The "Abby flower"

We have some beautiful flowers blooming in our front yard but neither Robert nor I know what kind of plant it is. I like to call it the "Abby flower" because it first bloomed right around the time Abigail was born. When there are no flowers, the plant basically looks like a big dead stick. :) 

My mom has a sweet story about how lilacs always remind her of me because when she first came home with HER baby girl, it was Spring and the breeze coming through the windows smelled of lilacs. I love that.




My dear friend, Suzanne, and her husband Isaac visited us yesterday. Suzanne is a friend from Wichita State. We realized during this visit that we have been friends for 12 years! How does the time go by so fast? We were especially happy to have them visit because Suzanne and Issac usually call Germany home. They both work as teachers at Black Forest Academy but are currently spending a year back in the states. I'm crossing my fingers that the next time we see them we'll all be eating spaetzle together in Germany. Abby needs a little European culture.

Suzanne and Isaac, thanks for making time to stop by and see us! We love you!
