Happy Birthday, Grace!
Grace turned 2 on June 24. Here she is enjoying her birthday cupcake!
With her birthday now a couple weeks behind us, we are already noticing signs of her being an official 2-year-old! But beyond the mischeivousness and tantrums, we see a really wonderful little girl. One of her most noticeable characteristics is her incredible love of serving. With pep in her step, she is always running around to bring the rest of us our shoes or the telephone (when it's ringing) or whatever she thinks we might need. She brings us a LOT of joy, and we look forward to the day when she knows the One who created her and gave her that special servant's heart.

July 4th Cuties

Exuberance
We had a wonderful 4th of July celebration at Janelle's parents' home with lots of extended family in town. A highlight for the kids was playing in the water, thanks to a sprinkler toy that brother Dave brought. Grace and Chloe, in particular, reveled in the water play! Seeing a picture like this just makes life better, doesn't it?!

Bright Eyes
Before delivering the baby, the doctor ordered a sonogram to check her position. There on the screen was a cute little face and two wide-open eyes staring at us. Very cute, but that also revealed that she was "sunny side up" -- not how Janelle wanted to deliver this big girl! But from the moment she arrived, she's been very alert and flashing her bright eyes.

The first bath. Won't be long before she's fighting to be in the tub splashing around with her three big sisters!

The proud Dad finally gets to hold his precious girl! Brooke came into the world with a small crop of blonde hair and looking very much like her oldest sister, Ellie.
