This post is going to send a whole lot of pictures and videos at ya! To start off are some pictures from our trip to Arizona the other weekend. We went out because I was in my friend Eric's wedding, and it was a good chance to see my side of the family. Elise got to meet her beloved auntie Kelly, and she also got to meet her great grandma and grandpa. She sure enjoyed seeing granny Robin and grandpa Buddy again, and she definitely liked meeting all those animals!
These pictures are just some random recent pictures. Heather does a really good job at catching all of the little faces Elise makes.

Goodbye Friends
Yesterday Heather and I said goodbye to out friends Jeffrey, Bethany and Zeke.
We have had to say goodbye to friends many times already, and we never enjoy it. But this time it hurt a little bit more. Jeffrey and Bethany have been our neighbors for the three years we have been here. Our relationship began the day we arrived with our moving truck and they were there to help us unload it, And then had us over for a meal after we were done. Jeffrey and I were in the same aviation maintenance class out at Lowell. Jeffrey always joked about how cool it would be if our wives were pregnant at the same time. Well, they were! (for a couple months). Zeke was born in May of last year, and Elise in December. We both had to move into bigger apartments to make room for the babies, so we ended up living across the courtyard from each other. Heather and Bethany had many chances to hang out and help each other out with the kiddos. Jeffrey and Bethany have showed us what true faithful friendship looks like. They were hospitable, generous, available, and encouraging. They are moving on to North Carolina to finish Jeffrey's preparations to fly for New Tribes Missions Aviation, helping those who are bringing the love of God to the ends of the earth. Jeffrey and Bethany we will miss you guys!
