Happy Belated Birthday Jen!!

Jen,
So sorry I forgot to post you a happy birthday! I remembered your birthday was coming up, but didn't have it on the calendar. I'm getting old and if I don't write things down I usually forget! We love you and hope that by the end of this year we're all living in PA!!! :) Keep praying for us! =) Hope your birthday was a special one!
Much love,
Michelle, Allie, Adam and Chris all the way from Iraq! :)

More PA pics.

Beware.... lots of pictures to follow!!! :) We had such a wonderful time visiting with all our PA family! I loved having all extra help and someone always there to talk with. Allie and Adam loved all the attention! :) We miss you guys already and hope we get lots of visits from all of you this summer! :) Adam 1st time trying out baby food - he loves it!!!!

Adam in his Bumbo.

Uncle Joe and Adam became close friends during our visit home. I know Adam must miss his favorite Uncle! :)

Playing football with Joe - Daddy would be so proud!!! :)

Hanging out with grandpa and Aunt Bethany.
One of Adam's other favorite foods is pizza crust. He just chews on it until it is all soft and gross. :0

One of the highlights of being at mom-mom's was getting to spend some time with the cousins. :) As you can see, they all seem very happy. And look like they live in PC! :) Ha ha!


I think this pic is so funny. You have Lindsey, looking like she's day-dreaming, Adam, not happy about sitting in the grass, Allie, checkin' something out to her right and Trinity, trying to get in the picture! :)
More fun on Uncle Josh and Aunt Lindsey's swing set.

Lizzy and Matt -- nice bikes guys! I love PA in the spring time. It is so beautiful and GREEN! :) That's one of the things I miss most about PA... it's 4 beautiful seasons!
Check out this grass.... they don't even water it!! ;) It's so soft and thick you just want to lay down and take a nap on it! ;)

Liz and the kids watching me take pics outside.
Adam with is best buddy (one of his best buddies)! :)
Joe (and mom) were very good at putting Adam to sleep for me.... where are you guys now!!!!!
Awww, looks like these girls had a hard day!
Lizzy and Matt just hangin' out!
Sarah looking oh so good in Lizzy's helmet!!
The "little girls" having a picnic! :) Allie dress her self that day. See how she has on every color in the rainbow! :)
More fun with the cousins.

Adam really didn't like the grass.



Awww, how cute! Erin's kids!
My big, little brother! :) He he, Joe, I don't think you're "BIG"!!! :)
My wonderful mom with my crazy kids. Look at them... one is crying and the other one is so annoyed.

Adam with his great-grandfather. Thanks g-dad for letting us come down and spend the night with you. It made for a shorter, more easy trip the next day!
G-dad's good pal, Buddy!
This last pic was taken after we got home. Adam had such a wonderful visit with all the family that it just wore him out. He fell asleep sitting up during his dinner on Tuesday night! :)
A big thanks to everyone for all your help, love, support and prayers! :) Miss you all and hope to see you soon!

Catching Up!

Adam and Allie swing on Grandpa's big tire swing.

Fun - fun!
Bethany took this picture so I'm not really sure why Allie was upset. Maybe she didn't want her picture taken! ;)
Allie's face is a classic "sad face" for her. :) I don't think Adam is enjoying grandpa's wood pile! ;)This must be a little more fun... he is such a cutie! ;)


Helping grandpa celebrate is special day.
Grandpa order Cornish hens for his birthday dinner. Allie even got a whole one all of her own! ;)
Taking a hike up the lane.

skipping rocks with Aunt Bethany.
