With grateful hearts for famly and friends,

With Grateful Hearts

With grateful hearts for family and friends, for those near to us and those who are near in our hearts. For hope and joy, and sorrow and struggles. For laughter and tears, and the songs that He gives along the way. But most of all for Jesus...the Author and Finisher of our faith. It is with grateful hearts that we share with you here.

Senior Pictures, Birthday Boys, and Goodnight Moon

Our Dear Christian turns eleven!

Wow is it hard to believe that our sweet Christian is eleven years old. It was a party complete with a Jeff Gordon Cake made by his cousin Jennie. He's a big time Nascar fan!


...and then there's our resident senior...how did this one get so old?!!


I really didn't plan on posting so many of these photos, but I love them all so much, I couldn't decide which ones to post. There are only about 100 to choose from!





This was Faith's idea of school today I guess. We are finally back to a semi-normal school day schedule. Although Mitch asked me how school was today and I told him, "It is INSANE"...and to think...I thought last year was a juggling act!! How's come homeschool mom's don't get teacher's aids? Although I did get my mom today for several hours of aid. THANKS MOM!

The world's best cousins, Ben and Jennie.

It has been incredible to me to learn how trying times in life deepen your love for family and friends. As I have leaned on my family and friends over these past weeks that our family has undergone so many changes, I have grown to see them with an even more intense beauty. Wow, I have been blessed with their amazing love. I have drawn strength from every hug. I praise God that at the end of this road of learning, He will have taught me so much more about Himself...and about how this life that we all tend to think we have figured out, is not about us, but about a God who is beautiful beyond our comprehension.

Love to you all
Clinging to a Matchless God
