Julia's dance class photo!

Julia and Ethan were in the small town of Willard's Fourth of July parade for our church! They loved being in it, but when it was done were very sad that they didn't get to watch the parade.
Julia and Ethan figured out how to ride their new bikes in one day!! They are unstoppable now!

This is our front yard!

Blowing out the candles for his 3rd birthday! June 29, 2008

I am excited to share all that is going on here. Everyone has done so well with the transition of moving and getting to know each other. I will start out with introducing my husband Chris Erbe to anyone that doesn't know we got married July 12th of this year. We moved from Springfield to Lincoln, AR while the children were out with their Dad and Kathryn. They had a nice summer with them and came home to our new home here. JC had about 2 weeks before school started to get settled and comfortable and was ready for school. He attends Lincoln Elementary and his teacher is Mrs Winningham. He rotates through different classes and teachers throughout the day so doesn't see her much. He likes school and has made lots of acquaintances. He has a classmate right next door that he enjoys playing with. Julia has done fabulously here, she loves being outside and playing on the new swingset that Chris' grandparents purchased for us, thanks Grandma and Grandpa! Ethan has grown two inches in a month. He loves playing on the swings and in the sandbox! Julia and Ethan are taking a tumbling class and love it! Ethan can do sommersaults like a pro and is learning how to make those long legs of his stretch out and balance. Julia has almost perfected the cartwheel and both of them love to hang on the bar. JC has started martial arts and is looking forward to learning more. Cub scouts is starting up again now too and he is very excited for that as well.
We have loved going to the lake with our new friends Garry and Tina and their daughters Eb and Augusta. Augusta is Julia's best friend. They are two peas in a pod. Ethan is doing really well in the water now and will swim a little in the lake now which is great. We have enjoyed going to family barbecues, hanging out at new friends houses and going out for breakfast on Saturday mornings! We have a great ward that is brand new with a large primary. The children enjoy it very much. Ethan is the best behaved child in nursery and he loves to go to class.
We all enjoyed celebrating our wedding with an open house in Springfield with Beth's friends and family and then a fancy ring ceremony and reception here in Arkansas. The kids were absolutely beautiful all dressed up and JC as the ring bearer, Julia as the flower girl and Ethan as the leader of the procession.
