Catching Up- March Highlights

Family Pictures:
In the middle of March all of Chris's family gathered together in Indiana to take family pictures. It was thought to be the last time we would spend time with Sarah, Jon, and their children before they left for Japan. The morning after we arrived we heard the news of the tragic earthquake that rocked Japan. Needless to say, the earthquake changed plans dramatically. Chris ended up traveling with Jon on a relief missions trip to Japan and while they were away, Sarah and the children visited us in Ohio.

Mark Tries to Nurse Lillia...
Mark loves his baby sister. As soon as he wakes up in the morning or from a nap one of his 1st questions is "Where's Yilya?." He also tries to pick her up, give her a bottle, wipe up her spit up--- basically she's his live baby doll. Given his track record it was just a matter of time before he tried to nurse her. Here he is with my nursing cover trying to feed his little sis. He even tried to switch sides!! Hahaha!! I love these moments!!

  3. Okay, Chris... This runs in the family. When you turned 2, we got you a Cabbage patch doll. Dad was worried about giving his son a doll. We opened the box, gave you the doll and the first thing you did was lift your shirt and begin to nurse him. I told Dad that you were just bonding. You only did it once... Dad was sweating!

Why the name "Drinking From Our Saucer"?

The full phrase is "I'm drinking from my saucer because my cup is overflowing." It came from Chris's grandmother who would say it when she would get overwhelmed with her blessings. Through the years the phrase has been shortened to "I'm drinking from my saucer!" We thought it was a perfect fit for a blog that documented God's many blessings to us.
