Having a kid in college makes the holiday EXTRA special!

Love, love that moment when Luke walks in the door. He couldn't be happier at Tech, but I love that he also loves to come home.

Anmer turns 17 :)

Anmer had a wonderful birthday celebration.  She and Andrew had a shared party the week before her birthday (posted on old blog).  We all really enjoyed the visits from Elaine and Lainie!!
The evening of the 8th, there was a dance party with the teen homeschool group, and she REALLY enjoyed dancing and visiting with her friends.  I enjoyed spending the evening with mom as we ate and watched the kids dance.  Anmer is a true delight and blessing to our family!

Mallory's 16th Birthday

Thanks, Julie!  I wasn't able to get on the old blog to post this, so thanks for starting a new one.  

Mal's 16 roses from her daddy.

 A major part of the party was playing Ultimate Frisbee on the field.  It had rained a few days before, and the field was quite wet.  Tim and Mason worked very hard getting it ready.  Their work included spreading 600 pounds of sand!

 We had about 35 people over for a fun outside party.

Ready to see Luke!

Can't wait to see this kid!
