Okay, so it's pretty lame how long it has been since we posted. Merryn is nearly driving! Not really...but she has almost left the baby stage behind and is a little girl now. Amanda is in the groove of her work schedule and is so grateful to have found a sitter that comes to our house. Merryn really enjoys her buddy, Kolter, who comes to play during the day. Seth has been working hard to keep our patch of a lawn nice and green for Merryn to play. And we survived convention with a one year old! Ha ha!! Now we are looking forward to a vacation to MN and MI to visit family. So here goes...a whole mess of our favorite photos, most recent first!
