One happy boy.













"Oh man, I missed!"




This is our first blog attempt. We posted some pictures to bring everyone up to speed as to where we are now. We sold our first home this past July and finally found a house that we will hopefully close on in December. Which means we should be in our new house by Christmas or New Years.

This is cutting it close because as many of you know we are expecting our second boy around January 31st. We are going to name him Eli however we are still working on his middle name. We had our first ultra sound done in September and found out that Eli has a deformity called Anencephaly. Due to this deformity he will pass away shortly after birth. This has been a very bitter sweet time for us as we prepare for his short visit. Knowing of Eli's diagnosis has given us the chance to treasure our time with him during this pregnancy. We are so grateful for the knowledge that our family is eternal and honored to have him in it.

We are so grateful for so many of you who have supported and prayed for us during this time. We will try to keep up on this blog, and would love to hear from family and friends and how you are doing.

Koen officially turned two


Koen and his cousin Dallas have proven to us that they are in their adventurous and dangerous twos by sneaking off and filling a bathtub with water and themselves.

Halloween

Lana and Koen had a very fun Halloween. Koen loves superman right now to the point where if he has a superman shirt on he will not let you take it off for days. Lana chose to be Cinderella and loves to dress up whenever she can.

Good times!


It was a perfect day to fly our kite. We had a blast!
Hold your hand? No way Jose.
Hello Ladies, welcome to my blogspot.


"This is how it's really done dad."



Koen and Elliott went fishing on their way home from father and sons campout.
Supergirl!!!
Sorry no Superboy, he just gave himself a concussion by tripping on his cape.



I'm teaching Lana how to ride her bike while doggy fills in as Schoggi's crash dummy. (Schoggi is our real dog)
