The Van Den Einde Family

We were married on March 16, 2002, after a brief 7 month courtship - - when you know, you know! Since then, we have traveled to such wonderful places as Aruba, Florida, Kauai, Paris, Italy & the Caribbean. We've been separated by the war in Iraq. We were blessed with the opportunity to go on a Mission Trip with our church (Plymouth Covenant) to Belize. And were blessed once again, after months of fertility treatments, with the birth of our sweet baby Noah on May 31, 2007...There is no doubt, God is good & every good & perfect gift is from Him!
Throughout all of these things, God has placed a wonderful network of family & friends in our lives, without whom we may not have endured 15 months apart, 7 months of fertility treatments or been able to make & share so many wonderful times & treasured memories. So, "Thank You", to our beloved family & friends, for helping to make our lives that much more rich & fulfilling. We welcome you to our website & we love you all dearly!

One Happy Family

Back from our trip to California

We spent a week near Newport Beach, CA on Oct 4-11. We were able to enjoy some time with family and friends. Noah had his first experience playing in the ocean. We ended up spending time with Shanna's parents (Dave & Talma), Heather, Cill and Mike, my Aunt and Uncle (Sandy & Keith), some of my college/fraternity friends, and Nancy (Shanna's old boss). It was a busy week, but filled with lots of good memories.

We're really happy with how well Noah did on the flights going there and coming back. He was a real trooper sitting/standing/squirming in our lap.

We'll post some pictures on our site soon.

Thanks,
Jay
