My brother and sis in law hosted us…all 10 of us while we passed through Austin coming back from the coast. They also kept our 3 littlest babies while we were down there while my mom took Ephraim and Esther. Divide and conquer. Huge thanks to all of them!

It warms my heart to see my babies with my brothers’ babies! I’m so glad they got to spend time with their cousins in Texas. Lily, Clara and Gerhardt spent a week in Austin and two weeks in the Fort Worth area before we came down to join them. It looks like they had a great time!

Well we are finally in and pretty well settled into the parsonage! After two weeks of unpacking it feels good to look around and feel like this is becoming home. So come on in and take a peak!

For my niece Elle (pronounced Ellie for those of you who wouldn’t know that) on her birthday.
My dear Elisabeth Noel,
Today you are Sixteen! You know it always seems impossible to us oldies that you babies grow up and how quickly that happens.
Sixteen years ago I was a student at the University of Texas working in the basement of the Main Building scanning paperwork for the Graduate Studies Department and waiting. Waiting for the HUGE news that you had been born.
Your dad had given his pager (yes, this was the dark ages) to me so he could let me know as soon as you entered the world.
