One of the highlights of our year has been the addition of a new nephew, Micah – the third child of Eric’s brother Ivan and wife Julie, and the first baby born to his brother Neal and wife Tina.  It’s been a joy to see how beautifully God answered all of our prayers.  We wish we were closer to hang out with both of these babies – can’t wait to get to see them next year.  But after we got these photos we of baby Lauren, auntie and uncle wanted bragging rights.  We’re glad that Ian will have little playmates when we get to visit Hawaii!
