Oh, and we're having another girl!!!!!! Damian is a little sad about being outnumbered, but he'll get over it!
These are so overdue!! I blame it on pregnancy and general busyness! A couple of pictures from Halloween, and then some of our snow covered yard and a few from Christmas. Evidently, I need to use my camera more often. I have so few pictures from the last few months!!
The other day, our Branch President from Church stopped by our house. It was 3 in the afternoon, long before Damian would be home, so I knew he had to be looking for me. I thought I was just going to be asked to give a talk or something. Oh no.
I have been extended the calling of Second Counselor in our Branch's Relief Society. I accepted and was set apart last Sunday. I am a little nervous, but super excited. The whole presidency is pretty young (early 30s and under) and we have a lot in common. Hopefully we will be able to serve effectively and will be able to help the sisters in the Branch!
Anyway, seeing as how we now own a bunch of land, we were able to provide a new home for one of my brother's dogs, Molly. She is a 65lb black lab "puppy". A few weeks after living here, we rescued 2 adorable kittens who were hiding underneath our porch during a rainstorm. Isabel has named them Daphne and Delilah. They are super cute and playful. However, we now have a dog and 3 cats, totally, and are feeling a little animal overwhelmed!
We greatly miss our friends in Grand Rapids, and frequently feel quite isolated. We are very much in the country and can't even see our nearest neighbor's house. Plus, we're a half hour from the nearest Meijer! But we're getting use to it, and are recognizing other benefits of living in the country.
Cheesy grins!
Damian and Cael, always too cool to have their pictures taken.

He wasn't so sure about Bob. Bob has shifty eyes...
