Family Pictures

One Sunday after church, we went to Lake Le-Aqua-Na in Lena to take some family pictures. Thank you to Sarah Rhoe for taking them for us!

We got some nice ones. :)

Birthday Party for Amber, Andrew, and Anthony

Since I have been so busy, I have not had a chance to post on the blog, so now I will try to catch up!
The week before our birthday, Mom had a party for Andrew, Anthony, and I. We had the Caswells, Rhoes, and Grandma and Grandpa Gillingham over for supper and games. It was a lot of fun! :)

our birthday cake

We played several fun games of monster volleyball! :)

Happy Birthday!!!! :)

Anthony had just trusted Christ as his Savior a couple of weeks earlier, so we sang "Happy Born Again Birthday" to him as well!!

Arek Alan Gillingham

Since we now have a little baby in the house and since I love to take pictures, there may be quite a few pictures of Arek on the blog for a while. ;) It is hard to believe that Arek is already a week old! Here are some the pictures that I'm behind on posting.

Dad, Mom, and Arek right before they came home from the hospital last Wednesday.

A couple of days ago, I tried to take some pictures of Arek but this is what he did most of the time. lol I got a few good ones, but I will try to take more sometime this week when he is a little happier. :)

He cooperated so well for me for the baby feet picture!!! I really like it!

More pictures coming soon! :)
