"Anybody Out There?"

Well, life has kept us from updating this site as much as we would like! If you're still out there, keeping up with us through cyberspace...we appreciate your patience! We have decided to award our committed few with many pictures and even a video or two! (If JL teaches me how to do that!!)

Silas is now much more of a handful...scooting so fast for the very thing that is NOT safe to play with that he keeps us on our toes. So far the laptop has sustained the most damage. The number 8 has been ripped off (who really uses the #8 anyway?!?!?), the memory card was vomited on, and the cord is in a continuous tug of war battle. Ahhh...the joys of parenting!

This weekend Silas took his first spiritual pilgrimage, his first boat ride and his first trip to Pittsburgh while helping to chaperone a Confirmation retreat. That makes Pennsylvania lucky number 17 for states Silas has visited!

Thanks for sticking with us and keeping up on all of the adventures God has led us on! We're happy to have you with us on the journey!

Pilgrimagging!

Here are a couple of our shots from Pittsburgh. We stayed with Uncle Doug and Aunt Kathy, attended their church, rode on the Gateway Clipper, saw the stadiums, had quiet time at a cathedral, and many more things that one never could believe would cram into two days time! So there was not a lot of sleep occurring...Who needs sleep?












DIVA!






Scooter!

Here are some pictures of our little "scooter"! He might not being making full use of his knees quite yet, but he is FAST!








Heidi's Birthday!

Here are some pictures on my 29th Birthday. No seriously, I really was 29!

Work-out!

>As a first born, Silas keeps a pretty regimented schedule. He eats every four, is down by 8:30 each night and up around the same time in the morning. But when he started his a.m. exercise routine, we were really impressed!

Silas allowed us a shot of his chin-ups, but that was all.

There has been some debate as to whether or not he looks more like Daddy or Papa. When in the same element as his Papa finds himself every morning, the similarities are clearly evident!
