Trip to DC

Krieg and I made a trip to Washington DC this past weekend to visit my sister and brother in law. We got to check out their new house, see some of our cousins, and go on a White House tour, which included the West Wing (thanks to my cousin Christina who works for Obama!) The highlight of the trip for Krieg was playing with their dog, Hunter, who tolerated Krieg wonderfully! In keeping with his love for sports, Krieg also managed to find a vacuum part and turn it into a baseball bat within minutes of arriving, and played baseball wearing my brother in law's hat all weekend! We had a great time with them and wish we lived a little bit closer. We love you guys!

Baby news and a few other things

Just in case anyone hasn't heard the news...Baby #2 is on the way. I am 11 weeks pregnant and due March 9th. That means Krieg and the new addition will be about 23 months apart. I am feeling the effects of being pregnant more than I did with Krieg, and I am hoping that the second trimester will bring a little more energy and a not so queasy stomach! 

And for your enjoyment, here are a few pictures of Krieg from last week at our staff fellowship. We went to Linville Caverns one day when it was raining (hence the hood) and Kevin gave Krieg his first sword to play with! He had lots of fun last week playing with the other staff kids. It was fun for us to get to watch him actually play with the other kids, not just observe like he usually does. We wish we lived closer to all of them so they could see each other more often! Other fun news in Krieg's world: He is definitely left handed! We have been playing ball, baseball, basketball, you name it, and he always uses his left. He's actually gotten pretty good at swinging a bat lefty too! 

Lastly, school is starting back up; freshmen move in on Friday, which means our life gets a little crazy again. Pray for Kevin as he undertakes leading the ministry by himself again until the other staff finish raising their support. We are trusting God to complete their support quickly so he has a few extra hands to help him this semester. 

"The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few..." so we want all the laborers we can get up here!

Krieg's favorite song

Every time Krieg hears this song he goes nuts and starts dancing.  We have tried to video tape him doing it but every time we get the video camera he stops dancing and wants to touch the video camera.  if we get a sneak attack filming him we will post it.  It is awesome

During one of our last days at the LP we got all of our students from WCU to play softball. This worked great because there were 21 of us and we had 13 gloves.  The girls wanted to play guys vs girls.  The guys won 17-2.  Then we divided up the teams and played again.  It was so much fun, Krieg had fun too and kept wanting to go swing the bat.  These are the WCU students at LP09.  Be praying for their time at home to be restful, worshipful, and filled with growth.
