Madelyn!


Well, so much for being a consistent blogger! :) We are now the proud parents of a baby girl! Madelyn was born on August 4, 2010 and is a joy! She was 8 lb. 4 oz. and is a sweet, happy little girl.
Ken and I are both finishing out undergrad and plan to graduate either in April 2012 or July 2012. We are very excited. We are hoping that Ken will get into Dental school for Fall 2012, but we will see. We are both in school this semester and learning how to balance school, church, and family. I have 2 classes on campus and 3 online classes, so I am able to be home with Maddie most of the time. It is really hard leaving her to go to school, but it helps to know that I am almost done!
Maddie is getting smarter and smarter everyday! She loves to talk and "sing" and has recently learned to say "dadadada." She will turn 7 months this week. I can't believe how fast time has gone. Ken and I were saying this morning that she is starting to move toward the little girl look instead of a baby. That just means I need to take more pictures!

It's Official...


Well, It's official... we are a very happily married couple and working to create our new life together. As of late, we are both working seasonal jobs until we start school in January. We are so grateful that we have jobs... it was difficult to find them. Ken is working at Big 5 and I am working in a photo studio. We just got back from a wonderful Thanksgiving break from the family cabin in Island Park. Ken and I had a lot of fun with Brian and Liz, Jon and Allie, My parents, and Papa. (we missed you Beth, Bob, and Claire!) but now it is back to the grindstone. We are just working until Christmas, which we hope we will be able to spend with family (if we aren't working) and then starting school again in January. Woo Hoo! We are very excited for that! We are so grateful for the Thanksgiving Holiday and the reminder that it is to be grateful for our many blessings. We send you all our love and care during this Holiday season.
