They speak their own special language and Brynn lights up whenever she sees Eleana. Wednesday, October 1, 2014. Some good friends of ours, gave us 6 chickens. But, these provide eggs. So, this is Olaf.

Sunday, May 20, 2012. My beloved mother in law, Claudette Wright, went to be with our heavenly Father this evening. She truly was one of the most loving mothers and the most amazing fighter I have ever known and we will miss her terribly. Yet, as hard as it is to say good-bye for now we find comfort and peace knowing that we will see her again soon. Wednesday, April 25, 2012. We sure do love spending time with you! Easter morning.

Friday, June 26, 2015. No time like the first birthday to post a birth story and pictures! We started out the day bright and early at the Breakfast Club downtown, as per tradition. I maybe ate half of this, but it was sooooo good. Nothing like a good pre-birth fuel up! We arrived at the hospital at 7 and everything was ready for us. And Daniel William Leland Beck.

Sunday, July 5, 2015. The early bird gets the worm. This one was just for Joe. got up to catch this one on his way fishing one morning. After a very busy day out on the water, we were ready to be lazy! Being really good at lazy is kind of a lot of work sometimes. I ran off to be lazy at the market by myself for a while, then braved what turned out to be a very quiet day at WinCo for more being-lazy supplies. Fourth of July manicure! And a water fight! .

Friday, July 13, 2012. How did we get here? We are in full swing of summer and full swing of child rearing! Fortunately, we find ourselves in good company. So many people we know have gone before us and can offer so much wisdom and perspective. God works through His people! And we are grateful even as we are tired. The last six months have ushered in tremendous changes in our children.
