life in general



Here is Josh's new-found find, referred by a friend. It's called Philz and it's fabulous. It is a unique coffee shop where each cup is brewed individually! It is really tasty organic coffee and the feel of the cafe is very unique and cool.
speaking of Josh...
Josh has a crazy summer ahead with TONS of reading, Latin, preparing to teach Hebrew in the Fall, and comps at the end of the summer. Plus he is working two jobs, fixing our car that always seems to be having issues (kind of a lemon:), and involved in several different ministries at Church!!! Wow, I think that a dissertation sounds relaxing compared to what he is doing right now. Just kidding. Please pray for him to have time to fit in studies with the craziness of life.

speaking of lemons...









These are actual flower blossoms on our little lemon tree (thank you Mathews family)!!!! It is my dream to have fresh squeezed lemon juice someday so, here's to living the dream.
Speaking of dreamy...
Here is our almost 6 month old!!! I cannot believe it. She is just a delight and joy to watch grow. She melts our hearts at least once a day.
Whether its a good cup of coffee, a budding flower, or a sweet daughter I would say we are more than blessed by God!

  1. Enjoyed hanging out last night! Josh, give me a shout if you ever need help with anything. I'm not all that useful but I can be a pretty good yes man if you need anything. Also, how do you keep the deer from snacking on the lemon tree? Emily had gotten a potted rose plant from her co-worker and they got eaten!

  2. Thanks a lot, Jason. We had a good time too. We'll have to do it again. So far the deer don't go after the lemon tree for whatever reason, and Stacy said they don't like zinia's either (whatever those are).

  3. Your "Almost-6-month-old" is sure a cutie. These last 6 month have flown by! Are you guys going to be up in the Portland area anytime soon? Let us know, and we will look for you at church. We are finally getting plugged in at Good Shepherd now that we are in Gresham. Did I hear you had/have Cynthia there for a bit? I need to call her! Anyways...adorable pics. I enjoy your blog!
