April 24 Update

Norah shares some hay with a friend

This little man is crawling, pulling to stand, and walking around furniture. He is into mom's kitchen cabinets too!

The girls love to push Grady in the stroller when we walk

Our kitten has grown into an accomplished mouser. He also likes to follow along when we take walks!

Norah was not so impressed with the bunny ears



Happy belated Easter! We have had a good couple of months since writing last. Once again I've fallen way behind on updating our blog. Every other week to post seemed reasonable not too long ago...now it seems laughable! There are just more demanding things calling for my attention at every moment as I'm sure any mom would know. :)

We have been running all over the place lately because Justin spends much of the spring months presenting Victory at churches to recruit summer staff, encourage campers to attend, and to build relationships with churches. We usually go with him since it's often a full day that he spends working and we already see too little of him in the summer! Speaking of summer, it's fast approaching and we have lots of counselor and other summer staff positions that need filling! If you are a high school to college age person or know someone who is that's interested in a life-changing summer, visit victorymin.org and print our application!

We visited family in Kenai at the beginning of April and had a good trip. We spent Easter with some good friends and the kids enjoyed being able to hunt eggs outside- we actually have breakup this year around a normal time!

We are loving the extra daylight that this time of year in Alaska brings and the girls are getting excited about gardening, playing at the lake, and meeting new counselors. There are always one or two special friends that Evie seems to make among the counselors each summer that she adores and it's fun to see her form those bonds.
