coooookies

hey there. not much to report around here, really. just thought i'd drop in. jared (jake's little brother), his wife, and their 4 month old roman are here. it has been fun! roman is a sweet, sweet little boy. i've enjoyed having a "real" baby in the house. ha!

audrey is walking all over town and back. she's everywhere! and she's saying "moooommy" and waving bye bye. she's just the best of the best, that girl. 

finley's talking up a storm and being his wonderful self. 

jake's had a couple days off and is seeming refreshed. so good.

me... well, just doing my mom/wife thing. jake and i did do something cool at church yesterday. we met some college/young adult students who have a small group and i think we are going to start helping out! i would just love if college girls came over to my house and i could bake for them and hear about their lives. and get this.... the girls actually need at a house to meet at right now. and guess who is homebound with sleeping babies in the evenings.... WE ARE! so, it seems hopeful. i'm excited to check it out. they have a mixed group meeting on thursday nights and then on mondays they break into boys and girls groups and meet separately. since jared and ashton are here this week, we're gonna go to the big group on thursday and just check it out. you could pray for this. we really want to get involved and would love to use what we have to serve... which right now seems like an open house and our free weeknights. which seems to be a good fit. so, we'll see.

i literally just pulled out of the oven some interesting cookies.... they are lemon, blueberry, cream cheese cookies. yikes!! i'm excited to try them.... ooh la, la. 

well, just a little shorty for those who check in on us :) 

love you guys.
