Fiona is great, she is loving life and loving people. She had a bout with a double ear infection, but you would hardly know it! She is so loving and easy going. She is enjoying Faith Christian, but in 2 weeks Gavin and Fiona will have their own "Nanny" Our dear friend Tiffany is going to be watching them full time. I can't wait to see all the fun they'll have. Fiona will head back to Faith for Pre K in 2 years.. but for know we are excited for the kids to get some quality more personal time. Claude is still doing great, he loves to go visit his girlfriend Hannah. Marcus and myself, well we feel like we are in a whirlwind. We need sleep, pray for us!
Here are the latest pictures, enjoy!
