Our lives are forever changed...

2 days ago, it happened unexpectedly for the very first time ever.  Last night, it happen 3 times in a row.

Our lives, will never be the same.  We have to make some really big adjustments and think critically about how we will respond.

If you have been through this, you know what we face...

Curious?

Becca's Shower was a hit!

Thanks for a great time!

On Saturday, April 7th, Becca and I attended her wedding shower (yes, I was graciously invited also). We were very
touched by the amount of planning time and effort went into this event. Becca and I got to spend the afternoon with about 40 friends and family. It was hosted at a little development club-house very close to the Massanari's house. Obviously, Mom and Mrs. Massanari had been planning this event for some time.

It was a great day filled with fun, laughter, and good food (and great cake!). One highlight was
the "How well do you know Brian" game that Becca played. I had been given this questionnaire to fill out a few days earlier. The trick here was that when Becca got a wrong answer, she had to put a piece of Bubble-Yum bubblegum in her mouth. For those of you who know this gum, the pieces are huge. Despite what the picture may look like, she actually did quite well.

We were truly blessed and humbled by the graciousness of our family and friends. We have had a great time getting to put some of the gifts to immediate use (Shari, our entire apartment
smells like a cinnamonny dessert). It was a tough decision when we agreed that I would not use our bedding until the wedding.

When Mrs. Massanari was planning the food for the party, she remembered Becca and I raving about Mom's Iced Tea "recipe." So, she got Mom to make gallons and gallons of Iced Tea and drive them to the party. That way we all got to enjoy it. It was a funny and cute touch.

I must say, I felt especially proud to be a member of this family as I saw all of my friends and family reach out to Becca and really accept her into the fold.


Thanks again to everyone far and near! I leave you with a picture of Becca and I donning our new feather boas. They were given to us by, take a guess, Mom and Dad in honor of my pretend pet snake (feather boa) that I carried around when I was about 3. By the way, Becca and I did not intentionally wear our wedding colors, which were the shower colors. I swear!

New Media Available, plus...

Hey everyone, we've posted 2 new videos and more pictures on our website, check them out!  Will "Daddy" dunk Tessa in the pool?  What hymn has Drew been singing? 

Also, praise the Lord with us, our church officially joined our support team by financially supporting our ministry each month.  While we praise God for this, we remain under supported at 86% of our need.  We were down to 74%.   We remain concerned about this immediate need for additional support.  Please pray that we will be committed in the next few days to putting together a plan to raise the additional 14%, ($740 a month).  Interested?

Tessa's TRYING to Crawl


Tessa's up on all fours, rocking and moving those back legs! She even moves her legs forward as if she's crawling, but she hasn't yet figured out how to move her arms!

Tessa's always smiling! I may be a biased Mom, but Tessa's smile is my favorite!
