Jayden's Baptism

This past weekend we had the glory and honor of baptizing our nephew Jayden. I LOVE this picture of him right after his Christening. It looks like he's already seeing God's grace showering him.
Our life has changed so much over the past two years. Experiencing life change is not a matter of chance, it's a matter of CHOICE! Choosing God's way instead of our own! How blessed I am to be part of this little boy's life, to help guide him, observe him grow physically and in faith, and to keep watching him look for God in everything.

SHELLabrating Megan's 7th Birthday!

Megan and everyone else was doing much better by the time saturday rolled around. Thank you Nana and Papa for letting us use your backyard oasis to SHELLabrate this little girl turning 7 years old.  Not many little girls get to see their daddy carry a mermaid into a pool.

Happy birthday Megan!

Happy 7th birthday beautiful girl. I love being your mommy and watching you grow. I love that you're my baby girl. You're spunky personality keeps us laughing constantly. Your bond with your brother Matthew is a joy to observe. You are interested in mermaids right now. You even own a mermaid tale of your own. You don't like the "fake" Disney mermaid, Ariel though. In your words, you like "only real mermaids." (You seriously believe they exist. And perhaps you are right. Perhaps, I'm the incorrect one.) Your belief in miracles and happy ever afters makes me fall even more in love with you.

You are sick with a stomach bug right now. The school just called me to come pick you up. So I'm on my way, baby girl, to  nurse you back to health so we can celebrate your 7 beautiful years this weekend, mermaid style!
