For anyone who didn't know...Lindsay turns 26 today.  I hope you have an awesome day dear.  I love you very much!

For anyone who doesn't get to go to Ruby's birthday party today, this is the video that we made for her. It's quite long (~18:00), and it was made with Windows Movie Maker. Although it has its obvious bad points, I'm actually quite impressed with the program. Enjoy!

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear mom
Happy birthday to you.

I love you Mom, and I hope that you had a great day. I tried calling your home phone, but I think you’re all at VBS. Dad wasn’t answering his cell phone either. Oh well…I can wish you happy birthday multiple ways in this day and age! We love you very much!

It’s official…my lovely wife and mom-to-be has successfully completed another year of life ( :

Lindsay, I appreciate you more than you could ever know. You make me the most happy and content husband in the world. I am thankful to God for every year that he gives you on this Earth, because it’s another year that I get to spend with you!

We hope that you have a great day today!
The picture is of Marc and Stephanie at a youth camp called “Super Summer” that they worked at this summer. They don’t normally wear all yellow, it was just part of them being leaders for “yellow school” ( :

This weekend marked two milestones:

We just got back from having dinner with Mike and Marc’s family, Lindsay’s family, and Stephanie’s family at Pizza Hut in Indianapolis. We had a GREAT time with them all. We are blessed with such a great family, all around!
More pics will come soon.

Yesterday was Anja’s birthday party. For those who don’t know, Anja is the girl who Lindsay nannies for now. She just turned one on Friday. We took her to a cookout for my research group, and everyone thought she was very well behaved. For pictures of the party, visit her parents’ blog. We met a lot of their friends on Saturday, and really liked all of them. Hopefully we can hang out with them more often.

Sunday was Mike’s sister’s 18th birthday. We traveled down to Indianapolis on Saturday to celebrate with the family. We are very proud of her and the woman she’s becoming. She has recently decided to attend Ball State, and I believe that she’s planning on studying elementary education.
