Last Sunday was my first Father's Day being a dad. It was very cool. Jaynie made a really nice little photo book of the pregnancy and Lydia's first six months. It has been an awesome first (half) year and I look forward to many more Father's Days.

Here are a couple of photos of Lydia from last Sunday. She's not able to crawl yet, but she has no problem pulling herself up when we hold our hands out to her. Here she is excited to be standing tall.

In other news, we are packed up and ready to drive out to California. We are praying for a safe drive and that we will end up where we can best serve the Lord.

Lydia did not enjoy packing. Apparently she greatly dislikes the noise made by packing tape coming off the roll. She may have had more meltdowns today than she has had in the rest of her life combined, which basically means she had three meltdowns. Here are the boxes.

We will be driving out in a couple of days and will try to update the blog from the road.

Have a great weekend!
