Way Back Wednesday

This is Grandpa Dave holding Josiah when he was a day old in the hospital. Josiah loves his
Grandpa Dave!!!


Happy Birthday to Our Oldest Nephew!!!

We wanted to take a moment and wish our nephew Teagon a very happy birthday! Today he turns 13 and is paving the way into teenagehood for the rest of the kids. I can't believe that he's already a teenager...when we first met him, he was a 4 year old who loved to wrestle around with Grandpa and Uncle Jared. Now he is taller than Stephanie by many inches (not that its really hard to do since she is only 5'3).
So Happy Birthday, Teagon! May this be your best year ever!! We love you!!

Cousins Eliya and Jagger (both 3) picking up candy at a parade...July 2005

Thankful Thursday

Today, I am thankful for our nephews and niece. They are the most special people on this planet (along with our kids...at least according to me!). They came into our lives faster than we could even imagine since Tim married Jen who had two kids already and then they had the third soon into their marriage. But right away, they were special to us.


Our first nephew, Teagon, is a really smart and creative kid. He is the most amazing creative writer. Where he comes up with his ideas, I'll never know!


Our only niece, Jade, is beautiful and smart and very personable. She is about the only person I know who can "give it back" to Grandpa Dave without missing a beat.


Our youngest nephew, Jagger, is a little Tim. He is very into music. He loves guitars and drums and even listening to music. Jagger also is a very loving kid. He always remembers to give our kids hugs when they have to leave.


We love our niece and nephews and thank God that He has brought them into our lives. We are so glad to see them grow up into who God has called them to be.

This was at Josiah's baby dedication...when we only had 2 children!

Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for our health. Just last week, Hannah dealt with a battle of Scarlet Fever. Today, because God is a God that heals, she is running around like nothing ever happened. My family is healthy because we have a covenant with God and I am truly blessed that he honors his covenant with us. Jesus Christ healed 2000 years ago and he is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If he healed 2000 years ago, then he still heals today.

Thank you Father for being Jehovah Raffa...the Lord my Healer!

This is Eliya when she was not quite 2 years old on her first trip to Disney World. She shares the stroller with her "boyfriend" Logan. Logan just asked for her phone number and asked her to a movie...they are only 7!!! I don't know if we're ready for this!!
