Well the summer quickly got away from us after our family vacation in Florida. We came back and immediately made the move to Indianapolis for Daddy's new job. The Lord has been good and we are thankful for the opportunity to be closer to family and to serve in a new place where God has placed us. Upon arriving as always...Labor Day Weekend comes too fast. We had a wonderful time in Virginia for the Interstate Church of God Softball Tournament. The Lord blessed another great turnout of church teams for the tournament, as well as, a great offering to give to the mission field in Paraguay, South America and good weather!! Praise the Lord!! Thanks to all of you for your prayers and support for the mission work in Paraguay. Kate and Kinley loved being with Grammy, Papaw, Aunt Brooke, Uncle Tony and all the cousins! Due to Daddy's new job we were able to stay an extra day and be with family which was wonderful! We thank God for great weather and lots of church softball. Thanks to all our family for all their work with the tournament!!

Well it has been a few weeks....we were blessed to have the chance to go to Florida to visit Disney on Kate's 4th Birthday with Grandpa & Grandma Cole and Gigi & Pap! We were then able to go over to Siesta Key to be with Grammy & Papaw, Uncle Tony & Aunt Brooke and cousins...Tate, Mateya, Tregan and Mia. We had a wonderful vacation and cannot thank all our family enough for the wonderful memories that were made!

Kate and Kinley loved being in Orlando to start the trip...we had a great time with Grandpa and Grandma and Gigi and Pap visiting Disney. A special thanks to Gigi for watching Kinley!! Uncle Gary & Aunt Pam were wonderful and so helpful during our day at Disney (thanks Uncle Gary & Aunt Pam!). Kate loved all the rides, but she really enjoyed meeting Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White and many other Disney favorites!! She was able to wear a button that said it was her birthday and she had many people throughout the day stop to wish her a Happy Birthday! We loved being with Grandpa and Grandma Cole and Pap the whole day. What a special memory....and one that Mom and Dad will never forget!!

After our time in Orlando, we headed to Siesta Key to be with Papaw and Grammy Briscoe, Uncle Tony & Aunt Brooke and all our cousins. We had a wonderful time on the beach and at the pool each day. We took in many of the sights, but just enjoyed being LAZY! Kate and Kinley had a great time with the cousins and Tate & Mateya are becoming great big cousins who can watch the little ones. A special thanks to all the Briscoe and Holterman family for a wonderful time together too.

Kinley Mae Briscoe - Born June 3, 2010

Welcome to the world Kinley...we love you!

A head full of hair just like big sister Kate.

We thank God for Kate & Kinley!

Hi Everybody!

Halloween too much fun.

I love going to Grace games with Mommy and Kate.

We thank the Lord for Kinley...Happy Birthday!

June 3, 2011! How fast 1 year goes by...we thank God everyday for the blessing of Kate and Kinley being added to our family, but we reflect today as we celebrate the birth of Kinley Mae Briscoe on June 3, 2010. So many wonderful memories have taken place since June 3, 2010. The addition of another little one to our family has been special, it has been so much fun to watch big sister Kate interact, love, support, and smother her little sister. We thank the Lord for the opportunity to raise Kinley and appreciate all the love and support from our entire family and friends. Kinley is (walking) taking steps...a few at a time now. She can show you with her finger how old she is, she loves to clap her hands and shake her head when a song comes on the radio. She has a smile that lights up a room and a tender spirit. We pray God will continue to watch over her day and night and may Kinley come to love and accept the Lord in her heart as she grows in her knowledge of the Lord. You all know we will promise to raise her to be a Kansas Jayhawk and Grace Lancer fan! Ha! We will have her 1 year old party with family tomorrow...but today June 3rd...we thank God for this wonderful day and for bringing Kinley into this world to make a difference! Happy Birthday Kinley...we love you! Love, Mom, Dad and Kate.
