Last week we attended the Festival of Family Farms here in Skagit county with some good friends of ours from church, the Kirkmans (or the “Kirk-a-mans” as Guenna so dearly calls them, they are not “friends, they are the Kirk-a-mans). We had such a great time with them and they came over, with their seven […]

Well some of our dear friends have had babies this week. Jeff and Marisa just had a sweet little girl, Chloe Nicole. She is just absolutely beautiful. Congratulations you guys, great job!!

And our good friends Doug and Carol had their little girl Amina Grace on Friday. She is so sweet and you can tell that […]

We have a dear brother in the Lord, Barry Sindlinger, who is in real need of prayer and we would like to ask you all to join us in praying for him and his family. Barry is the music director at our church, concert pianist/composer, and his job is music director at the Christian school […]

Today one of our little friends came over for the morning. The kids were SOOOO excited about having her over. Eamon wanted to keep her. He asked me, “mommy, is she going to stay here forever?” I replied, “no hon, she has a family and she is just staying with us for today.” “But I […]

Aidan and Ellie bowling with the Wii from Christian Burns on Vimeo.
Aidan and Ellie bowling with the Wii - although this looks like a one-sided game, like many guy vs. girl video games end up being. I think Ellie would much rather play house :)

Head over to Tam and San’s blog to see the new developments in their lives.

My friend Rana came over yesterday with her two kids. They mostly played while we worked, but Aidan did help a little :) She was so nice to offer to come help me, she pounded some nails for me and also held up the siding while I drilled it in. And I should mention she’s […]

Our good friends Chris and Robin Webberley gave birth to their second little boy early yesterday morning. Judah surprised them. Robin was scheduled for a repeat C-section early this week when her water broke two nights ago so they got to see him early, what an added blessing! He’s beautiful you guys, can’t wait to […]

I am sitting in my chair, my littlest is sleeping on the couch next to me, my three little (older) ones are all asleep in their beds, my husband just left for work about an hour ago after taking care of us all morning, and my mother is mopping my desperate dining room floor. How […]

I don’t know if you remember my post back in October for this sweet little girl who had major heart surgery. She did awesome and recovered quickly and well. And then on January 1st, just a couple days ago, her heart just stopped beating and they weren’t able to revive her. My heart just feels […]

Dave and Ari and their sweet little girls are good friends of the Burns family. Lst Thursday Ari came over and blessed me tremendously with her organizational skills! We finally got the last of the boxes (that are in the house)unpacked, organized my utility room, organized and got into rubbermaid tubs all of my baby […]

A couple weeks ago we got to go to some friends house and join a bunch of other families to make homemade apple cider. It was so much fun! We ate a ton of food, had great fellowship and we all got to take home a few gallons of cider. I think there were about […]

Another prayer request for you guys. A friend of a friend and an aquaintance of ours has a little girl who needs prayer. Their little girl Jaime is going to be having surgery on October 10th, the ventricles in Jaime’s heart are switched and they are going to be switching them back on the 10th. […]

This weekend was the Festival of Family Farms in Skagit Valley. I went to a ladies meeting with a friend of mine while our husbands took (collectively) four of our children to visit some of the farms. From the pictures it looks like they had a wonderful time, but how can you go wrong with […]

We are so excited to hear of all the good progress that our friend’s grandson Kyran is making. You can read the details at Jana’s Journal. She got to nurse him for the first time yesterday and they may get to take his feeding tube out today or tomorrow. I know that there have been […]
