Welcome Liliana Grace


On Memorial Day weekend we were also able to visit with our good friends Matt and Kristy and their new addition Liliana Grace. This adorable little peanut weighed only 5lbs. 11oz. when she was born and we were able to get to meet her only a few days later. So sweet. Congratulations Matt and Kristy!

Memorial Day Weekend

We spent Memorial Day weekend in Chicago with Chris' family. We were able to spend time with Grandpa and Grandma Petersen, Aunt Karen and Uncle Bill and Chris's cousin, Meredeth, who lives in Colorado. On Sunday we spent the day at Opa and Grandma Borchert's farm and took in the Elmhurst parade on Monday. It was a packed weekend but really so much fun. Now we just need a vacation to recoup from our weekend away!

Last 2 Months

Carson at 5 months-old weighs 16lbs. 2oz. He has two upper incisor teeth (kind of strange, he looks like a little vampire), is rolling front to back and back to front, started solids and still isn't sleeping through the night. He is super easy-going and always smiling...such a little sweetie.
First taste of veggies....green beans.

Easter was spent at the TeBrake household. Lane enjoyed her first Easter egg hunt and of course spending any time with her cousins, aunties and uncles and Grandma and Papa.






Loving it up with Auntie M and one of Lane's best buddies, Annie.






Papa.....overcome by the excitement of the day :)



Lane and Carson have become quite the buddies. Bath time is no exception!























For some reason, Carson really likes his sister's bed. He loves to help get Lane up in the morning and from her nap. Most of all he enjoys lounging in it....often much to Lane's dismay.









We took the kid's to Tulip Time in Holland this year. We only have one picture because our camera ran out of batteries....of course. It was packed with people but we had a great time. Lane loved the Kinderplaats and is still talking about getting to pet a snake, jumping on all of the giant inflatable toys and her favorite; getting a tattoo on her hand. Ahhh, the simple pleasures.
This has been a busy past 2 months for us. We have our house on the market and our hope is to move back to Holland. We have had plenty of showings and an open house, but no such luck yet. We continue to work on keeping an open mind and knowing it's God's plan, not ours. We'll keep you updated.

Like Mom, Like Dad


This is role-play in action. Can you guess which parental figure each of our kids is mimicking? And can you also guess who stuck our 4-month-old in a seat in front of a hockey game and took a picture?
