T.J. Pony

Our friend Howard gave Hope and Joy a pony today. He is so sweet. We are very excited to put him to work.

Halloween 2008

On Halloween we went to a harvest party with Lis and Providence put on by Calvary Chapel. It was a lot of fun! Except of course the horrible experience Lis had with the rock climbing wall : ) They even had snow cones which was my favorite. The only downer for me was
NO SNICKERS : (
Rune and Leif also stopped by to show us their cool costumes and play a few games with us.

Papa X3

I can hardly believe I have new one... again.

God is good!

BEAR for dinner

We had bear for dinner last night thanks to Ty (friend of Aaron).
It was really good. Not what I was expecting at all. We all enjoyed it.

cuties

These pictures didn't make the cut for the announcement : (

new camera pictures

new camera...family photo

We just got a new camera. A great one. Lis was over when we opened it and took a family photo of us with it. I can't remember the last picture we took together as a family or even of just me and Aaron. That is very sad to me and I am hoping to start taking them regularly.

Eden Fidelis Bertsch

As some, or all of you know we have struggled in deciding which name to bestow on our new daughter, well we decided!

10 mice in 10 hours

We started trapping mice last night at around 11 and this morning had gotten a total of 10.
Since we have trapped 2 more. I think we have a mouse problem...

And Now They're Four

It All Comes Out In The End

Rejoicing in the arrival of our third daughter.

Hair Cut!

Hope got her first real hair cut today. She did great while her Papa cut it. I think she looks so adorable. She likes it quite a bit as well: )

Prescription Lenses

Hope got her new glasses today. We have been waiting and waiting for them. They are so adorable and she has been doing so well with them.

Joys "first" steps!!!!

While joy actually took her first steps a couple days after we got back from vacation, this is the first video we were able to get (isn't it amazing how children will happily engage in certain activities until you go get the camera).

Camper!

Our camper is perfect. We are very very very excited for our trip. Providence, Hope, and I enjoy talking about Best Friends the most eventhough it is not our main attraction. Our main attraction is of course the corner of Nebraska which we are all also very excited about : )

VADA!

Hopes Christmas kitten came home after being lost for almost a week. Hope was thrilled!




Lis took some awesome pictures of Joy and the girls...yes Lis you are a good photographer also: )
