Charlotte Teisinger has joined the Downs family. She has lived with us for two weeks and we have decided we love having a big family. Char thinks she is making a goofy face in this picture, but I think it shows her fun free spirit and this amazing picture that she just completed painting as a gift for her sister who is getting married this month.

If anyone missed a memo along the way, there are 7 of us under the Downs roof at the moment. Brian, Ashlyn, Kylen, Julianne, Melody, Char, and me. Meghan, the gal who lived with us last year, is in VA at Liberty University. We love every person the Lord brings our way.

Other updates:

*Julianne just began badminton and has her first game tomorrow. Go Broncos!

*Kylen got his wire off his teeth after almost knocking them out a couple of weeks ago.

*Ashlyn has blessed me as I have watched her reach out to people again and again and love them unconditionally.

*Melody is almost done with her first semester of college! Great job!

*Brian is as handsome as ever! That sums it up...
