Slacking

Wow - Sorry for the major slack in blogging.  Since our schedule has opened up, I've been very anti-computer (other than what is necessary for work).  Here's a quick update on our life lately.

We spent a long weekend in Kentucky killing three birds with one stone.  Visiting Matt's family, watching my sister play volleyball, and getting out of Holland for mini-vacation.  It was a lot of fun.  Unfortunately, we forgot our digital camera, so here are a few pictures that I stole from my sister's facebook.


From L to R: Matt, Rachael, Annelise, Leah, Mom, Dad, Sarah, Matt and Emily

"Aunt Sarah, please stop sucking my face!"

The Twins

Matt and Em are goofey!

Oops, I guess we're goofey-er!

Craziness

Please pray for our family this week - especially Matt and Annelise.

I have an extremely busy work week ahead of me.  Tomorrow is our Annual Banquet, Saturday is our 5k Run and next week we are hosting a 3-day conference for Missions in our region.  Its a little crazy around here!

Obviously, I probably won't be blogging much in the next two weeks.  Just trying to keep my head above water!

Pumpkins, Pie, Apples and Cider

What is it about the cooler weather and the leaves turning colors that makes me want pumpkin pie and all things fall!  We went to PumpkinFest in Zeeland last night.  I hate to say this, but what a let down.  We got all bundled up to go see pumpkins, drink hot apple cider and enjoy the festivities, but the place was nearly empty.  We stayed a whompin' 20 minutes.  On a brighter note, we left and went straight to Vitale's Pizza.  Never a let down!  We ate our hearts out for $20 and Annelise was an angel the entire time.  So, lest you be deceived by advertisements for cheap family fun, the old classics like Vitale's usually do the trick.

Maybe we'll visit the apple orchard today?
