O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Psalm 8:1~4
Ev isn't feeling so well today...cuddle time with Daddy helps though. I need to apologize to my faithful followers of the blog for my lack of posts the last several days. Ev ran off with the camera and I couldn't find it for awhile :) Now that the camera is found you can expect the photo posts to resume ;)
We spent the morning at the Children's Museum. Evie loved making bubbles :)
Fun playing in the fake mud/rocks.
Aunt Bekah where do you want to go? Oh and the strange little girl who climbed into the backseat :)
The sand table was definitely Ev's favorite today. When I told her it was time to go she waved and said "bye bye" to the sand in a teary voice. Hey at least she cooperated :)
Tonight we went over to the Kamps to celebrate Liam's 2nd birthday! Liam is one of Evie's best friends; they had lots of fun playing in the sandbox. Evie wouldn't actually go into the sandbox...she liked to to just on the edge :)
We finally got a picture of our three babies (Elias Kamp-5 months, Sophie Minatelli-11 weeks, Judah Borg-6 weeks). Paige, Jackie and I were all pregnant the same time and now its fun that we all have our babies :)
Evie discovered that she LOVES watermelon. We kept hearing "more more more." I think she had about 5 slices...
Part of the crowd enjoying the nice evening weather.
Yep Ev was pretty much obsessed with the sandbox. Does it make me a bad Mom that I REALLY don't want one at our house???
Liam and Evelyn enjoyed being pulled around the backyard by the older kids. It was a fun night, thanks Bill and Paige for having us over!
Sears installed 3 replacement windows for us today; this one in the living room as well as the two in the dining room. It is so nice to have windows that can open (they were previously painted closed).
There is a new Fresh Market grocery store that just opened by Knapp's Corner in Grand Rapids. We went and checked it out today and they are having some great grand opening sales. We got fresh boneless skinless chicken breasts for $1.49 per lb! I just got done packaging them into portioned sized bags and stocking up our freezer. I ended up with 18 bags!! That will last awhile ;)
This little girl had a bath right after nap time and screamed through the whole thing...maybe her bath fears are returning, who knows. She she is currently recovering by laying on the couch with her blankies, Millie and juice :)
Happy Mother's Day! I am so thankful and honored to be Evelyn and Judah's Mom. They are such a blessing to me. I can't believe that Judah is one month old today!!
Kyle, Evie and Judah bought me the hanging flower pot in this picture for an early Mother's Day present. Evie picked it out; she liked the pink flowers :)
There are 23 bags of red mulch right there...Over the past 24 hours Kyle and I have had fun doing some landscaping of our front yard together. I wish we would have taken some before pictures; it resembled a jungle :)
Evie and I discovered a lilac bush in our yard today. One of our new favorite things to do lately is to walk around outside picking "flowers"...until now we just picked dandelions. Ahhh the lilacs are making our house smell so good; I think that May is one of my favorite months!
Hello everyone, welcome to our family blog! You can check in here for updates/photos of our little family. We currently live in Grand Rapids, MI where Kyle attends Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary. He is also doing full time pulpit supply through the spring of 2013 at First Reformed Presbyterian Church here in town. Rachel loves life as a homemaker! She has her hands full with Evelyn, Judah and Aletta. God has richly blessed our family and we pray that all that we say and do will be for His glory.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconcilingthe world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
