“The submission of one’s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God’s altar. The many other things we ‘give’ … are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.”

Our Cutie!

How can you not take pics of a smile like that? I love this little boy! These were taken the week Shayne's dad was in visiting. The bottom two are of Margie and Jacob Brown. They are a great family in our ward that we refer everyone to for halibut fishing. We have been out with them numerous times and have always done well and been impressed with this family. We love them! They love Lachlan! It's a great combination!!

Here's an example of what a great family they are:
On Tuesday, June 16th we took our visitor's to Homer to check out the town. It's about 1 1/2 hours south of where we live. We left later than normal, and so by the time we were ready to leave, it was about 10pm. However, the truck was making a funny noise in the tire, and after further inspection we discovered the wheel bearing had gone out. Yup...stuck in Homer 1 1/2 hours from home at 10:30 at night. We weren't sure what to do, but we knew that if we called the Brown's they would come get us. That's the kind of family they are...and that's the sort of relationship we have with them...they are family. So, I called, and Lanie (mom) and two of her boys (Eldon and Jacob) drove down, picked us up at around midnight, got us home around 1:30 am, and then they drove the 15 minutes back to their own house, only to get up at 6am and drive 3 hours to Anchorage the next day.

Can you say amazing family? Yeah. We love them!

I'll post pics of Shayne and the others out on their boat catching halibut later.
