--------------------Welcome!

The Lord has blessed our family greatly both through adoption and birth. And because there are so many personalities in our family there is much to think about. This blog is a way to put some of those thoughts down and share our journey.



I hope that my words spur you on, encourage you on a so-so day, and point you to the Lord.

Happy Birthday Natalie and Nathan!
We love you both bunches!!!
August 28, 2007
Natalie was so excited to share her 11th birthday with her little brother!Natalie is stylin' in our family's birthday hat.
Nathan the BIG #1! Tastin' some yummy cake.
Sharin' tunes.
Opening presents with Daddy's help.

The Lord has blessed us greatly! What a joy to celebrate Nathan's first birthday with him! He is everywhere these days, pulling up and now taking away one hand when hanging on. He has some of the funniest facial expressions, and knows it!

Natalie is now 11 years old and in so many ways is really growing up. She has such a sweet and thoughtful spirit.

We are overwhelmed by the blessings the Lord has bestowed on our family.

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." James 1:17
