Jonah turns 5!

Jonah turned five earlier this week. We had another cake and small celebration. The big party was on Saturday a long with Micah and Kerith. They are still young enough that they don't care if their parties are together.

All throughout the day he kept asking Mom am I bigger? as in taller. It was very hard to answer but of course I told him he was a lot taller than last year. That really wasn't enough to satisfy him so he finally told me he was ALMOST as all as me. Oh that IS coming, thankfully it is still a few years away. After all we have to get through Kindergarten first...

Happy Birthday Micah and Kerith!

It was three years ago today that my life changed forever. Micah and Kerith entered this world at 35 weeks premature and perfectly healthy. Doctors told me I would always need help to get pregnant and God decided to prove that he is in control of every detail of my life including my fertility or lack there of. Not one but two babies conceived without medication. They are my daily reminders that God's ways are higher than my own and his ways are perfect. They also remind me that when men say it is impossible with God ANYTHING is possible.

2 weeks old.

Today three years old

Happy Birthday guys!

Celebration number six

Today marks Grace's sixth birthday! Yes that is me in the picture in my skinnier days. Our first child. She is just finishing up Kindergarten and loves it. She is quite the reader now and loves to try to teach her younger siblings. She is much like her Mom and is shy when you first meet her, then she will gain your trust and open up more and more. She loves the outdoors and playing cars and house with Jonah. She also loves to write...takes after someone else I know. We are blessed to be her parents. I am blessed to her Mom, she challenges me with bedtime spiritual questions like "Mom what is heaven like?" what a special gift to be able to make her Mom think and remind her of Christ.

 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, ⁵ made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
