And so is my amazing wife. After 2 LOOONG weeks in El Paso, they have returned home like the salmon of Capistrano. Feels so good to have them back. Boys are running around faster than before and talking more. I've been getting really good hugs from them both the last day. Just here to post some vids, enjoy! But before we leave you, some really awesome news. My trip to the Dominican Republic has been fully funded! You guys rock, such an amazing blessing to go and you all are a part of it. Got a lot of thank you notes to write now, I hate writing, but these will be the some of the best letters I've had the opportunity to write.
OK...the vids...
1. Spaghetti Face - Jordan got a piece of pasta stuck on his face, and he kept turning trying to find it.
2. Jeremy Dance - Jeremy came up with this flailing arm dance on his own. Kinda reminds me of the Bushwhacker's dance from the WWE.
3. The boys get so happy when the ice cream truck passes by...just imagine how happy they'll be when they actually get to have some ice cream!
4. Mmmm...ketchup - The boys saw us dipping at dinner one time and now they are ketchup fiends. Anything that can be dipped will be dipped...even their own fingers.

About a year ago...
We just got some pictures in the mail from the lady who has been photographing Holly and the boys for the Texas Department of State Health Services. The boys and momma have been modeling for her since the second day the boys escaped from the womb. There are some REALLY COOL pics of the boys in the latest batch...too many to scan in and share online. So you'll have to come over if you want to see them all. I don't think the boys actually made it into print this time, I don't know why...maybe they wanted to give other kids a chance so they wouldn't feel so bad. Kind of like in tee ball where everyone gets to play and wins a participation ribbon. Anywho, it reminded me that it was about this time last year when Holly and the boys were on the cover of the Texas WIC News magazine.
Here are just a few pics from the boys' photo shoot earlier this year for the State's breastfeeding campaign in August this year.

Dominican Republic Missions Trip
I am unbelievably excited to be heading to the Dominican Republic in August. Hopefully you all already got the letter about the missions trip. There are many teams from Austin Stone Community Church heading out this summer, about 12 trips and 150 people! I am blessed to be heading out with folks I work with behind the scenes at the Stone in the Audio Visual Lights and Camera crew. We are heading out to assist with the ongoing efforts of Makarios there in the DR. (Read more about Makarios HERE.)
The total cost for the week long trip is $1500. The first $750 is due by this Friday, the 18th. I need tons of support financially, but most of all...I need your prayers. Prayers for me to stay focused on my own personal prayer and study time, prayer for all the teams heading out this summer and prayer for all the paths we will cross. Praying the God will work wonders through us all and lift His people in the DR up.
If you did not receive a letter from me, don't fret! You can read/print it out right HERE. Please pray about it and if you can, send in the support card right away. We got our first pre-training meeting this Friday night. Will keep you all updated on preparation.
