The Tornado

The April 27th tornado brought lots of devastation to our surrounding areas. For days we prayed...feed...helped the ones we could. We were so thankful for the chance to help. And Max? He was thankful for a new place to sit. :)

easy choice


the yard at the new house required either a handful of laborers every two weeks OR a riding lawnmower. guess what ryan decided??? now he has two new babies.

holding court

this weekend we were in auburn to pack up 36 years of living. oma is finally moving to the big city. we found my desk from when i was younger among the furniture and max decided he needed to be in charge.

come to think of it...he actually is in charge most of the time. ;)

Finally Home



we have settled nicely into our new home. not completely settled - but things are finding places. we planned a trip last year before our house was even on the market to go to sugar mountain, nc. this trip made us take a break from working around the house and it was well worth it. we had a wonderful week there relaxing, skiing/sledding, and enjoying max at 14 months. what a fun stage. ryan's sister meg and her husband clay joined us which made the week even more special. max is dancing, conducting music (which his o-pa taught him), and sleeping like a log. he has 6 teeth and 3 molars that are 1/2 way here. he can't be comfortable - but so far only one sleepless night so he is fighting thru it. it has been a great month for us and we are looking forward to the weather warming up and enjoying our big new yard.
