We Love Baby Preston!

My cousin Dave and his wife Sarah just had their first baby (unanimously decided to be the cutest boy we've ever seen)! We just found out baby Preston is having surgery on Thursday and we want our friends and family to pray with us for his speedy recovery. All our love and support is with you guys, we love you!!

Happy Thoughts...in abundance.

We're recovering from a camping trip this weekend...all the Stowell girls were vomiting every 20 minutes and poor daddy had to play doctor on his day off. However, while on the mend we've managed to have a little fun...
Story at the Nashville's Downtown Library is like none other. "Spanish Fox" helped read a story to us today and I've never seen so many truly giddy kids. We sang rainbow songs, "It's a Wonderful World" and lots more. Lauren got to sit on the stage with her buddy Brady and visit with the hosts and puppets.

Day 2, Sunday recovery nap on the couch...not by myself.


Fall Creek Falls. Glorious, breath taking, awe inspiring view.



The morning after camping with 3 sick girls, daddy can still sport a smile. What a stud.

Apple Days

My Mom is having apple days at school with her first graders and Lauren has decided to participate too. We're eating apple sauce, drinking apple juice and planting our apple seeds. We're off to a near by orchard to pick apples next week...I'm always amazed at how this little 3 year old takes an idea and runs with it. We were only allowed to read "apple books" at the library today and I'm sure we'll have diarrhea later...
Thanks mom!

Miniture Burke and Rivka!

This was too cute to pass up. I'm sure you have all heard by now, but here is little Kate Isabella O'Neal in all her glory! Looks like she got those killer Rivka lips, lucky girl!!
Way to go B & R, those are some darling munchkins!!

Baby in a basket!

Little Ayanna is here, and she didn't come quietly! She packed her bags and came early (34 weeks). 1 emergency c-section and 10 days later they're all at home and doing well. Love to the Jaboin Family!

We're at the Parthenon!!

Nashville's Centennial Park has everything.......including the Parthenon. The building is a full scale repleca including the 42 foot statue of Athena. Oh the joy.






Primary Program




Our little sun-beam, Lauren, did a wonderful job with her part in the primary program. She was the only one in her class who could see over the wall on the stand and into the congregation. She sang along (and at least knew the last 3 words of every line after the first verse) and had her scripture memorized perfectly! Then we called Grama to tell her all about it. Yippy
