Thank you brooke and jordan!!

i'm sorry! for some reason i thought you all went in on the pack and play! I thought it was a little weird that your names were not on the card, but thought "oh well they forgot to sign their names!" But today in the mail we received the most ADORABLE outfit!! it's for a 6 month old which will put her at 6 months around sarah's wedding!! how appropriate! I will post pics of it soon! I miss you guys and can't wait to see you in August!!

Love Jeff and Apryl

PS. RYAN i must tell you Jeff is fetching in pink. we got you a shirt too :)) And the pull over is still sitting at our house! I think he's claimed it as his own now. :)

Wedding Plans

Hello Fam-Damily!

Just wanted everyone to know that Don and I are planning an autumn wedding in ARKANSAS. That is where he is from and the area is beautiful. It is in the North West corner of the state near Bella Vista and Rogers. So start saving your pennies!

I will post more info when I have some.

Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk...

 

Sarah Hostetler

Where's Waldo?

Here I am. It just took me about 30 minutes to catch up on everything. Congrats Sarah! Congrats Jordan! Great bumper sticker Dave! Way to survive the shower Apryl! Good luck on your college entrance test results Brooke! Looking forward to seeing the NC Hostetler family come August! Where was Jeff's pink shirt? I've always thought pink was his favorite color! No wonder my dad is always trying to cheat at cards, he got it from that cheating grandma of ours! Cheating at a baby shower, whats next?

Now to me: Go back to my last blog entry about two months ago and read that. Now your caught up!

Oh ya, Apryl tell that husband of your its almost golf season so that pull over better be finding its way back my way.

Hope all is well with everyone!

Thank you Anita, Brooke, and Jordan, for the Pack and Play!!!! We were so excited!! I'm sorry you couldn't be there, but knowing you wanted to be is great! I hope we can see you this summer, so cousins can meet!!

Love and miss you all!
