Gigi's First Painting

We have an artist in the family and didn't even know it. Gigi has been taking art lessons from a girl at the seminary and has completed her first work. This is her teacher Miss. Alisha

Here is Gigi working hard during her art lessons.
She is very focused.














Another picture of the artist in action



















Isn't this amazing!!!!!!!! Gigi's first painting is unbelievable. Gina
and I were so proud when we saw it. Not to bad for 3 months of lessons, going only once a week.
















Here is a close up of the master-
piece.

Fun in the pool!

We just got this new pool and the kids
are loving it!!
Graham and Lydia love to play
in it together.

All the neighborhood kids like
it, too.

Been a Long Time.

We are still here and everyone is doing great. We moved
up the street to 423 Judson Dr. Our duplex is a 3 bedroom

flat , no stairs, yea. Our backyard is a huge field, the intramural field, The

kids are loving it, so are Gina and I. I am finishing up
my second semester at SEBTS. Under the pressure
of papers and finals but things are going well.

Gigi just had her birthday on April 23. She is now 10.
Time sure passes by in the twinkling of an eye.

Gigi very surprised at her present.

A new camera. She loves it.

Lydia loves to eat. She was all into Gigi's cake.

Not as much as Gigi was into the cake. A little brotherly
love from Greyson here.

Gigi also got this mic stand from Nonnie.
She loves to sing. She and Greyson play
songs all the time. Greyson is playing the Guitar.

We have many, many pics but only have
time for a few right now. Gigi is going to take over blogging so I hope we can be more frequent with our post.

Gina and I will be meeting with the IMB
next week to discuss our options for missions.
Please keep us in your prayers as we continue to be obedient
to our Lord.

We will get more pics out soon. Look at the photoshow for more pics of the kids.

Graduation

We finally made it. Graduation was May 25, 2007.
What a great time of rejoicing in what God is doing
in our life. Friends and family came from all over to
celebrate with us. I could not have done this without
the support of my beautiful wife and children.
Thanks also for all the prayers and support of
all our friends and family.

First Snow of 2007

It was a wonderful surprise for us to wake up to a winter wonderland.

Ellie was wiped out at the end of the day, as were we all. She actually fell asleep like this and stayed this way for hours.

Hope you all enjoyed the pictures, send us some comments.

The Holdens in Colonial Williamsburg

We were blessed to be able to take a couple of daysto get away and travel to Williamsburg Virginia this past weekend, 1-12 through 1-14. It was a great time, very tiring though. The kids loved it and learned some history for homeschool. We were also blessed to be able to stop by and see some old friends, Chris and Nancy Jones. It had been three years since we had seen each other so that was a sweet blessing.

In front of the Governors Palace












Graham is right where we want him.






















It really hurts.













Our carriage ride was great.












Graham keep trying to hide from the camera but I got him.












Ellie got hungry and thought the pebbles were food. This was hilarious.








Precious!








The Holdens and the Jones together again. This was a great time of fun and fellowship.
