Congrats Sarah and Chris

Here is a picture of my sister, Sarah and her new husband, Chris. We had a great time at their wedding. As you can see Maddie loves her aunt and uncle very much!!

IT IS FINISHED!!!

My seminary work is complete!! It's been good, but I am glad it is over. Soon I will get my diploma, a really expensive piece of paper. At least it makes me sound smarter. What will I do with all that extra time this fall - no papers to write, no assigned books to read?

Long overdue update

Ok, as many of you have pointed out, we've been slacking on the blogging. So here's a synopsis of what we've been up to:

HOUSE: Yes, we are in our house and not living in a van down by the river. We really like it although we have some work to do. For example, we have a great, original 1970s bathroom that is pink, has blue sinks, and some sweet lamps. We'll be changing that soon.

MADDIE: Maddie is just as sweet as ever and learning new things every day. This summer she took swimming lessons with a couple other friends from church. Ok, it wasn't really swimming; it was more like getting used to the water. However, she really loves going down the big kids water slide with mom and dad. The picture of her floating was taken at our Student Ministries Lake Day. Lately, she's really been into dolls, putting them in a stroller and pushing them all around the house.

ROCHESTER: We were in Rochester a couple weeks ago. I (Eric) played in a church softball tournament. Unfortunately, we weren't able to win our 4th championship, but it was fun anyways. We got to see our friends Ryan and Megan's new baby boy!! We also got to see some other friends, but they weren't as small or as cute.

SEMINARY: Almost over! One more paper due on Sunday; such a good feeling.

That's all for now. We'll try to be better at blogging, but no promises :-).
