Still Here

This is a picture of Bekah in the Morris Chair in her blessing dress. We have a picture just like this of Jason's Grandmother in this chair in her blessing dress as an infant. What a family heirloom. We love this chair, and the baby.
Her blessing dress was made by a close family friend. Thanks, Mary-Ann!

We had some pictures taken of our family about a year ago.
Though they don't include our newest addition,
we think they turned out great.


This is a picture of Jason with Monica Nassif and Thelma Meyer. (She is the real Mrs. Meyer) Jason loved working with Monica and Thelma and all the other friends at Caldrea. He learned a lot there and will really miss them.

We made it through our exciting summer and we are doing good. Life has been so busy for us these days.The high schooler, the middle schoolers and the Elementary schooler, and the baby. Many activities and running all over. We are enjoying our chaos.
We made it to the Wisconsin State Fair this summer where the kids enjoyed a famous WI State Fair cream puff. These things are huge. James' face is no exaggeration.

Jason is serving as our Ward Mission Leader and we are loving having the Elders and Sisters over often. We have 3 sets of missionaries serving in our ward. His job and his church calling are keeping him very busy.


The neighborhood is great and very friendly with many children in the neighborhood. We are finally feeling like our house is getting organized and put together.
Jason enjoys his job most days. He has had a record year for Off! as the mosquitos were out of control this summer. For most people, that is not a good thing, but for us it ROCKS!
We took a trip out to Idaho in August to bless Bekah. We got to see so many wonderful family members who made a trip to be with us on this special day.
My mom made these adorable shoes for Bekah. She wore them for her blessing.

We need to get some more pictures of Bekah, but here are a few of our favorites. I will try to write often now and I am going to make my blog public again to make it easier to access. Thanks for checking in on us.

4 Generations. Grandma Lindsay, Shirley Wallace, Kerri Allen and Bekah Don Allen.
