I'm the birthday boy!

I was mommy's best birthday present last year.

Emily & Andrew love to wrestle


The last couple of months have been busy.
Andrew turned 1! He isn't our sweet baby anymore, but our mischevious little boy!
I feel like I follow him around constantly trying to make sure he isn't getting into something he shouldn't. He is constantly trying to climb on things...the stove, the dishwasher, the step stool, the bookcase, etc. Even though he likes to get into things, he is very loving too. He loves on our dog, his sister, and us.
Emily and mommy started taking tennis lessons, which has been fun. Her and Andrew are still enjoying their Music Together class. We are ready for the pool to open this summer, but are enjoying the nice weather playing outside on the swing set Jim and his dad built for the kids, taking walks/bike rides, and working in the yard.

God Bless,

Jim, Sara, Emily, & Andrew

Goodbye Colorado- Hello Ohio

Our first & last ski trip in Colorado

It was great skiing and lots of fun

Boy do I love chocolate....and just about anything else you put on my tray!

Andrew is an eater and already eats more than his sister.

What a smile!

She's growing up too fast.

Andrew sticks his tongue out and pants, it's the sign for dog

He can now say Sadie's name

Other words include: Mama, Dada, Hot, Uh-Oh, & No

What a precious package!

Emily helping daddy with all the packing paper from our move

Emily & Andrew are starting to play with each other more.

Their favorite game to play together is chase.

Caleb & Andrew eating crackers

They had their crackers already & are now finishing their sisters!

We are getting settled in Findlay, but miss our friends in Colorado. Although we have lived here before, and are fortunate to have great friends here, it is still an adjustment. We are also loving having family close to visit & babysit! The grandparents watched the kids this past weekend while Jim and I went to a "Weekend to Remember"-marriage conference. It was fabulous and I'd recommend it highly!

We've been looking into preschools to send Emily to next year-
she's sooo excited.

Andrew has started walking. It is funny to see him walk around the corner & just grin at you because he's proud of himself. He love to chase Sadie around & sister too!

Jim is enjoying his job and I am getting plugged into a play group and bible study.
We pray you are all doing well.



God Bless,



Jim, Sara, Emily, & Andrew

We had a great time visiting family for Christmas and are really excited to move back to Findlay and be able to see them more often. We will be moving back to Ohio at the end of this month, so things have been a little hectic. We are sad to leave friends, neighbors, and our church here, but looking forward to being closer to family and friends in Ohio. See ya soon.

God Bless,

Jim, Sara, Emily, & Andrew

We had a great time visitng friends and family. Emily had fun hangin out with her Aunts and Uncles and cousins. Andrew enjoyed bonding with the family too. He is getting his two bottom teeth, starting to crawl, and pulling himself up to stand. He wants to keep up with his sister. She got a bike and scooter for her birthday and loves to ride them outside with the neighbor kids. Hope you all have a great holiday season.

God Bless,

Sara, Jim, Emily, & Andrew

God Bless,
