New Addition To The Shepherd Household

Little ZoeGirl (named after the
Christian Rock Band ZoeGirl-meaning
life-eternal life) joined our family

ZoeGirl is trying to learn our language!

Grandma and Grandpa's Visit

Grandma and Grandpa couldn't wait
to get down to Santee to visit little Van
(and Kenny and Jen!). Van is 2 1/2 mo.

Grandpa and Van are bonding.

Now, does this face show

determination or what!!

I think Van likes his new teddy bear!
