Girls And More Girls

You may have seen one of my earliest posts about how everyone we know is having girls right now. It almost turned out to be all girls again this round, with our friend Patty giving birth to their second girl, Junia, a couple of weeks ago. But, Bret came through for the guys and little David arrived back before Chloe. With his two big sisters and all these girls surrounding him, he'll need an extra dose of Dad's roughing and tumbling to stand up to it all. Praise God for these little miracles, who somehow make all our pain and struggles disappear.

Today, Grandma B. arrived from Nebraska, and this evening, my old roommate Tom and his parents will join us for dinner. Tom is a good friend, and if you're interested, you may hear him on the radio every Sunday afternoon from 2:30 to 3:00 on 770 AM in St. Louis. I listened long enough last week to hear his co-DJ make an appeal to find Tom a date for some upcoming event, and I let Tom know that we were listening. So this week, Tom dropped our names on the air by way of sending us a greeting! Very amusing and rather exciting.

5 years, 2 years, and 2 months

Hi all. We are past due for an update here. I think the best way to get caught up is to load up on some pix. We can make up for failing to meet our word quota by taking advantage of the 1000 to 1 advantage pictures deliver as compared to words.

We have recently celebrated Isabelle's and my fifth anniversary, Julia's turning two years old, and Chloe turning two months old. We also completed a major road trip that took us all the way to South Padre Island, Texas, with Isabelle's sister Medge and her husband Jacques. Given that information, some sense should be able to be made from the following images...
