The Last Few Weeks

To recap March...

On March 2nd, Owen Daugherty was born! He's absolutely precious, and makes a fabulous addition to the Daugherty Family.

Benny, me, Owen, Jess and Travis on Owen's birthday.



Several days later, at the Daugherty's with Aden and Owen. Aden is such a great big brother!


Jared Galema really loves guitar hero. One evening when we were hanging out with the Galemas, Jared kept asking to "play." The way that he "plays" is that Adam has the real guitar hero guitar and Jared uses Cassity's Hannah Montana guitar. Benny also wanted in on the fun...so he used a yellow wiffle ball bat. Of course. (At the bottom of this post you will find a fabulous video of this event.)



Last weekend, we were in St. Louis for Polly Bennett's wedding. Polly was on staff with K-Life while I was in college, and is an amazing woman. Not only was it great to see Polly again, and to share in her celebration, but I got to see lots of other great college friends, as well. The wedding was at a glass factory, so there was lots of beautiful hand-blown glass everywhere.

Benny and I, in front of some of the pieces.


With Liz and Jon Horn. Liz and I have been friends since 7th grade when we had lockers next to eachother. It's been so neat to watch our friendship evolve over last 15 years...through junior high, high school, college, marriage, and for her...kids! Even though we haven't lived in the same place for 5 years, she still remains one of my closest, most reliable and faithful friends.


Love you, Liz!


This couple...Chris and Sarah Boddy... are really fun. I first met them when they were on staff with K-Life in St. Louis, and Benny and Chris worked at K-2/attended the Institue together. They are now on staff with Pine Cove Camps, and just had a little baby boy 7 weeks ago.


Kelsey Kindernecht...she was in my Sunday School class when I was in college...she was in 4th grade when I left, and now she's a SOPHOMORE in high school. She's absolutely beautiful, and definitely made me feel a little old :)


This is an amazing group of women. Katie Fabbiano, Bailey Mohr, Polly Baker, Genese Marshall, and Liz Horn. I did K-Life with these women, and each of them had a specific way of showing me how to have a genuine, real relationship with the Lord that could be lived out in a meaningful way on a daily basis. Thanks ladies, for the impact you've had on my life!
