This past month has marked a few significant "Firsts" for the Bechtles.....we wanted to share a few of these special moments......
Evangeline Joy celebrated her first birthday on August 12. She's not yet walking, but thinking very seriously about giving it a try. She spends most of her time just a few crawls behind her big sisters and has managed not to swallow any polly pocket shoes as of yet.
Elizabeth celebrated her first ride on her two-wheel bike with no training wheels. A few laps around the park and she was a pro. She enjoys riding around the neighborhood now as the rest of us try and keep up with her.
Our final "first" for came on August 28th when we sent our "first" daughter to her "first" day of Kindergarten. Elizabeth was very excited to get on the bus for her short ride to Bayview Elementary school. She has definitely enjoyed her first week, with the greatest challenge being the 7:00am alarm clock. Her sister Emma misses her very much and enjoys meeting her at the bus when she comes home.

Thanks Laila for for the update.
The pictures are great, and the "firsts"...
We think of you and pray for you several times a day.
Love, Mom
Hi Jon and Laila,
We LOVE the pictures, you sure have beautiful girls. We miss you and wish we could be there for some of those firsts. We are praying and thinking of you daily. We are excited to hear about how everything is going to work out.
We love you very much! Abbie is still talking about her cousins! She tries the tricks that Emma and Elizabeth taught her with the swing and misses having big "sisters" to bug. Laila, I am praying for you the most. Hope you get some free time to re-group. And Jon, we are praying hard for you, too, and are looking forward to hearing how your gifts and natural abilities are being used- and we hope it is bringing you new joy in serving Him.
Much much love,
Scott, Katherine and Abbie
