Is there a Doctor in the house??

We celebrated the completion of Rick's Doctor of Ministry Degree at Fuller Seminary in June. It was a great day to mark a seven year process. As we were reminiscing we realized that over the course of the seven years it took to finish we lived in 5 houses in 3 different states, had 3 babies, went through a flood and a hurricane, had 3 different job titles...I'm sure there's something I'm forgetting. This was truly an accomplishment and I was so proud of Rick for seeing this through. Enjoy the pictures!

This is Rick and me with his professor, Chap Clark.

Rick, Christy, Katy, Will and Rick's parents, Dan and Kathryn Durrance.
I just had to include this one of our sweet kids, Katy and Will. Will especially was very excited about dressing up for the occasion.

We're still alive!

It has been forever since we have posted, which you already knew if you are reading this. :) We could give you lots of excuses--crazy schedule, long vacation, camera dropped in the ocean, four kids...need I say more? So, we though we'd try and chronicle a bit of what's been happening in the Durrance household for the past few months. Starting with...Memorial Day! Yes, I know it was in May...
This is our David with a good friend and our youth pastor, Dave Rutledge, affectionately or not so affectionately known as "Mr. Dave" (He claims it makes him feel old :)).
The gang hanging out on a nice cool May day at the beach--our friends Dave and Bekah Rutledge and Amy, Kathy, and Bob Drummond.

Mr. Bob throws a mean frisbee...:)
