american gothic....pregnant style





grant wood (an iowa artist!) never did show us the lower half of the woman pictured in "american gothic" looked like.....and so, this halloween, i'm assuming she's pregnant. =) for our student ministries' costume party, brent and i went as these 2 well known charcters. it was a lot of fun. too bad you can't see his hair in this shot very well; i had a great time putting a big latex cap on his head and then cutting and gluing small pieces of dark gray hair onto his little bald head. after i finished, i told brent that i prayed he would never look like this. but then i decided, who am i kidding? he would be adorable either way.

ziggy is about 26 weeks old!

no wonder i can feel our little man movin' and kickin' so much! check out what he looks like now!.....but a little.....shorter, i imagine....(1 jewish mom + 1 shorter--yet adorable--dad=a non-basketball playing munchkin).

praise God for giving us a crib!!

a dear friend has been gracious enough to give us her crib! it's so beautiful! thank you, friend! =)

by the way, this is a picture of the crib as it sits in her house. not to worry; we'll take away some pink and add some.....rock star.....=)

daddy to be



these pictures were taken when millie was just a tiny fuzz ball. i love them though because they've always made me think about brent as a daddy. he's gonna be a GREAT one (and in just a few months!); just look at that face! =) Posted by Picasa
what better place to put a hand-drawn picture of brent than on theklontzkibitz? this fine sketch was on an abandon bulletin one sunday morning after brent had preached. i love it. =) Posted by Picasa

Brent and i were recently in a wedding of two good friends, craig and becca. it was a joy for us as the honorary "orange couple" (everyone was a different color) to be part of such an important day. uncle craig and auntie becca (as mildred knows them) are such great people; can't wait to see how God uses them to bring him glory now as married couple. (yay for marriage!)
