New pictures (finally)

Hi everyone.

It's been a busy few weeks and we finally got around to posting some new pictures. We've had fun these last few weeks - we had a birthday party for Grandpa Hymas, we've gone to the zoo and to Apple Holler, we walked in a fundraiser for Children's Hospital, we've been on bike rides, we celebrated Emily's first birthday, we've played with Grandma when she came to visit, and we've gone to the Jelly Belly factory. We hope you'll enjoy all these fun pictures.

Things are going well. Jason keeps really busy with school and this year has been quite a bit harder than last year, but he is enjoying his classes and doesn't complain (too much). Amy keeps busy with Chelsey and Emily and is a great mommy and wife. Chelsey is getting cuter every day and loves to wear her Sleeping Beauty dress (she wears it all day, every day). Emily is ONE! She is really close to walking, but still a little scared to venture out on her own.

It was fun to have Grandma Merrill come out and visit for a few days and we played (and shopped) a lot! We got to go to the Jelly Belly factory and Apple Holler and we had a lot of fun.

We miss all of you and can't wait to see you at Christmas! Thanks for everything you do for us - for all the prayers and thoughts that you say and think for us. We love you!

Jason, Amy, Chelsey, and Emily
