Getting in Touch with Old Friends

Right away we've been seeing a lot of our dear friends, Holly Yamada, her daughter Mari, and son, Sho.

Here Mari is just like a big sister to Kaitlyn as they are playing dress up.
Manhattan, Montana ~ Mari is 8 yrs. old and Sho is 7.

The kids have been such good friends ever since they were little. Holly and family have even visited us in Gillette and always keep in Such Good Touch! They are just like family. Holly's Dad and Mom, Phil and DarLynne, are also very close. We have so much in common! So much so, that a few years ago, Phil and Adam have talked about going in together on sustainable farming. And when we first moved back here to Montana, Phil flew Adam over to Oregon to look at a prospective place.

Leaving the Gallatin Valley and heading west.



The Oregon coast and the mouth of the river.

God is placing us where we need to be. And this place is overpriced and not in His plan.


The coast less than one mile away from the farm they looked at.

Phil and Adam coming back home after three days.



William and Kaitlyn have been such sweet playmates. Now that Adam has such a family friendly job, his little right-hand-man, Matthew, goes along with him as Much as Possible! But I try to keep him home so we can get some school done!
William, at 19 months, loves wearing Kaitlyn's shoes around the house. He wants to be just like his older sister. We often see him silently following her around and drinking in every move she makes.
Driving in their car.
Matthew found his skate park. He now asks to go pretty much every day. He quickly found out that he definitely needs to practice more! But he put on his roller blades and had a lot of fun.

Bozeman, MontanaKaitlyn coming over to check on William and I. We were here a very long time! And Matthew was not at all impressed when we finally did leave!Annika Swandal!! Such a cutie! My dear friend, Jaimie's daughter. Jaimie and I have know each other since junior high volleyball. And the kids have met a few times as we've visited back to Montana off an on in the past.
Annika's favorite place at the Museum of the Rockies, the sleeping baby dinosaur. Now it's ours, too! We can see it's stomach moving and hear it quietly breathing!!

God has truly given us the gold at the end of the rainbow.

Mom and Dad are letting Adam drive back and forth to work in the official pickup! They are so good to us! 
Rain, rain, rain ! Thank you Lord!

Even getting some snow up in the mountains!

This is the first place William goes Every time we go to Grandpa and Grandma's. The back yard that borders the neighbor's pasture. He really likes animals and now he can see them first-hand, and not just from picture books!


Raining again! And Adam is happy to use Dad's nice grill and Traeger wood pellet grill. So good having barbeque again! Smells so good!


Dad's 'man cave.'

Adam see many beautiful scenes on his way to work early in the morning. Here is some fog in the valley that looks as if a cloud just came down to rest.



Our little super heroes for the day.


William, too! He's never left out of the fun! God has truly answered our prayers for kids who get along and are friends to each other. Warms our hearts.
