Three months old

Here we are at three months old already! The boys are growing and changing all the time... They are now talking and laughing up a storm and like to be awake and play after they eat. They have found their fists and love to suck on them - sometimes at the expense of their bottle! They are working at lifting their heads up off the floor and they even roll over from their stomachs to their backs from time to time. It continues to be tons of fun to watch them. We are looking forward to getting into our new home soon so we can all be together again! In the meantime, we're having a great time in St. Louis hanging out with my family.

The Fabulous Five

We have shared a special bond with the Ballards because of Russell and Jeff's seminary experience, Alison and Kristen's work together in the physical therapy department at Lake Forest Hospital, and of course the unique journey of a pregnancy with multiples. Of course we couldn't leave Chicago without a trip to meet Benjamin, Luke, and Abigail and see their parents one last time! It was hard for Russell and I to believe that our boys were that small when they came home from the hospital! How time does fly... Here are some pictures of all FIVE kids...

A Night of Goodbyes

For those of you who may not know, we have recieved a call to serve in a church in Manhattan, Kansas. We are so excited to see what God has in store for us there! A couple of nights before we left Chicago, many of our friends and family came to visit and say a final goodbye. We had a blast! (14 kids age 5 and under sure makes things interesting!) Thanks to everyone for all your prayers and support during our time in Chicago. It has really meant a lot to us. We look forward to hearing how God continues to work in your life in the coming years.
