Caught Smiling

Irelynn was happy this morning, so I quickly grabbed my camera. Here she is flashin' me some smiles...

And here she is checkin' out her cute little self in the mirror...

To celebrate Irelynn's 1 month birthday I'm posting her birth announcement and pictures from Avera McKennan's website, because I failed to post it when she was born :) Here's the link:

Happy 1 Month Birthday, Irelynn!

I'd LOVE to post pictures from the amazing Casting Crowns concert Mark and I went to last night, but I forgot to pack my camera. I forgot to pack my camera because I was too busy trying to remember all the other things I needed to pack, you know, like diapers (which I still ran out of), frozen breast milk, ice packs, my pump...

So I'll just say that it was awesome....and I didn't fall asleep...until the car ride home.

It was a great night of worship. There were lots of great messages, but my favorite message of the night was that although it's wonderful to have a rockin' church and church family, and a rockin' pastor, and be a part of a rockin' small group, when you leave your church building, the only person you have to take with you is JESUS. When you hit the parking lot and start to fall apart, you have Jesus. When it's Wednesday instead of Sunday, you have Jesus. Invest in your personal relationship with Him. Develop your friendship with Him.

I was certainly convicted.

We are still adjusting to life as a family of 5. Irelynn has been pretty fussy and I'm not getting much sleep. I'm wondering if maybe she is struggling with reflux???

I've never fallen asleep blogging before, but...

Easter Weekend 2010

This weekend we traveled to North Platte, NE for Mark's uncle's funeral. It was a wonderful time to celebrate Everett's life and visit with family that we don't get to see often enough. Here are Mark's nieces, his sister Megan, and our girls (from L to R, back row, Jiwoo, Megan, Erica, front row, Amanda, Emma, Ella, Irelynn, and Gracie)...
