A nice little way to kick off spring break. 

In this video, you'll notice a bald guy in an aloha shirt and a cute 5 year old girl that you might recognize.

Update on Anneke

Jason and I so appreciate your interest and prayers for Anneke.  Wanted to give you an update.  The first diagnosis we were given from the neurologist was chronic headaches (migranes).  The meds for the didn't touch the pain and the other issues she has weren't addressed with that.
The next diagnosis we were given was that Anneke tested positive for a bacteria called mycoplasma.  The symptoms she has been experiencing affects .1% of the people who have this.  She was put on antibiotic for that. Unfortunately, she is still experiencing the same problems.... constant head and stomach pain, blurry vision, weakness in mostly her legs, tingling in her feet, and fatigue.
We were referred to an infectious disease doctor and he believes the mycoplasma is gone, but she is experiencing residual and new issues from it.  He believes she may now have urinary tract infection and an ulcer.  But, still does not have any ideas about the other symptoms.
Ways you can pray...  of course, for healing
                            ....  that we will be guided to what doctors to see.  The symptoms are all so confusing
                                  and different that we need to wisdom to know who to turn to next.
                            ....  that Anneke can keep up with school since she's missed a lot
                            ....  for our faith in the Lord's ability and desire to heal her to stay strong and that He
                                   would encourage our spirits

We are amazed at the positive attitude that Anneke continues to have through the pain and are thankful that she feels her faith is growing through this difficult time.  Thanks for your love and care for her and us!

Small Wedding Update

Hello everyone! Just letting you know that you should be receiving a save-the-date postcard from Brian and I for July 12 in the mail in the next week or two. You can check out our wedding website at http://www.theknot.com/wedding/Whartnaby-Gesch to find out more information (the website will be listed on those postcards as well). If you're looking for hotel rooms, our discounted room codes are on there too.

We are inviting adults to the wedding, but if you're looking for a good babysitter for the kids and would like some recommended names of great people, my mom would be happy to give you a list! Call her up anytime. Thought it'd be helpful for when you figure logistics out. Let me know if you have questions or if I can help figure out details in any way :)
