MALACHI starts Kindergarten in August 2014.  He is thriving in Preschool, and loves church Sunday School.  Peer interaction and routine are helping him achieve all he is capable of.  Malachi continues to progress slowly, and we are SO proud of him!!  Malachi is such a joy in our lives and brings life to many people.  It is an honor to be his parents.

DADDY continues to thrive at South Fellowship Church, holding down the bookkeeping & finances for the ministry.  I get to play on the worship team 2x a month, and practice regularly with a worship team named “Audible Faith Project.”  AFP has lead worship for a few services and a Men’s retreat.  More opportunities are surfacing for the group, and exciting things are in the future for AFP.  In addition to working for South Fellowship, I also have the privilege to work for some amazing people & businesses doing Bookkeeping & Accounting – Never Settle, Phillips Enterprises & Top Shelf Remodel.

We got a little behind on posting blogs at the end of the summer–sorry!  We had a wonderful summer.  Last summer, Malachi still wasn’t walking, so our time outside was limited.  This summer however, we played a lot!  Here are some highlights:

Happy Birthday Malachi!!!

10/04/2012

Malachi Aleksandar Phillips turned 4 yesterday!  We are so proud of him.  2 years ago, he didn’t have a family, now he is rooted, loved and thriving.  Yesterday we celebrated as a family, and enjoyed a local, indoor play place called Excite.  We had a blast!!

 

After Excite, we had pizza, a home-made brownie cake, and presents!!  So much fun.  Thank you Grandma’s and Grandpa’s for the gifts–we all enjoyed it!

Omaha Zoo – Day 1

Megan and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary last weekend!!  We decided to take a weekend trip to Omaha to go to the zoo.  We had a BLAST!!  The zoo was super fun (we ended up going for 2 days!), but the best part was seeing the boys enjoy a whole new world.  We’re so thankful they are with us!
