Lots of babies!

We are very blessed and excited to have two married couple friends who are going through the same joy of having babies! Lawson and Caroline (pictured below) welcomed Brooks Elliot Flowers into the world in June. We have really enjoyed holding Brooks and we have learned much about taking care of babies from their experience.

Our wonderful friends Jay and Erin recently had their baby girl, Iris! She is a beautiful and healthy baby. We are so excited for them.

We got to hospital in time to see her first bath! Friends (left to right): Lanny, David, Lawson (holding Brooks), Caroline, Baby Iris (behind the window), Katie, and of course us! Jenna is holding her belly, showing you how big she is.

It is a blessing to have friends to go through this special time with. We are learning a whole new part of life, parenting, together.

We promise more pregnancy pictures will be coming soon!

Friends!

Recently, some good friends, Tyler and Lyndsay, came to visit us.  For those of you who don't know Tyler was my (Sean) best man in my wedding. He is the brother I always wanted.  We met at the beginning of our freshman year while we were both going to Blinn Junior College in Bryan, Texas. Tyler is going into his senior year at Texas A&M, he is a manager at a Mug Walls Java Bar, he serves at-risk youth (great video about the ministry HERE), and most of all is deeply in love with Jesus.

Tyler and his girlfriend Lyndsay spent some great quality time with us in Austin. We ate good food, spent time at the pool, helped friends move, and he even mowed my parent's yard. We are always so blessed by the time we get to spend with this couple.

Hanging out with friends! & Sause Soup recipe

Periodically we hope to post pictures from our hangouts with friends to help put faces with names for family who haven't met all our friends.  Unfortunately we are just getting used to remembering to take pictures.  However we did remember to take pictures with friends a few times this winter break!  We are making a strong effort to be more conscious of taking pictures when hanging out with friends and we will introduce them on our blog as we get those pictures!
