What a fun night!!!  Free, fabulous food, friends, fellowship…and no kids!!!  We left our kids with friends in the care of two High School girls and had such a great night with the faculty and families of IA.  I am so thankful to be apart of such a fun school!!!

12 years!!!  Keith and I walked the isle, said, “I do!” and were completely clueless!!!  We had no idea the adventures, trails and joy that lied ahead.  2 additions, many moves, changes~one thing that has stayed constant…I am so thankful that I said, “I do!”

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KEITH!!!

ESTONIA!

We spent the long weekend in Narva relaxing, playing, feasting, laughing…

Even crossing the boarder with missing documents and being question whether or not Gideon was truly our son was not a problem!!!
