We'll post the results next week.

Emily is 6 months old today.

Today she decided to start saying, "Mamamama". It is neat to hear her little voice. She is a precious girl, and is becoming much more interactive. She is up on her hands and knees, rocking back and forth, and getting ready to start crawling. It is fun watching both girls develop.

Shelbyanne continues to amaze us daily. She is speaking in sentences that we didn't even know she knew. For instance, Shelbyane and daddy were finishing dinner when I took Emily to the couch to nurse her. I turned on the television to watch M.A.S.H. and Shelbyanne said, "Whatcha doing Mommy, watching M.A.S.H.?" Rob and I are still laughing about that one. She has even started role playing with her dolls in her doll house.

Rob and I are still enjoying our classes. I never knew that Romans was so full of excellent foundational teaching. In fact, I never really understood what Paul was saying in the book of Romans as I do now, and yet there is so much more that I need to learn.

I want to encourage you to get to know the Lord Jesus Christ. I pray that you are studying the Word of God daily. What a Great God we serve!

Have a fantastic day!

I can't believe it's been a whole month since our last update.

School has started and we have been going, going, going! We are doing great though. Here are some updates for you.

EMILY

Two weeks ago I took Emily to the Doctor at the University of Michigan for a checkup about her hips. She had been wearing a brace for 12 hours at night while she slept. They took an x-ray and the doctor said she only needed to wear her brace for two more weeks. The next check-up scheduled is in December. So, as you may have guessed, those two weeks are over and she is out of her brace for good. WooHoo!! Last night was her first night without any kind of a brace since she was 2 weeks old, and she slept pretty well. She is a very active baby. She is sitting up with support and rolling around on the floor. She is a joy to be around, & we love her smiles.

SHELBYANNE

Shelbyanne is doing great. She entered the toddler class in childcare and is loving it. She looks forward to going to class everyday. She communicates very well for her age. We love her sweet voice and are simply amazed at all of the things she knows and says. She loves her little sister. She is very mothering to her. It's cute!

ROB & AMY

We have started classes for this semester and are really enjoying studying the Bible and getting to know our classmates and staff better. Rob is getting involved in the prison ministry where they go to the prisons to share with the inmates how to have and grow in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I, Amy, am trying to balance family, homework (lots of reading), socializing, and my crafts (scrapbooking, sewing, knitting, etc...)

Please keep us posted on what you and your family are up to. We look forward to hearing from you.
