I have the photo album up from our internship to Africa back in 2000, although I need to organize the pictures a bit more. (If you missed my last post, the reason I am putting these online now is because we just had them put on CD from the APS negatives.) Click on the picture below to see many more!

Africa internship

We recently had 9 rolls of our old APS film put on CDs. It was fun to look back at pictures, some that we hadn't seen for 8 years. There were several of us on vacation after our missions internship in 2000 that made us look SO YOUNG. So I made a slideshow of them. Next I'll make an Africa photo album and post the link to it, but that will take longer to put together.

Happy Birthday, Jacob!

My first baby is six years old today!

Birthday Party

Here is Samuel B.C. (before cake). He had been lying down on the couch and was almost asleep. He has croup, poor boy. We decided to perk him up so he could at least eat his birthday cake before bed.

"What is this strange ritual?" He waited patiently while we sang to him and his brothers blew out his candle for him several times. The last time I lit it, I stepped away from the table so Heath could get a picture of just Samuel and the lighted cake - and just then Samuel reached out his little hand with his lightening-fast reflexes and grabbed the flame. Ow! The flame immediately extinguished, so he's fine.

See the chocolate frosting on his finger? See the sad face? He reached for the cake and Daddy said "No."

He's almost ready to stop crying now that he's realizing he will get to eat some cake.

"Ahhh, yum."

"Ready for my birthday bath!"

Happy Birthday, Sweet Samuel!

One year old! I can hardly believe it!
