"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Weekend at Brown County!

This past weekend my grandparents took our family down to Brown County.  It was really fun!  It was nice to get away for a few days, and especially because I don't see my cousins (Amber and Amy) too much.  When we were younger we used to be pretty close, but now we all live far from each other and we don't see each other very often.  Amber (and Ben) have a little boy named Avery (almost 2 years old), so it was cute to have Kaine and Avery play together.  We spent Saturday at Brown County State Park, but we actually stayed in a hotel the next town over.

Jill taught Kaine how to do a "toast"


Avery and Kaine hugging--they are so cute!

On a hike in the park

The faithful babysitters!  During our hike, my grandparents and Joyce stayed at the picnic tables with Halle.  When we got back, Halle was peacefully sleeping and Joyce was fanning her with a frisbee.  Isn't that great?  What good babysitters!

Thanks, Grandpa and Grandma, for a wonderful weekend!  We love you so much!
