The Boys and Anna

Anna's first time in the bumbo.
Joel and Anna. I think Anna is still trying to figure out what is going on. She was a good sport and really seemed to like the Bumbo.

Joel decided to just go in his undies for the day, or so he thought. Cute picture anyhow.

Poor Nick was pretty tired and not able to ride a lot of rides so he was kind of sad as well.
What brotherly love!

What a very responsible driver.

Dave and I on our way home from Philadelphia. Dave's Grandma passed away and we went back for her funeral. We miss Grandma Delozier, but know that she is in a much better place. Thank you to Mom and Dad Albrecht for providing us with a plane ticket. We love you guys!

The boys trying to stay cool!
What a big boy!
They love swimming! It took Joel awhile to warm up to the water, but now you can't keep him out. Drew and Nick love swimming. Nick hasn't figured out he doesn't know how to swim. Drew is doing a very good job this year.

Hi all!

Yes, we are still here. Our life has been very busy, so bare with me as I fill you in. Let's start with the kids, since they are my life right now. Drew is doing very well in first grade. He loves his teacher and all his friends. He has completed three speeling test, 7 bible memory verses, several reading lessons and several other important mind strengthening activities. :) We are really into our school groove and it is going pretty smoothly. Homework is a bit of a challenge, but we are all getting through. :)

Joel loves school! He attends Monday and Wednesdays. He would love to go everyday if he could. It is hard to believe that he will be four years old. He is such a fun little guy. (They are all so much fun!)

Nick is attending school one day a week. He, too, would go everyday if he could. He is growing up way too fast as well. It seems like everyday he learns a new word or a bad habit- from his brothers of course. :)

They are at such fun ages. They are a lively crew, but I enjoy them so much.

Here are some pictures of our trip to Branson Missouri. We went to the Magic House in St. Louis with Mom Albrecht while Dave and Dad played golf. Joel points to Missouri on the map and tells me it wants to go back to the magic house. He wishes we lived closer. He also has informed me that he wants to go to Montana. :) Enjoy the pics! Love to all Heather
