Outside with the whole family


outside for just a little bit


Moriah didn't like it that much
maybe sun in her face and wind?

Moriah


Moriah Lynn, what a beautiful name


yes, she has a nose


and a different chin, more like Olga's

a family of 4



Almost there


I am in Iowa


where the fields are mostly empty



and we wait in anticipation 
the arival of Elijah's sibling

pray for a save delivery

Psalm 139: For You formed my inward parts;
You wove me in my mother’s womb.
