My kids

I love my kids. It stinks that I had to have surgery but, it has been so wonderful being home with my kids. I have never been so happy. Jonathan is on days now so he is home with us every evening. I love it! Anyway, my kids are absolute blessings. I look at them and I can clearly see how much God loves me. It is so amazing. They give me so much joy...

The other night as I was laying the kids down to sleep Bren said "Mom, God gave me such a great mommy." Chase said "Mom you are such a wonderful person." Again, God's love for me is amazing...

Let's not forget to count our blessings and thank the Lord for all the wonderful things in our lives.

Bren

Bren loves to look at books and "pretend" to read the story. She makes it up as she goes along. I think she is a great story teller! Today, while she was "reading" to me...I wrote down some of the lines from her story:
God will protect you.
God answers you when you call him.
Babies don't really know that God is around but he is.
God loves children.
Children love their mommies but they love God most of all.
God tried the corn casserole and he thought it was very good.
Mom and Dad had to work so God babysat the children. God had a very special day with the children. They had fun running around with God, playing monkey in the middle.

I love being a mom!

Happy New Year...a little late!

Chase and Brenna were so excited that we were going to let them stay up till midnight on New Year's Eve. Needless to say...they didn't make it.

I hope all of you have the best year that you have ever had. It is my prayer for my family...and your's...that we will all grow closer than ever to the Lord and do great things for his Kingdom.

Love you all!

Chase

I was one proud Mama tonight. As you can see...Chase loves music and he loves to play guitar like his Daddy. We asked Chase if he would get up and play his guitar tonight and he said "No, I can't"....about a hundred times. He has a big fear of being in front of people. After quite a bit of persuasion he said okay. I was so proud of him! I was mostly proud because he did it in spite of being afraid.
God sure has blessed me with a wonderful family!

We miss you!
