a note from zeke...

Hello Friends & Family! Hope you enjoyed my video of me playing piano. It is still attached at the bottom of the posts. Here are some new pics of us:

after my tubby

We are going to be kinda busy this next week as we are finishing the room in the basement, so i thought i would let everyone know. Hopefully you can enjoy these pics until mommy posts again. We have also been sick, pray that we get better soon. Hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather! i can't wait to go on my first bike ride with mommy & daddy (i heard they are buying me a bike trailer to ride along with them...shhh don't tell them i know!)

Until next time...

new puppy...

Auntie Ariann & Uncle Mike got a new puppy on saturday! Yippe, i have another furry friend to play with!

just came home

my new little friend...

he's so fuzzy...

we can play on the floor together!

I think his name is going to be Bubba (short for Bubbagonouish??) He is learning to be house trained right now and Tina (their other doggie) is showing him how things work around the house. SO fun! I'm learning to pet him nicely and not pull his ears too hard. He is so funny, he tried to eat my sock..silly puppy!

ezekiel's 2nd swing...

Well tonight Ezekiel and i ventured out to the find another park near us.
I say this is his 2nd swing b/c we went for a walk yesterday with Grandma & Grandpa Menter, Ariann, Mike and Tina and of course Daddy too!! We walked and walked and WALKED and found a park with lots of fun stuff, but we forgot our camera, so tonight Ezekiel and i walked to a closer park and i remembered my camera this time. He had much more of a reaction tonight he was laughing and smiling..so GREAT!

We couldn't stay too long b/c it was getting late, but i thought i'd share some pics. I wish i could put some video on here, does anyone know how?

picnic pictures...

Our Family Picnic Saturday

fun times!

i'm still alive...

Hello all... i just wanted to write and say that we are still alive & kicking!! I haven't written at all this week and that is because we FINALLY have some nice weather! Which means that i've been outside walking! ahhhh i have been dying to get that stroller out and go for a walk so we have done that several times this week.

I was also busy working on getting the drama for Rocks Won't Cry ready for the students to work on this wednesday. We only have 3 more weeks to work on it before the Fine Arts Festival.

Ezekiel has been VERY busy, climbing and super crawling everywhere and i'm really enjoying this age! He is so much fun! Not that he wasn't fun as a baby, but i feel like i have relaxed more as a mom and i feel like i can enjoy him more. I think the relaxing part is also because we are done with all the house closing "stuff" so i feel FREE!!!

I had MOPS on friday and we made no-sew blankets for women at the crisis pregnancy center and we will be delivering those tomorrow afternoon. I have really been enjoying MOPS and always look forward to Friday mornings.

Zeke is eating and growing like crazy! He has definitely hit a growth spurt and he eats as much as Shiloh practically so i was wondering where all the food was going! His favorite new food is grilled cheese! Yesterday we went out on our deck and had a family picnic for lunch. I made grilled cheese and we had chips and apple sauce and a banana. We had so much fun enjoying the beautiful weather and spending time together as a family! It was one of those moments when you want to "freeze" time to remember it!

thoughts on global warming...by shiloh menter

Just wanted to post somthin' regarding global warming. As a Christ follower I have to have a different perspective on things like this. This seems to be the Hollywood cause-du-jour of the moment. We do know that the earth will one day be re-made into a new earth and this sin-corrupted earth will no longer be (II Peter 3:10). We also know that the earth is wearing out like a garment (Psalm 102: 25,26). This passage also shows the sovereignty of God over creation. The earth is His to create and to destroy. Do we need to care for creation? Yes!! We need to be good stewards of His creation, that has been our mandate from the beginning. Will we be the ones to destroy the earth? Is this just another way for government to limit our liberties?
