Pictures!

Here's a picture of Tessa and friends KC, Tyler, Jackson and Carter all playing at the Shogren's. We had a lovely BBQ with our friends on Saturday night, and agreed that, indeed, all of our children are gorgeous. :-) We also had a good laugh that it seems like only yesterday we were all living the single life, or life as couples but without children....and now look at these FIVE growing children that we have between the three families! My have times changed. :-)


And here is a picture of Tessa holding her littlest cousin, Joshua, while we were visiting Mike & Krystal this weekend. Joshua is a little sweetheart - we can't wait to get to know who he is, what he likes and dislikes, and how he likes to do things. Right now, though, he's just the sweetest little guy!


And finally, here is a picture of Caleb & Tessa riding on Ike (Mike & Krystal's dog). Ike has the patience of a saint...and the cousins had SO much fun playing together and with the dogs when we visited with them on Sunday evening. Tessa talks nonstop these days about "when we get Shep" and she has all kinds of grand plans for him. Shep is scheduled to appear some time this spring when I'm done with the most evil parts of my treatment plan, and I can't wait to have a puppy in the house. Tessa, however, is even more excited than I am! (Ryan is resigned to this idea, but I know he's excited too...and he will adore Shep, as well.)

Love,
Kristina
