family, prayers and updates

We sure are enjoying our time together while we wait!  First, we finally celebrated Lisa's birthday and celebrated her first time home since the wedding in December.

Then, my grandparents and aunt came in for Friday and Saturday, and we had a good time catching up with them, spending lots of time outside enjoying this weather!  

Adam flew in Saturday, and we spent the evening Saturday at our all time favorite family restaurant, The Japanese Steakhouse enjoying finally just all being together!

Lily is mad at us here because she wanted to be with Uncle Adam and Aunt Lisa.  I'm pretty sure she wishes they would adopt her :)

Today, we drove up to the short North because one of Matt's mentor's son's just became a pastor of a church there...great service and wonderful to worship in our own language and to hear some good Truth regarding "the prosperity gospel".

For memorial day we are heading for Amish country and spending the day at one of our favorite places, playing putt-putt, canoeing and eating at another family favorite restaurant.  I'm still trying to get over this cold and we're just trying to soak up the good family time that we wait all year to enjoy!
