Christmas Cousins

We enjoyed having family with us the week before Christmas including six grandsons three and under! Our new condo was rock'n with life, laughter, and an occasional tear. Enjoy!

Brothers

I had a great time Monday evening hanging out with Paul and Dominic. Paul is a Big Brother to Dominic through Big Brother Big Sisters. It's easy to see how much they enjoy being with one another. Simple things done together can have a significant impact. It was fun watching Dominic fix mac and cheese and grill burgers! I hope this slideshow captures the relationship Paul and Dominic have with one another. Enjoy!

Learning to Love

We visited Josh, Diana, Caleb and Clayton earlier this month in Forest City. Josh and Diana love their little guys! They are awesome parents, teaching their little team how to love one another. Clayton is just about a month old when these photos were taken. 

I put together a slide show that tells the story better than I can. Enjoy!

Clayton David Pagel

Clayton David Pagel was born to Josh and Diana on Sunday, February 7. We arrived at the hospital an hour after he was born. What joy! We marvel at the gift of life and worship the giver of life. Enjoy the slideshow.

Let the Little Children Come to Jesus

We had a great Bible Club last Saturday with 17 kids attending from the Fives Seasons Mobile Home Park! Tasty homemade snacks, fun games, engaging worship, awesome Bible lesson and lots of smiles! Our team presented Jesus in all his beauty!

Welcome Home

What an awesome sight - 50 people at the Eastern Iowa Airport eagerly waiting for Jeremy, Alex and Thomas to arrive! And then they appeared! All joy. Many tears. Hopes and dreams and fears all mixed together, coming out all at once! They're finally home, where they belong! 

Enjoy the slideshow and memories!

Family Time

We have enjoyed a week of extended family time. Jon, Trista, Benaiah, Brody and Corbyn arrived on Sunday, December 27 for Christmas. And then Josh, Diana and Caleb joined us on Wednesday evening through the weekend!

So much fun, laughter, and tears! So many memories. So many pictures! Enjoy!

Dads Life

Jon, Trista and boys are with us for some family time after Christmas. Great spending time with all of them. Life gets going early in the morning with these three active boys. This morning Jon was on duty. This is why God gives children mothers! Enjoy!

Day In The Life with the Engelkemier Family

I was honored to do a Day In The Life photo shoot with the Engelkemier family this weekend. With family members living in several different states and one out of the country, the Engelkemier's wanted to capture some of the precious family time. Enjoy!
