August 2016

This August was a month of surprises.

Phillip caught a raccoon in his squirrel trap. He carried this angry fellow down to the woods and released him.



Jonas artfully arranged the plastic snakes around the dog's food dishes.  I love his sense of humor!



The final August surprise has changed our lives forever.  Emily gave birth to Catherine Valeria Thomasson on August 22.  Catherine was born very early and weighed only 1 pound. She is tiny but quite a fighter.  She's at 1 pound 4 ounces now and is off the ventilator.  And she is very loved.  Please join our family in praying that Catherine will be protected from the possible complications of prematurity and that she will thrive.  Pray for Emily and Jon as they navigate this new reality that they were not expecting.
