Going to the Alpaca Farm









Our local Alpaca farm does free tours once a month, So we went with some of our good friends out to see the animals. It was such a fun day and we had so much fun. As for the tour part....well, lets just say our kids aren't ready for any real academic settings. Luckily the owners of the farm were great with kids and let them wonder around while he informed the other patient adults that were listening. Hope you enjoy the pictures. No one was bit or charged..thank goodness!

We are back in business




Ok, so after a much to long hiatus, we are back and we are better...ok, so that is probably up for debate, but we are bigger. We are a "full up" family of four. We will start with a little update... We have moved and are back stateside. We bought a house, purchased two cars and went to work. Ryan started his new plane and is truly enjoying it. With this change, may opportunites have arisen and he is feeling blessed. He will compete in his first Ironman this spring. I have graced with the wonderful career of staying home with Micah and Natalie and teaching them as much as I can, while I cook , clean, run errons and keep a crazy busy social life...lol. I also am able to teach a few classes at our local YMCA during the week. Micah is in 3 and is in Preschool. He loves it and is really getting into the whole "friends" thing. He prays everynight for his friends and thanks God for them. Natalie is a daily suprise. She keeps us all on our toes and adds to our entertainment constantly. She is full of smiles and laughs and nonstop mischief. We don't know what we would do without her. Micah is lost if she is not around. We are super excited to see what the New Year of 2012 will have in store for us. We will do our best to post more and keep your more updated with the wonderful things God does in our lives. Cheers to all of you!
