It is sad to say goodbye to Grandma - can't wait to see her again! I love kisses from her!



The end of April my mom and aunt Karen came out to visit and watch Allie for us! Jeremy and I had a great weekend getaway at the beach - such a wonderful weekend away together! While we were gone, my mom got LOTS of great Allie time. She and my aunt Karen watched Allison and had a super time too! They came to the beach on Sunday and then we spent the rest of the week together. It was fun showing them where we live, shopping, and just getting to watch them with Allie. She loved her time with them and so did we! Enjoy the pictures from the week!

So Much to Be Thankful For!

I wanted to post some recent pictures of Allie Grace! She is changing everyday - - and time goes way toooooo fast! She is so much fun and we are enjoying the smiles, coos, and all the cute sounds she makes! Allie is getting so alert and it is so much fun! She has also started sleeping through the night - most nights - yea!!!!!!!!! That is such a blessing - - - I didn't realize how nice consecutive hours of sleep were :):)

We have so much to be thankful for! We are excited to spend Thanksgiving this year with Jeremy's family. His mom, dad, brother, sister-in-law and niece will be here! What a joy - we are so thankful God is giving us this opportunity! With Jeremy's parents on the mission field, his brother and family headed to the mission field and us in ministry in CA, time together is a precious thing! Can't wait to post pictures of Allison and her cousin Anna together! God is so good!

A Proud Aunt and Uncle

We just couldn't pass up the chance to say how excited we are to be Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Jeremy again! We are rejoicing that Anna Joy Writebol has joined the family and we are thankful that Anna, Esther and Brian are all doing well! Check out Brian and Esther's blog for a link of more pictures of Anna Joy! She is a definite blessing and joy to our family! Aunt Stephanie can't wait to hold her again soon :)

Yea - it is officially here - - - summer vacation! I am so excited I can't tell you! It feels great to be out of school and get to do some fun things with friends and family now! I am eagerly anticipating my trip back to Missouri to see family and friends next week. It will be nice to get to catch up with them and spend some time enjoying summer with them! Yes, there will be Missouri heat, but at least they all have AC! Speaking of AC, the Santa Rosa heat finally won out this week and Jeremy and I were able to get an AC unit for the house - a portable unit - so at least when it is miserable, we can get some cool air and sleep! While in Missouri I will be able to celebrate my nephew's first birthday - hard to believe he will very soon be a year old! I am ready to get some Aunt Stephanie time with him! Jeremy and I are also eagerly anticipating the birth of Brian and Esther's baby! We are excited to meet him or her and get to be Aunt and Uncle here too!!!!!!

Many fun activities await us this summer! We have camps (can't wait for Family Camp!), college group activities, family coming to visit in CA, and much more! We are praying that now that our schedule has calmed down slightly we can spend more time with friends and family here in Santa Rosa too!
