Happy Saturday

Hey all, Steph, Josh and I are doing well. Stephanie is closer than ever to giving birth to Miriam who is very excited to come out!! However, she's only 34 1/2 weeks along right now, so please pray that she stays in for a few more weeks. Steph and I have been doing the same type of stuff save the getting ready for baby, however Josh does new things every day! He's been talking quite a bit, saying words like on, off, blue, dog, hello, & Josh. That's just a sample, but a new one comes out everyday. The other day I was installing some cabinet locks and Josh came out with his toy hammer to help ole dad. He's been so fun lately and we can't wait to double our fun! So, that's about all from here we'll be sure to update you on the Miriam situation as soon as we can.

Love,
Dave, Steph, Josh & Miriam

Help, I'm melting!

Hey all, it's pretty hot!! So, here's a link to cool you down.Ice Cream Trucks! An ice cream truck just passed
by my window....Josh and I both looked up to see it and Stephanie said that we both had the same expression...possibly deep longing for ice cream :-)

All has been well, Stephanie is almost in her 30th week of pregnancy
and we're eagerly waiting Miriam's arrival. I think Miriam is also
eagerly waiting her arrival...she goes crazy in there (maybe she's
hot and wants ice cream too).

Dave's almsot finished with school for the semester...two more
weeks and three papers to go! For next semester I'll be taking
off for when Miriam gets here.

That's about all...I'll let you know when there's more.

Love,
Dave,Steph, Josh & Miriam

Dave & Steph's 4 year wedding anniversary!

Hey all, a quick note. Steph and I are going to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary today going to Ernesto's, in Plymouth, Michigan. We
hope to have a good time tonight...we got a sitter for Josh and are thinking about listening to music in a nearby park or seeing a movie after.

Love you all!
Dave, Steph, Josh & Miriam

Josh is 1!

Hey all, sorry for the lag time in postings... we've been really busy
lately. Steph has been busy with Josh and his birthday and keeping
the house together. Dave has been busy with a paper on the computer
system management class and also working on the other class.

Anyway we just celebrated Josh's first birthday on June 12th (his
actual birthdate) at our house and on June 18th at Stephanie's
parents house along with a few others. Everyone had a great time
both at our house party and Steph's parents.

Steph and I have been dealing with all the noisy toys that all of
you have been buying us!! But he find a way to make noise
no matter what, right now he banging pans in the kitchen!

OK, so I lied--it's now the next day on this post, Steph and I
went to church this morning, I (dave) worked on the paper
I have and then we went to a baptism celebration
for church and then I finished the paper!!

So, I'll hope to talk with all of you soon.

Love
Dave, Steph, Josh & Miriam

Happy Memorial Day

Hey all, happy Memorial day! Steph, Dave & Josh
just got back from a memorial day picnic that our
church held. We have some great news about
Josh, today he took a few steps...about 5 to go
after a ball. We expect in a few days Josh will
be running all over the place!

Dave's busy taking two classes trying to finish
his MBA at Lawrence Tech Univ. Currently
he's taking a class about unions and computer
information systems.

Steph's been busy getting Miriam's room
put together. We're not sure how we'll
decorate, but Steph is sure there will be
PINK!

Still trying to upload pictures....we're
sending out pictures on a periodic email
so if you want some pics in the meantime
let us know and we'll put you on the distrib
list!

Love,
Dave, Steph, Josh & Miriam

May Day!

Hey all! Just writing to give a quick update on what's going on lately.
Steph and I have been working on the house's outside trying to make
it look less plain. We've washed the front, got a new mailbox, and
started to scrape off paint that was coming off...very exciting I know!

Dave's starting school (again) and will be taking two classes at
Lawrence Tech Univ. This is to finish my MBA hopefully in
May of 06.

Steph's belly is getting bigger everyday as Miriam is about
22 weeks along now.

And for the cuisine section, tonight Steph made a rhubarb
pie from our garden (just the rhubarb, not the pie)...*yummy*

Serenity--Movie coming out in September

Here's a link to a movie that Steph and I are pretty excited about! Serenity
This was based off a TV show from a few years ago called "Firefly"

This isn't really any type of post that we'll normally do, but
just trying out this functionality on the blog.

The Inagural Post!

Hey all! This is our first post, I hope it finds you all well. Right now Josh isn't

feeling well and he's having trouble sleeping (what else is new?).

Hopefully this will be a good way to keep in touch with everyone, we're new

to this blogging thing, so perhaps this will get better as we go! Still trying

to figure out how to get pictures on here so you'll get all the latest Josh

updates and coming soon (Sept. 21st according to the doc) we'll have

exclusive Miriam pictures!

The nice thing about this is that you can comment on the posts we make,

but you have to register with the blogger first. We look forward to

sharing with you all!

Love Dave, Steph, Josh, and Miriam
