summersilkFun! 
jodyNeat! Did you talk to them at all? 
snickers63Catching up with this entry and the last... had to learn all over again with Ems to leave clearance - had not needed to leave clearance in .... what... 11 years? Actually, leaving clearance was not my worry....I was just proud of myself for NOT leaving the baby!!! 
shandaYears ago I had a friend that was dating a "Mennonite" guy. I was floored when I went to their house and their family really looked like Mennonites. These boys drank A LOT and partied alot and dressed just like us. 
shandaI couldn't believe they came from a conservative Mennonite family. 
mr_and_mrs_berryexcellent activity on a hot hot day. 
heycatHi ya, how fun. I can vividly imagine your girls jumping and splashing in the water. Reminds me a rain storm not long ago. :) Missing you all. 
mr_and_mrs_berryHi Amy. I don't know your email and I'll bet I'll be outside if you call, but Wed. anytime is fine. If you get on the computer, email us through the website though I think you may have to sign up and then do comments. C and L have dental appts. in the a.m. but I'll be here. Bring over the cousins too if you want and pick some berries to take home. :) We'd love to see you. 
mamaladyThat sounds great! We'd love to have you. Let us know what sounds fun. We can do some stuff together or you guys can run around and do whatever you wish. I'm sure the Berries will be tickled to have you come over there: ) 
autumn_rainOhhhh yay you are coming to see us!!! I can't wait!!! Love you guys!!! Oh I am SO looking forward to seeing you david and y'all sweet dear girls!!! 
mamaladyDon't worry about bringing food: ) I'll prepare food for us. You just concentrate on enjoying the time to do some things. I don't mind a bit; ) 
mamaladyMeaning "us" including you guys, too! 
lastoflakewoodAww, Tristan, I wish I could visit up there and see all of you guys. 
holly_ann:) Thanks! 
megThat sounds fun! And I can see you doing that! :D 
marlaCheck this out. Heehee. 
lromaniccan't wait to see you Wed. evening! 
mamaladyLet us know when to expect you: ) Looking forward to it. 
olivianfun, 
olivianThanx for updating me to your friends list. 
stinait's too neat. they have at least four couches. two of them and three chairs are in the living room. off of the living room are a formal and an informal dining rooms, each with at least one table and many chairs. with over 20 people at the house to drink tea there were enough chairs and room to accomodate them all in the living room in one, big circle. the bathroom on the main hallway is a proud favorite of stephen's. he splurged an extra $15 or $20 to get a bronze-look curtain rod and an iridescent, chocolate brown shower curtain. the kitchen is very new looking and has all matching, stainless steel appliances. (although, the fridge is faux, plastic steel and stephen is debating getting a real steel one.) the parlor is the first door off the entryway and provides a great place to throw purses and have private conversations away from the crowd. they are proudly displaying the painting of david's - albeit on the floor leaned against the wall. anyways, it's great. 
snickers63Trade you - picture of Emma and Nana for a picture of your family like the one on Nana's fridge!!!! 
snickers63(Check your mother's email!!) 
enyekThe whole Amish thing is really interesting to me.. I mean, we think of them as so quaint, etc., yet they are real people just like us, I think sometimes we (me?) think of them as being fundamentally different. And what we see as so quaint, is actually due to their practice of a false religion, right? I have a hard time with that. How fascinating - I would love to know what they think of us.. from what i understand they think of outsiders as "the English". I am interested to hear any of conversation/studies your parents have with them. Hopefully, I don't know how open the Amish are generally, although I know God can reach their hearts too - even through their extreme lifestyle. It's very neat your parents live so close to them. 
megI've been thinking about you guys! Yes, i've smacked CJ around more than Evan, I think, because it's been so long and I'm not as nervous this time. Poor babies!

srhollyHey Amy! I hope ya'll are doing well. I got a user name so that I can keep up with ya'll. I hope you add me to your friends list soon so I can track what's going in with ya'll. Take care! 
raifhausYes! If I know you I'll be glad to approve you to view more content on this blog :) Thanks for enjoying my family life as much as I do (usually!) 
raifhaussrholly, I can't guess who you are... give me a hint!! 
lastoflakewoodHope all the moving/packing is progressing smoothly! Do you know exactly where you will be living yet? 
ewalkerDo you know him? Aren't y'all in kinda the same place...? :) 
onelittlecandleI miss reading your blogs! Would you be willing to re-add me to your friends list? I kept seeing your screen name show white but it was always the same blog...I must be slow...took me a while to figure it out. :-) 
srhollyHi Amy, it's Stacey H, Adam K-B's friend. I got your message the other day. I am still new at this and didn't know how to respond to it other than to do it here. Maybe I will learn how to use this better as time goes by. 
belleSame here! :) I would like to be added, if you will! I love reading your updates! :) 
twoI miss reading this blog. Could we have an occasional "non-private" post? Just kidding; I understand completely. Most people are good, but they aren't the ones you have to worry about. Since I don't know you and never will, I won't ask you to add me. (That would be foolish of you, and defeat the purpose of the private entries.) I just want to tell you that I have enjoyed reading your posts in the past, and to wish you the best in the future. 
outofafricaHey David & Amy. This is Adam, at long last. I've created a new accout, I'm now "outofafrica," and am trying to use this thing so I can keep ini touch with you. When you have a minute, could I be added to your blog? I'd love to chat from time to time. That is, if I can find you again on here. It's not very user friendly but I'm trying. Hope ya'll are well. Love to the girls from Mr. Adam. Cheers for now. 
razzamy, it's melissa moore... i stayed with you at FC when I came down to visit before I attended there... I love the pictures of your girls, they're so beautiful... could I be added to your blog when you get a minute? Thanks 
luvnjamsorry, I wasn't following directions. I should have been a little creative. Can you guess why I love jam?
