Immer und Ueberall

So when we were at Woodland Lakes Christian Camp, we taught everyone Finoa's favorite song. Some of you wanted the words to it, so I thought I'd post them so you can have them.
Have fun with it!!

Vom Anfang bis zum Ende
haelt Gott seine Haende
Ueber mir und ueber dir.
Er hat es versprochen
Hat nie sein Wort gebrochen.
Glaube mir
Ich bin bei dir.
Immer und ueberall
Immer und ueberall
Immer bin ich da!
Immer und ueberall
Immer und ueberall
Immer bin ich da!

Zum Schluss

So that's what we've been up to. We are at my mom and dad's, Londonderry, New Hampshire, right now. Brett will be preaching at tomorrow's services. It is so good to be with family. Oma and Opa are really enjoying being with Fiona and she has yet to meet a stranger. Pray for calm rides in the Auto, anything longer than 20 minutes is a test of patience for all three of us. But we are promised that all things, even long rides with a two-year-old, are possible through Christ who strengthens us. (Philippians 4:13)

This one's for you, Cory. Her stance reminds me of you.

Happy Birthday, Fiona!! She can say and show that she is two!!

eating Goldfish with my good buddy Grace Whitlock.


Trying out the ocean with Uncle Ty and Papa.



Was macht ihr denn die ganze Zeit?

We stayed with the Burkey's while in Carthage. They are friends of my family and used to watch Grant and I when we were very young. This is Jerry having a tea party with Fiona...


And playing the piano.







This is Fiona and I playing in Mark and Carla Scott's backyard. We were able to spend some time with them in Joplin, Missouri.




We stayed with the Murphey family while we were in Washington, IN (New Hope Christian Church). Fiona had a great time with their two boys, in fact, she kissed Eli several times.



We went to camp and the kids raised money for us. They reached their goal and so we got gross food dumped on us. I do have a Wal-Mart bag taped to my head because believe it or not, I have had instant mashed potatoes in my hair before.

What have you guys been doing?


Brett helping out at the Scott's house.






Talking with Rita and Travis in Martinsville, Illinois.









At the church in Martinsville.






I don't remember where we were, but we thought that quality spelling could be appreciated just about anywhere.



This is us in front of the house my family used to live in when we lived in Carthage, Missouri. My brother, Grant was born in the hospital near this house.



While in Carthage, the Otts joined us for lunch.
