Cuteness

Our little "king of cuteness" went five hours between feedings last night! This means that I got four hours of uninterrupted sleep (which is so much better than two)! I felt like a new woman! I hope he can repeat the performance tonight...

We also want to wish our niece, Megan, a happy birthday today! As you can see from this picture, our kids love to be with Megan, and she always takes an interest in their little worlds. We love her for being such a kind, fun-loving, "adventurey" kind of gal. She's very cute, too, so I guess she fits into this post just fine. We hope her day is a special one!

Goodbye to Megan

We were up at Matt's folks' last weekend for a rondevouz (sp?) with our niece Megan who is soon heading to Montana to seek her fortune. (Megan is the oldest of 15 grandchildren on Matt's side. Our Erin is the youngest, with all the others pretty much evenly spread out between. It's awesome to have so many ages and stages in the same family!) Megan's moving out west to work at a place that runs dogsled tours, which is not your ordinary job, but very Megan. And how, you may ask, does one get into a job such as this? Megan has a degree in back-country horsemanship and is a recent graduate of an intensive course in photography...not to mention she has family ties in Montana (Matt's sister) with connections to the dogsled place. She is certainly in our prayers as she heads out. The Ohio part of the family will definitely miss her. Joe put it best when he said that his Montana cousins are the only ones happy that Megan is moving. We look forward to hearing more about the world of mushing, not to mention seeing how the Lord will direct this new stage of her life.

By the way, we made it back from our trip with everything that we took with us! High five!
