Welcome to Blogger!

Well, I'm trying to create a fun and easy way of sharing pictures. So, here we are, trying out the blogger now a days. Lots of new, fun things going on... we've started attending a new church, The Church at Grace Point (http://www.grace-point.com/) and we're very excited about it. We'll miss Christ Community, but we feel like God has called us to move forward with The Church at Grace Point. Tony is in the works of possibly accepting a full time position there instead of teaching. WOW, we know! It's all happened within the past couple of weeks. We're very excited about it, but things are still in the works, so it's not a for sure thing. We still have a few more people to meet before we can move forward. The position is being the Children's Church Director... they need someone to head up the entire Children's Church area, create a vision for it and put the vision into place. It's great because Tony, being a wonderful teacher that he is, has the background to do the job and more. We're very excited about the job and the church itself.
As for me, I'm still doing the photography thing. Praying for more business to come my way, though. I love doing weddings, it's my passion! I'm really looking forward to meeting more people around my age, which similar interests and that have children! It's so funny because all the friends we make here don't have any children. It hasn't been bad (you know we love all of you!) but I think it will be a nice change to have friends around here that have kids as well. I'm excited for bible studies and all the wonderful things that will come!
Brayden and Ashton are doing very well. They are very much into video games, just like Daddy. For Father's Day, the boys gave all their money they had saved (for the Wii - they saved almost $200) and I put some in, too and we got Tony the Wii. It has been a blast for all of us! If you don't know about it, I strongly recommend it. It's great for parties and just for family time. It's funny because they have a baseball game on there and Brayden has learned so much about the actual game of baseball just from playing it on the Wii. He's so interested in what plays are what now, he loves to watch a real game of baseball. Tennis, bowling and golf (more games on the Wii) are the same way. Ashton is a sport natural and loves to play any sport there is. We're so proud of who they are becoming. They are about to start soccer next month, so we look forward to the ball game schedule again! Also, school starts next month, so that will be another adventure as well. Brayden will be in 1st Grade at Michigan Ave and Ashton will be in the 4 year old pre-k at First Baptist Family Life Center.
Emalyn is doing great, too. Entering a little bit of the "terrible two's" but we'll keep her anyway. She's such a sweetie and a complete girlie girl. She's all about "pretties" which is anything jewelry or what we put in her hair. She loves clothes, shoes and hats, too. She is very motherly to everything and even turns a washcloth into a baby in the bathrub. We have to be careful with her around Daphne, our puppy maltese, because she loves to pick her up ALL the time. Sometimes she is gentle, other times, she isn't. She means well, but for the sake of Daphne living a full doggie life, we need to monitor Emy around her.
We're also trying to sell our house at the moment. Not totally sure where we are moving to next, we're still looking. Please pray for us in that whole department. We've run out of space about 2 years ago!
Well, I guess that's about it for now. I'm working on the pictures right now, so hopefully, this will work out really well.
God Bless!
