New Blog

We're trying something new, so I am no longer updating this blog.  Please go to http://likeawildfire.blogspot.com/ for updates.  Thanks.

It has been so long...

Sorry. I have not been very good at updating this blog. We've been pretty busy and our internet was out for a month. But here are some new pictures of the boys. They are getting bigger and smarter every day. It is hard to keep up with them, but they are very cute and fun to be with.

Easter with the boys (weston in grey-he likes to pick up all the eggs and then take them back to his basket, jake in red).

We just got back from a camping trip in Big Sur. We went with all of Innerchange California (there is another team in LA). It was fun to hang out with everyone and walk along the beach.

Next week our team is having a vision retreat where all six of us will talk about the next year of the Outer Circle. What our team will be focusing on and logistical things. This is always a fun time to hang out with everyone and get a lot of meeting done in a short time. It will be interesting this year because we will have 3 toddlers to control!

We're getting ready to go back to Baker for Jon's graduation from High School. Luke is the graduation speaker this year which is exciting. Then we'll be in SF until the middle of July when we head to Malaysia for the CRM world wide conferecne. All the CRM staff will join together for 5 days of meetings, worship and connection. We're looking forward to meeting everyone and seeing another country. We may head over to Cambodia while we're in the area and visit the Innerchange team there too.

I have moved my garden box to our new house and I planted it about a month ago. I have already eaten 2 delicious strawberries! Again, it has been nice to get my hands dirty and I have enjoyed watching all the plants grow. I planted a lot of flowers this year, which I am very excited about.

Love to all of you!

Just thought I'd post some more pictures. Not much is new. It has been pretty warm here the last few days, doesn't seem like February, more like May! We went on a bike ride on Saturday with the boys and the bike trailer...I think they like it? They've got a new drum (which I took a cute video of but can't get it to load on here...) they play it all the time. I think they're going to be pretty musical. I'm glad for that, neither Luke or I are musical. They've started climbing up on things and running. As always, they are very cute.

Well, it has been a while since I posted pictures. We spent a week in Quartzite, AZ at the biggest flea market in the US. We were there looking for traveling kids...we found them. We went to a church that has a dinner every night and met a lot of people (some that had been to pancakes in the park here in SF). It was a great trip; we connected with new people and people we had already met. We're thinking of going again next year for a longer period of time. The boys loved camping and they ate a lot of dirt, as you can see on Weston's face!
We've had a busy week with new staff orientation. Two new people will be joining our team, one will live with us (his name is also Weston-what are the chances?!) and the other will live with Paul and Mariah.
They boys are growing like crazy...both very close to running. They say many words like "ball" (balls are their favorite toys at the moment), "tickle-tickle" they say this whenever they're shoes or shirts are off), and they are learning some sign language also which is nice because they can tell us if they're hungry or want more, etc... We just went to the doctor last week and Weston weighs 25lb. 15 oz. 31.5 inches tall and Jacob weighs 21lbs. 11oz. 30 inches tall. Both of their heads are in the 95%! They don't look that big, but I guess the charts know best? Big brains!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO BAKER CITY!

Grandpa Keith, Grandma Lynn and Aunt Kandice....we love you and miss you. Merry Christmas.

Sorry it has been such a long time since I've posted on here. We're back in San Francisco and pretty much all moved in. It is nice to be home. We put our Christmas tree up on Friday. I found a free fake tree, but it looks pretty nice. I think we'll buy a wreath to get the real tree feel. Here are some pictures of the boys on Halloween with Corrina (3 blind mice), climbing on furniture, in their bike trailer and our Christmas tree....
