Hospital Field Trip

A couple weeks ago some of us toured the Selmer hospital with some of our little friends.

Our first stop was the ambulance

Mrs. Polyanna did a GREAT job teaching the children!

They all really enjoyed this field trip...

...and were very attentive!

We are SO behind on blogging!!!

Here are some pictures from our Christmas with Steven, Anna, and Eva after they got back from visiting Steven's family over the Christmas Holidays.

Having a baby in the family is so fun!

We were babysitting some of our cousins that night.  Here is Tyler holding Eva

All of our little cousins love Eva!

She is so adorable!
