Hi, Mom!!

I found out that my mother reads my blog everyday...that's pretty cool. You've got to understand that she's pretty new to the whole internet thing. Three cheers to a hip mom!

A couple years ago, in preparation for Izak's arrival, we took a Bradley birth class (Bradley is a pretty intese 12-week deal that helps husbands coach their wives in drug-free childbirth). Our class was great - we really got to enjoy hanging out with each other every week - you get pretty close with people when you talk about the bodily parts and functions of childbirth! They were a great group!

We've gotten together several times since we all had our babies - it's always been fun. Yesterday was another shin dig with the group...and about a hundred other friends and family connected with one of the couples. It was crazy!!

We finally left as Izak melted...went to Chili's for a nice quiet time together!

Well, it's a slow news day in Hamburg, NY...hope you have a great Memorial Day!

God, thank you for raising up men and women who have given their lives for the freedom that we enjoy in the United States. Keep your hand on those who are in harm's way today - that they might know your presence. We long for peace, which is only a vapor until you bring your ultimate peace in person. Amen.
