2007 marked the true development of the relationship between Lexi and Cate. When we found out at our 21 week ultrasound that we were having a girl, I cried, WITH JOY, that Lexi would have the gift of a sister and a pal, buddy, confidant, that I, an only girl in a family with two brothers never knew, but saw in my mom and her sisters and my cousins and their sisters. I was thrilled that Lexi and Cate would have that unique experience that would carry them as not only family members, but as friends. We have seen this develop over the year. It is a beautiful thing!
Cate was Dedicated at our church - Bangor Baptist - What a blessing she is and what a blessing to have a church stand behind us and support us as her parents.
This is just an example of the many adventures and fun we had all year - and one of the reasons why we've come to love calling Maine 'home'.
Jay was contacted by a recruiter for the State of Minnesota in November. We prayed that God would open or close the door regarding the new job possibility and massive move our family would again have to do. This time, the door was closed. We didn't feel a loss - but a true gain, as we were assured that it truly was in the Lords hands. We are so thankful for answered prayer!
I'm so thankful for a wonderful year. It had it's ups and downs, but the things that make it in our blog truly reflects our lives - day in and day out. It's so much fun to share it with everyone. Most of all, it's a blessing to be able to look back at what we as a family have experienced in a year. Thank you Lord, for your faithfulness, your grace and your leading hand. Lead and guide us as a family through the upcoming year!

We are constantly reminded of the 'surprises' we experience living in Maine - namely those revolving around the weather. The photos above were taken within a week of each other. In chronological order.
