Coconut

A coconut fell from one of our palm trees, so we made a hole in it and stuck a straw in there.

 Hudson was so excited to finally drink the coconut juice. 

He had high expectations, but didn't like it.

Recently

Hudson loves eating whole peppers and tomatoes from our garden

Anna Kate loves caring for her baby dolls

After living here 2 years, we still go to the beach all the time and love it!

Seema's Wedding

the bride and bridesmaids

so thankful I got to spend time with my great friend, Natalie

getting ready with her mother and one of her sisters

It was a real treat to get to spend time with my Dad & Carol!

And I always love dancing with my Dad

Seema switched to a white dress for the reception. She was absolutely stunning in both dresses! Here you finally get to see the happy groom, Patrick.

Creation Care

Trent taught about Creation Care at The Well (our young adult's group at our church) the first couple months of this year. Here are a few of the results for our family

We started composting. We now have one small bag of trash a week!

After a visit to ECHO and many trips to a local farmer's market (riding our bikes there :)), we decided to plant a Moringa tree.

We've been told it should be as tall as us by the end of summer.

Hudson turns Four!

presents

his party at school...Hudson picked out yellow iced sugar cookies to share and then Anna Kate and I stayed and played "Birthday tag" with him and his friends on the playground. It was so fun!

with his teacher, Mrs. Moore

This was just before Trent was leaving for work this morning. She begged for a kiss and lit up when Trent put his work bag down to give her a hug & kiss. :)
