Mandolin Music

David enjoys listening to me play the mandolin.

Special Flowers

While at the hospital Andrew surprised me with this beautiful bouquet of red roses and white carnations.



These flowers were from my mom when I left the hospital

David Andrew Engell III

Announcing the birth of our little boy David Andrew Engell III. He was born September 16th at 5:41 am. He was 7 lbs. 3 oz. and 20 inches long. He is such a sweet little baby and a joy to have. We praise God for His blessings.

Expectation

We are getting very excited about the approaching arrival of our baby. W are looking forward to welcoming a new little person into our family. We have been getting things ready and feel pretty prepared. Some of my family is arriving tommorrow evening and I am due this coming Monday the 24th. We would appreciate everyone's prayers.

Melissa Visits

Over the last week and a half we have enjoyed a visit from my sister Melissa, from California. She came up with Andrew's family from a family camp in Oregon, stayed with us for awhile, and yesterday we took her to the airport and she flew back to Oregon where my dad, who was up there for a music camp, picked her up.

We had such a fun time and kept pretty busy while she was here. Since Andrew has been doing so much better since just before she arrived we were able to go out to a few places. We even got a puppy and a milk goat while she was here!

She was also a big help around our place, milking the goat, gardening, doing dishes and much more.

Autumn walk

A week ago my family came up for a visit. We had a wonderful time showing them our home and around the area. These pictures are from a walk on the back of our property. Aren't the fall colors gorgeous?
