Called to Serve....

Daniel got his mission call! He will be serving in the Cape Verde Praia Mission!! And...he will be speaking Portuguese!!

Before Daniel opened his call, he was telling us that one of his roommates just got his call to a place called Praia, Cape Verde. We were all surprised when he found out...same mission!

I thought for sure Dan was going to some kind of Korean speaking mission. I definitely had not considered he'd be going to Africa and speaking Portuguese!

We are all super excited for him! I am also very excited because Lance and I are planning to teach our children Portuguese (Lance speaks it and so does his dad). Now we are all even more motivated to learn the language. :)

 Daniel getting ready to open the call...notice all the Korean dumplings we were making?

 I thought he'd be going somewhere where they use chopsticks...

We had to get out the map!

I'm so proud of my little brother!! :)

Westminster Chamber Orchestra

Lance and I got to play in the Westminster Chamber Orchestra as community members. It was a lot of fun to go to rehearsals together and we really liked the conductor, Brandon Derfler. I played the violin, and Lance played the trumpet. (his BLUE trumpet!) Here are some pics from our concert on Monday night! If anyone is interested in joining the orchestra for fall semester, let me know and I 'll get you the info you need! :)

32 weeks pregnant!!

My mom was really excited that I was on the posters/programs. (That picture was from my first year playing in the orchestra back in 2009!)

Getting Back into the Blogging World...

Alrighty, it looks like it has been over a year since we have been on our blog! I think it's about time to change that! We started this blog while we were living in China as a way to keep our family updated (not that we really kept on top of it there either...) and now that we have a little baby girl on the way....we think it's time to get the blog back up and running!
