Kaelyn's 6th Birthday

Kaelyn just celebrated her 6th birthday!!! She is such an amazing delight to us.  She is blossoming in so many amazing ways.  School has been very good for her and has helped her to learn how to work well with other people.  She is becoming quite the reader and just has an awesome maturity about her.  Her smile brings great joy to those around her and she has such a sweet spirit.  She loves God and is learning so much more about His character. We love you Kaelyn and pray often that you continue to grow into the amazing woman God has planned for you to become.

Her dolphin themed party was a hit and she got to enjoy it with her school friends and her family!!  We played some fun games and enjoyed some yummy dolphin cake.
 Cupcakes Kaelyn helped decorate for her whole class.
 Kaelyn's birthday cake.  It has a nice dip in it and Kevin said it was a purposeful wave.  I like that plan.

























May Has Been a Joy

   The Germanns never seem to cease being busy, but that is ok with us.  We keep finding some great moments to just savor and enjoy the little things in life.  We started off this month with a trip to Denver to check up on the twinsies.  Lily and I drove down together and met up with my mom and had an ECHO done on both of the babies hearts.  Everything was perfect praise God.  Then we met up with Aunt Steph, Tom, Rainey and Bryan for a super delicious meal at an Asian restaurant named Karma. It was truly the best Asian food I think I have ever eaten.  Everything was sooooo fresh and cooked to perfection and amazing mix of flavors.  We then proceeded to Rainey's house for cake to celebrate Tom's birthday.  It was nice to catch up a bit with family.  The next day was one more appointment where we learned that our precious baby A's lung malformation has significantly decreased in size.  Praise God.  Everything looks great.

   Back to Gillette we went with my mom.  Kevin and Kaelyn have been finishing up the school year and Kevin completed his track season with some great track meets and one of his girls got a 5 sec PR in the 800m run taking 5th place and got 4th in the 4x400m relay.  The girls took 1st place overall.  It was a good season.  MOne week of school left now.

  Now it is packing time and getting the house looking nice for someone to rent or buy.  Going to be a busy summer but we are ready to tackle it and see what blessings God has set before us.  What an amazing journey we are on in this life and what amazing things God keeps teaching us about His great love!!!!!

  We got to enjoy our first marshmallow roast and the pleasantness of a brand new deck.  Temperatures have been a little crazy this spring, but we have had some nice much needed moisture (rain and snow) and some beautiful days.

 Sweet sisters!!!

We have accomplished a very large feat!!  What a miracle to be at 30 weeks!!
