Pilgrims' Home

Well, the cry has been heard (by the readers, not just Micah) that I have been quite behind with the blog updates. We returned from the Micah World Tour last Monday, and ever since I have been trying to resettle in my office (both at home and church). It was an invigorating trip, and Micah was loved by all. He is growing rapidly, he is smiling often, and he is quite the looker. But let's get to the real deal - the photos. Here are some photos from the trip - we hope yuo enjoy. Lindsay and I are planning to take more pictures today, and we will post them later this week.

Well, there have been no posts or photos because we are on vacation (Kyle is on a work trip to Portland - sad to be away from son and mom). We return home on July 23, and we will update the pctures. Micah is growing and smiling, and proving that life is wonderful - kyle

Micah earned his wings this week on a flight to Omaha, Ne. The hometown of daddy, his grandparents and the College World Series (in honor of grandpa armfield-Go Ducks!) Last night was Grandma Small's 50th birthday, and so we had friends over for cake and playtime (there were 6 children under 6 here - I think that Micah could be an only child...) The Carlson's, Williamson's, and Bulgrins came over to celebrate. Seriously, we all had a wonderful time. Micah was able to meet his upcoming partner in sublime, Chase Porter Williamson. His dad, Jeff and Kyle grew up together at Covenant Cedars Bible Camp. I think that we will send a picture of Chase and Micah to CCBC to announce the arrival of the next generation. Micah is loving Omaha, especially his cousins and grandparents. He sleeps well (but woww, is he noisy!), and his parents sleep okay, but we are loving the help from grandma, grandpa, Kari and Eric. Connor and Carter are relatively helpful - definitely entertaining.

The report of July 4 as relayed from Micah: I love holidays - I don't have to go to work, I sit aorund - visit neighborhood pools, meet kind people, and eat my favorite foods (okay, I eat whatever my parents give me). Daddy ran a 10, that's 6.2 miles according to my new conversion calculator, and he did it while I went to the bathroom sevral times and while mom fed me. It was good to see him. During his run, I sat quietly in the stroller in my 4th of July outfit from Bryce and Carol Baker. Petra Causton - she is like a full two and three-quarters years old, WOW!, she took care of me during the race- she said that she was a babysitter - I like her. After the race, we talked with our friends, Petra's mommy and daddy, Jeff and Kris Causton, and others, and we had a great time. (By the way, Jeff and Kyle finished the race at 57:07. We spent the afternoon at the Studer's and Connie Phillip's, Kim Gallogly's mom's. We had a great time talking with new and old frie...

Well, today Micah went to worship and met his local Christian community that will raise him in the ways he should go. I must say that it was a reall blessing to see all the people, who might one day teach him sunday school, hold him in the nursery, counsel him at camp, and even play with him on the church softball team. The community called church, truly is a wonderful thing! Thanks to the many of you who check the blog from around the country (and Stockholm, Sweden!). Here is a map of the US and the states that have visitors to the blog: But enough writing, let's get to the photos. The first four are a series of pictures over the course of three minutes - oh the many faces of Micah: Micah took an evening bath, and let's just sya that these pictures are the exact opposite of what bathtime looked like - he was quite upset with daddy. Mommy even said at one point, "Are we almost done?"
