Dance Recital...June 2010

These are pictures from the in studio dress rehearsal and a couple on stage for the actual recital. The girls had their recital at the beginning of June. It is so fun to watch the pure enjoyment on their faces when they dance! They went to Debut Dance again in North Liberty with Ms. Megan! Thanks Ms. Megan for another great year!

Finally...Ireland

So, Matt and I made a "quick trip" to Ireland at yes, the end of April (and I am finally getting around to updating my blog). We were looking at a fellowship opportunity in Dublin. The people there were INCREDIBLE and so super stinkin' nice. However, we have decided that it would not be a great fit for our family for multiple reasons. We actually are going to Cincinnati Children's for two years where Matt will do a fellowship in ENT. Nonetheless, here are some pictures of our trip.

Bath time...precious bums...

Gotta love bathtime! The twins sure do!:) In fact, when Elizabeth takes her bath after them, they are right back in the bathroom wanting more...usually end up with wet pajamas...

Elizabeth is 4 1/2

Elizabeth is 4 1/2, not just 4 anymore and she WILL correct you!:) She was so proud of her little "crown" from school when she celebrated her half birthday at the end of January!

Science Center in Des Moines

We went to the Science Center while we were in Des Moines this weekend. Everyone had a great time, including Matt!:) Elizabeth thought the giant vats of bubbles were a dream come true...she has been wanting to blow bubbles outside because she is SURE that is a sign of spring! Grace had fun building a rocket with Dad and seeing whose would fly the furthest. They were also very successful in "wrapping an egg" so that when it dropped from high above, it wouldn't break! Isaac and Sophia loved to climb around the little toddler area and just had a good time watching everyone and everything!

More birthday

Happy 1st Birthday Isaac and Sophia!

Our sweet babies turned one on February 23. What a journey this has been. We are reminded of all the prayers that were sent up on behalf of our family and these precious babies. God is so good and our family of six is continuing to "figure ourselves out!" THANK YOU! Enjoy these pictures from their first birthday parties. They have one more celebration in a couple of weeks when we are in Michigan.

Our kiddos...

Just some pictures of our kiddos from a couple of months ago.
