The Pen Team - a curious mix

MIX, MINGLE, BLEND, MERGE, COALESCE, AMALGAMATE, FUSE; they all mean to combine into a more or less uniform whole. I particularly like amalgamate, which implies the forming of a close union without complete loss of individual identities. Differences spark conflict, but they also allow us to complement and challenge each other in ways that just make life better. I marvel at how God brought us together and is making us what we are today - so different and yet a beautifully "amalgamated" family.

I was recently browsing through some old digital video clips and photos - here are some of my favorites. It just amazes me how time flies and how quickly the kids grow up.

J.J. was 3 years old in the ABC video and 4 in the Caterpillar one.

Here Grace was a day old, getting dressed to go home from the hospital. I don't know how I could handle her crying like that!

This is of Katherine (8) making Grace (7 months) laugh.

Here's J.J. feeding Grace, who is almost one year old.
