Not too bad being spread out with 2 weeks between the two. :) Back a few years ago we actually went to 2 weddings in one day!! I was so exhausted when all was done. Not much going on these past few days.

My 3rd Post...I'm on a roll!!

I know we were in quite a drought over the past couple of years + that we are now pretty much out of it + that God know's what we need + what we can handle...but lack of sunshine can get to me after awhile. I thrive

WOW!!! 2 days in a row!!! (amazing!!)

It's me again!!!Well. Erin had her baby. :) I will try to post a picture of him when I get the hang of putting pictures on my blog. ;) He was born at 5:48 a.m. May 14th which was her due date. That rarely happens but it's fun when it does!! :D His name is Luke Aaron Higney. (she didn't want Christopher + his new brother to have different last names. It is still her last name. No problem to us!

Day 1...With many more to come...(I hope!!)
