Mr. and Mrs. Senn

This past Saturday, David's sister, Bekah, got married to Jeremy Senn. It was a beautiful wedding! One of the highlights for me was seeing how talented the Coleman family is. Each of them played a part in the wedding and it was pretty impressive! Congrats to the newlyweds!!!

Over the Hill and Through the Cornfields to Grandmother's House We Go

Team Coleman spent the 4th of July weekend in Iowa visiting David's grandmother's, Leona Coleman and Evelyn Gross. We also got to hang out with Aunt Sherry from Alaska, Uncle Richard and Aunt Ila and their kids from Argentina, David's parents and 3 of his sister's, Laura, Julia and Kim. Are you confused yet? Yes, the Coleman bunch is a large one. But, hang in there and you'll get to know them all. It was a quick trip but we got to do some swimming, see some fireworks, visit famil, play football, collect lightening bugs and just hang out together.

On the road again....










David drove the entire time while I complained about my aching back! Thanks David!

Don't Worry People....

...We are NOT naming our son Willis! I keep getting concerned questions asking if we are actually naming our kid Willis. Not gonna happen. Though he doesn't have a real name yet, we'll come up with one. Any suggestions are welcome!

Good Things Come in Big Packages Too




This is the furniture for Willis' room. Isn't it cute???? Well, you'll just have to wait and see what it looks like. Apparently, so will I. The furniture was shipped today but the men moving it said they couldn't take it downstairs because it wasn't in their contract! BUMMMER! So here it sits, taking up our ENTIRE living room. I want to see it so badly, but I'll just have to wait. If you know me or my family well, then you know that Drenth's aren't very good at waiting! David would probably give an "AMEN" if he heard me say that! So, now I sit, staring at the boxes, just waiting for some strong men to move it downstairs. Until then, I'll just have to imagine what it all looks like....and so will you. However, I do want to say thanks to Grammy and Gramps for such an awesome gift! I know Willis will love it and so will I!
