Christmas time again!

Christmas card time already?!!? Another year has gone by and we have barely documented any of it. It's like we blink and its gone! Life is good! We are thankful for so many things this year. Winter/Spring-Brielle turned 5, Cooper turned 2, Jaeya was born in March, Brielle finished pre-school. Summer was swim lessons for Bri and Juds, Elgersma family trip to Wisconsin, Judson broke his arm on the monkey bars:(. Hoegh family trip to the Black Hills. Brielle started Kindergarten, Judson started pre-school, then he got his cast off:)!!! Time flies when you're having fun. Other noteworthy things that have happened- Janna and Andrew along with kids Kavan and Riley welcomed baby Keelan into the family on November 20! Keelan is such a good lookin' boy and we anxiously await a time to meet him! Through different occasions with friends, this year we have been reminded of just how fragile and short life is. We think of and pray for these families regularly. We have held our little ones closer, cried a little more and we thank God for every moment we have on this earth with each other. We're grateful for our each of you and pray that each one of you knows the love of Christ this Christmas season.

Catching up

Trying to get caught up with posting some pics and documenting some memories. Here are some pics from this spring. What a spring it has been!! Tulip fest, Tivoli Fest, all sorts of random fun around the house and more. Bri is now biking. Jaeya has slept through the night a half dozen times so we're hoping she gets that down soon! Judson just turned four this weekend. Wow did we have fun! And wow we can't believe he's 4 already! Life is good and we still find ourselves and the kids saying "this is the life". It's a crazy life but it's fun. We certainly enjoy the process we're in and count our blessings. Cooper is talking more and more and more clearly too!
