Breianna forever!

Hey all:
Our new daughter Breianna is here to stay! All we need to do now is file the legal paperwork and she is legally ours forever! We are very excited as Brei has been with us now almost two weeks now--here is a picture of the proud papa with baby!!

Love from the Mtn,
Tom, Shelly, and Breianna

My first Confirmand--sort of!

Hey Guys,
This is a picture of Kelsey and me at her confirmation. It was my very first, although I must thank Pastor Tim Smith and the rest of Grace Lutheran for seeing Kelsey through the lean years of not having a regular pastor to teach confirmation for her. Rather than pulling her out of Grace's program we decided to allow her to finish out with the other kids at Grace. We all are very proud of Kelsey--she will be at Watauga County High School next year after having won just about all the extracurricular and academic awards at Green Valley School. Hopefully this will be just the beginning of Confirmation ministry for us at Bethany Lutheran Church--please pray for us and also for Kelsey!

Love from the Mtn.
Tom H.
