 weeks but is now all better (thank God!)

- She starts kindergarten in the fall & is sooooooo excited

- Zech leaves Thursday for a mission trip to the Dominican Republic with his church

- Kyla has become an avid reader - to the point that we can't keep the poor girl in books

We've had lots of changes - mostly good - and have spent the better part of the last year learning how to step out on faith. It is certainly a work in progress but I feel like our faith grows stronger every day.

Hope that everyone is well and having an awesome summer. My plan is to get better about making posts (& not waiting for 1 1/2 years to post again - haha).

I'm toying with the idea of starting a blog just for me. Keep this one for all of the family news & start one that I can use for ideas, random thoughts and such. Something to think about....
