fast-forward one year

now that one year and a day have passed since our last post, i thought it might be a good time to say hello again!

zenz life has changed in many beautiful ways since last year. little mercy isabel arrived september 13, 2005 and is blessing her mom and dad in immeasurable ways. she'll be seven months old in just a few days. her current accomplishments are (almost) sitting and eating all kinds of mashed-up veggies. yum.

we have been in boulder since june and are loving life here. we had such a smooth transition when we arrived last summer because of this amazing community. we have walked into God's grace in ways we've never known.

boulder teaches us that we have much to learn. we want to walk through this season with our eyes and ears wide open. we want to live transparently, love deeply, and give abundantly. we want to show mercy how to live outside herself, as we learn to do the same.

perhaps we'll send greetings again...sooner than a year from now.

spring is here

We have been trying to soak up this beautiful weather as much as possible lately. Spring is upon us and we are loving it! In just over two months, we will be packing up our things and heading west to Boulder, CO. We will join a team of people from Indianapolis who are planting a house church network in Boulder, Colorado. The church in Boulder is called Roots Christian Church. The group from Indianapolis has been sent by a church in the Broad Ripple neighborhood of Indy called Common Ground Christian Church (www.cground.org).

Baby Zenz is growing like a champion. He or she is at 17 weeks in the womb. Yesterday we were able to hear a very healthy heartbeat and lots of movement as our doctor examined baby and me. We are in awe of this little miracle and give God all the glory for what we are experiencing in these days of amazement.

For Andy and Baby Z.,
