Such a sweet face....

Ana's First Last Day....

Ana had her last day of her first year of pre-school on Tuesday. It was a VERY quick year!
Ana did such a good job, enjoyed going to school so much and still is amazes me every day with all that she learned.


Her last day....


Her first day....(Fall 2009)


Ana with her teacher Mrs. G - who is just wonderful!...We looked forward to another year up there again next year!

4 Generations.....

Last time we were home in Montana - we did a couple Generation pictures......

...The Results....

Eric had his Dr.'s appointment today......

The news was GOOD. The cancer is gone!!!

We have another appointment in three months in which Eric will have a CT scan again

to check if the cancer is still gone - we pray that it is!

5 months old....

She has discovered her toes......



Surprised by the flash.....


Such a happy girl!


And rolling and rolling and rolling......

The Lost Treasure.....

Ana had her first ever ballet recital this weekend....she did such a good job and we were so proud of her! The theme was "The Lost Treasure" and Ana was a "gold earring".......







And Mr. Eli - got to come and watch his first ever ballet recital - he did pretty good. The other two got to spend the afternoon with one of our lovely babysitters!


Three peas in a pod....these are a couple of Ana's good friends - Alayna and Hannah.


Grandma and Papa also got to come and watch....thanks for coming!

It's a GREAT Day....

Today is the 1st Tuesday in over 6 months that Eric has not had to report to Cancer Care Institute for Chemo....it's a great day!
He has (what we hope) is his final PET scan on the 21st of May and a Dr. appointment the following Tuesday! We are sure anxious for the news!!

Dedicating Adilyn....

We had Adi dedicated on Sunday at church.....a little extra special since it was Mother's Day


Eric and I with yes, our four children in the church pew....never ideal....but our church is 2 weeks away from moving into our brand new building and so all of the children's activities during the worship service have stopped for the time being....it's little interesting trying to keep them entertained and QUIET. Thankfully Ema still can go to the nursery.




Our Pastor praying over our family and especially Adi.

Mother's Day....

My 4 bundles of Joy (most days!).....
Happy Mother's Day to our Mother's!

The cutest little 4 month old there is......

No trip to Montana would be complete without a stop at Kalin's Photography Studio....

And Adi just happened to be the prized photo "subject" this time around! She did so well and cooperated for the most part!!

Thanks Kalin for getting such good pictures of our kids!!
