How Many Cans

So this is a record in quick posts, so everyone can rest at ease. Which makes me think, can you rest at anxiety? I would think that its a given that if you are at rest, you would then be at ease?

Anyway, Luke and Julie came into town this weekend and we had an opportunity to take the entire clan (Micah, Chole, Jude, Noah, Levi) to a local orchard.


Here is the whole crew of us (minus Jude who was sleeping at the time, I think we left him in the Ida Red section of the orchard). Looking at this picture it is hard to fathom that we have gotten to this point in life. This morning in chruch Luke and I were talking about the free and "easy" days of gathering together at thier house on Newburg at 11pm to drink coffee until about 2am or so. Now, dirty diapers, day trips to orchards, discussions regarding our children's apperant bent to frustrated us in ways never thought possible. For crap sake, we both own mini-vans. How far we have come. We will catch up with a third child someday...hey maybe we should visit St. Louis again so we can take Interstate 55. (ha, ha)

Chole, Levi, Micah, Noah the future of America

This is Chole and Levi after being caught kissing under an apple tree.

Here are the two oldest boys. Micah looks as if he is being forced to enjoy his time with Noah while Noah looks thrilled to spend time with someone other than Levi.

Julie and Emilie

Finally, the two that are important...well you can't see them behind Luke and Joe, sorry

A little housekeeping
I added a link to Noah's school along with a link to Luke and Julie's blog (mostly Julie's) and a link to a dear friend of our's blog. Her name is Michele and she truely is one of the most talented persons we have ever met, not too mention pretty cool! Please check out her blog, it is what this blog dreams of looking like.
