Finally... an update!

Wow! It's been a crazy couple of months and we are all doing great!

The boys are growing so fast and Ella is no longer our baby girl as you can see. Below are a bunch of pictures that show alot of what we've been up to. Ella is in the middle of potty training which is exciting. She is learning what it means to use the big girl potty.

We recently returned from the Seattle area where we visited my folks and were able to spend some time with Krystal, Chris, and Amanda (My sister and her family) along with Grandma Melba Waters and my Uncle Dan and Aunt Suzanna. We had an incredible time relaxing and spending time with my folks, Zach, Joel, and Joci. Joci and Ella sure had fun riding in their battery powered jeeps together! While we were in Seattle we were able to spend time with Maria's Grandma Marjorie, her father Darrell, and his friend Sue. While we were in Seattle we also got to go to the zoo and Ella was able to see all of her favorite animals up close.

On August 24 we will be celebrating Ella's second birthday! It's amazing how fast time flies by! We have been taking Ella to the pool and she is sure enjoying learning to swim.

Levi and Ian are now only 1 oz apart in size. They are both close to 13 lbs.

We are in the process of finalizing plans to plant a church this coming spring. I am taking a trip this Tuesday to San Francisco to check out the area and look at the possibility of planting there. We are very excited and would appreciate your prayers for God's direction.

We love you all -
Seth & Maria, Ella, Levi, and Ian
