sean dedication

We had Sean dedicated at Grace Community Church on Sunday the 20th. We view dedication as our way of saying we as parents will raise Sean to honor the Lord. We had lots of family and friends come to support us. Following the service we had them all to our house for a brunch.

Here is a letter we wrote to Sean for his special day;

Dear Sean,

We love you and we are happy that God has given us the opportunity to raise you. You are and will always be God’s child and we are excited to have the responsibility of helping you grow and develop a relationship with Jesus. Your bright eyes and big smile bring us great joy each day.

In addition to the love and support that we pledge to you as parents, you are blessed to have family, friends and a church that will be there to support you in your walk with Jesus. Your two sisters already love and adore you and we are excited to see you grow alongside them as well.

As parents, we promise to love you unconditionally and pray for you always. We can’t wait to see what your personality becomes. The choice to believe is yours, and we will pray for you in your walk, that you may know the love and power of Jesus.

Love,

Dad, Mom, Nora and Molly

Sleep over

Nora had her first real sleepover with her two friends Mckayla and Syndey. It was a pretty tame sleepover since all girls went to bed by 10pm! We had a campfire and they got to roast hot dogs and smores. It was fun to see how excited Nora was to have them over!

Goo

Sean has been doing a lot of "gooing" and "cooing" lately. He smiles big whenever we look at him. The other day Nora came downstairs and said, "I think that we should change Sean's name to goo so that he will be able to say it." Nora loves her baby brother!

Kisses to Sean!

Happy Birthday Rachel

Rachel celebrated her 30th birthday on Wed. We celebrated after the game by going out to Orchard Green downtown and then out for some drinks after. Here is a photo of Rachel, Deah and I before the football game.

Homecoming Parade

We took the kids downtown to the homecoming parade on Friday night. We met up with our friends and had a great time!

Miller farm house

Brian's grandparents are getting ready to move off the farm and into the cottages in Kalona. I took Molly and Sean down one morning to get some pictures of the house and get a few things. The farmhouse and 80 acres is going to be sold at auction on Nov. 11th. I had a wonderful lunch with his grandparents and Molly enjoyed playing with the kittens! It is going to be a change for them to move off the farm. Nita told me that she was glad that she could do the move with Daniel instead of one of them having to do the move alone. I know that it was tough to make the decision to move but I think they are wise in doing it at a time when they both are still healthy and can have each other for support.

Here are some pictures of the farmhouse.
