Clay Pots ~ Spring Break


Wow, we had an eventful spring break! Here is the synopsis: Sophia sang in her first quartet, lost two teeth, and announced that a boy likes her (gasp!). We got to see our adorable new niece, Lani. During Easter, we came to the conclusion that the Easter bunny must be wealthier in America, that Grandma Steck makes the best ham in the world, and that the free zoo in Madison is awesome. During all of this, we had my Chicago college dwelling sister and then the Deering family spend the night at our house for a couple days. After which we spent a couple nights at Wisconsin Dells as a family and then went on a road trip to Chicago to visit some dear friends. Then we got to visit our church in Baraboo. Thank you Walnut Hill Bible Church for those special hugs and words of encouragement!!! And, the kids were gone for a couple days and got to fish and canoe with Grandpa and Grandma while mom and dad had a few nice days alone. Oh yeah, and Jason made me a baker’s rack. Not bad for a week and a half, hey? The conclusion to this wonderful break is that we got to hold our adorable nephew today! Samuel Pederson was born this morning via c-section weighing in at 9.6 lbs! Mom and baby are doing perfect!

We are cherishing our time here which is going by quickly, and yet preparing and waiting for the day when we will be reunited with our co-workers and the Tobo church in Papua New Guinea…

His Clay Pots,
Jason, Kellie, Micah, Sophia, and Malachi Knapp

A friend of mine from college goes to Walnut Hill in Baraboo. How great! And Lani is gorgeous...but Sammy is a little handsome one too!
