Christmas in the New Year

 Christmas got postponed because we all took turns getting sick!  We're finally all on the mend and got to spend some time together today.  It was a good Sunday!  And in the next couple weeks, their birthdays 💗

July Happenings

Jennifer and Isaac came to visit in July, it was great to have them with us.  Rachel took this sweet picture, we should have taken another one with her in it too. 

Kyle loves to play chess.

At the ballgame.

This trip to the ballgame was bittersweet for sure.  July 31st would have been Judson and Rachel's 15th wedding anniversary.  Last year Judson took us all to the ballpark as a father's day gift to Mark. We had a wonderful time together this year, but we all missed Judson so much.  We're making it through day by day by remembering the happy times we had and making new memories together.

Jennifer and Isaac made it back to California.  This Thanksgiving is bringing a new baby to love.

July report

 If you click on the picture, you might see Skye and Mark walking over on the other side of the pond.  Our new Canada Garden is still waiting for a fence, so we walk the park several times a day.

 We went to St Louis and Mark got fitted for a backpack!  I'm excited for him to get to hike the Appalachian Trail. 

Rachel and our Betsy girl.  Love love

 And more beautiful wedding pictures

Family Visit

 We had a fun visit the JD and Rachel & the kids earlier in the month.  It was great having them

This picture is a little misleading because Kyle is pretty much as tall as V too.  We're so glad he doesn't seem to mind having his picture taken now :)

And Rachel sent this photo the other day as they were getting ready to go to church.  Our Betsy is growing up into a young lady.  And we're going to get to see them again soon!

Our Two Favorite Girls

Happy Anniversary

This is Judson and Rachel's first wedding anniversary. They were here a couple of weeks ago. It was so good to see them! We are very proud of them. They're going to school and working and building a life for themselves. Of course, we miss them something awful. We're hoping to make a trip to Lexington soon to see them. Love you both!
