Birthday Party




Tonight we celebrated Emery's 3rd birthday. It was a great time! The party was at the Tree House at the Church at the Cross. There was an indoor playground where all the kids played. The highlight was a show by Professor Brainius where the children got to pop bubbles, wear balloon hats, and make slime! We were so blessed by all the families represented and are thankful for the role you have had in our lives!

Dress up




Emery loves watching her cousin and her sister dress up like pretty princesses. Her? She would rather be the rock star cowboy! We had fun today with Lily and Ivy dancing and praising in our dress up garb!

Another year older....


Emery's birthday is coming up and we are really seeing changes in her little life. We can't believe she is almost 3! Praise be to our Gracious Father and Giver of all good things. Our life is blessed in having both of our girls and we just are so thankful for their little lives.
As I think about the time I have had with her and with Ivy, I just stand amazed at what a privelage it is to take care of the Lord's children! They grow so fast!
Emery is fully potty trained, all day and night! She has jobs each morning and does them with a happy heart. She has several bible verses memorized and loves going to class. (we go to Saturday night church...is that still Sunday school?) She prays for her hurts and for everyone else. (Stone, she prays for you to get better so you guys can play!) She knows where venus is and looks for Orion's belt in the sky. Looking at the moon is a highlight of her day! Andy and Emery play catch with a ball when he gets home. She loves Ivy and takes care of her. Emery is still in swim lessons and is very excited to swim in our pool! She is a delight and we pray that she will love Jesus and answer His call on her life!
Ivy is growing too...she is officially crawling and pulling up! She loves to eat and is just so happy! She is peaceful and joyful just as I pray! Ivy has been bouncing to music (especially the "ABC's") and clapping which is so much fun! I just can't believe how big she is! Ivy is full of life and love and her eyes sparkle and I believe that she will be love to the people she meets.
Andy and I are great. We are ready to begin the next thing in our service to the Lord. We just recently finished all the classes at Gateway (our church)and are excited to see where the Lord will lead us. We want to hear, believe and obey all that He has for us!
