Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11. Tuesday, September 6, 2011. Charlie was in awe of all the screaming people in orange. He did have on this really cute little outfit my friend Andi let us borrow. Unfortunately, in true baby fashion, he pooped all in it right before the game started. So much for that. Andi, if you are reading this, it all came out:). Thank you Jesus for giving me a godly father. Michelle, Jed, Dad, and me. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11. Friday, January 20, 2012. I was able to talk to Michelle yesterday for about 2 hours. Which was wonderful! We have not been able to talk a lot because of the time difference and children running around needing to be cared for when would get to talk. So she stayed up late to make a few phone calls. They will land in Detroit, have a 3 hour lay-over, fly to Atlanta, have a 3 hour lay-over, fly to Dothan. YAY! I am excited to see wh...

Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11. Saturday, October 1, 2011. Fall is my favorite season! I have found some great fall decorating ideas and recipes at Pinterest. Have you been to this website? BEWARE. It is addictive! Ellie and I tried out one of the recipes I found there. It was a little messy:). But it turned out really yummy. It is Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Pumpkin Bread. My family loved it, which is never an easy task. My children ask every year when we are g...

Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11. Thursday, July 14, 2011. One of Those Days. Wednesday, July 13, 2011. The absolute best way to have started my day! She was baptized on May 1st. You know, this was just another time God was showing me I needed to trust Him. He had her spiritual birthday picked out before she was even born. I kept trying to bring up the topic with her but to no avail. God had a plan. Will I ever learn? Hope you have a blessed day!

Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11. Saturday, February 4, 2012. You may look at this and see and empty bottle. I look at this and see a blessing and God's hand of protection at work. I am so thankful and will be double checking to make sure the child-proof lock is in place instead of making that assumption from now on. We also went to see my grandmother. Charlie and Mary Alan shared a snack. She is too cute! This may look like an attack but it is really a hug.

Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11. Monday, July 18, 2011. Last night the girls were in a mood to look at old pictures and videos from when Charles and I got married and when they were born. So that is just what we did. It was so much fun to see the reaction the girls had to such meaningful times in my life. And having babies :). John Adams born March 2001. Riley born July 2002. Ellie born August 2005. And, last but not least, Charlie born November 2010.

Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11. Saturday, January 7, 2012. Joan and Michelle with Mary Alan. Mary Alan's foster parents and her new parents. In case you are wondering, Michelle, Kelly, and Annabeth have been able to do a little sight seeing while they have been in China. They got to go to the Great Wall yesterday, which almost got cancelled due to SNOW! Password: seven). She isn't always able to update so I will do my best to keep you informed. 14 Days To Go.

Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11. Tuesday, January 24, 2012. We are so proud of her. Even today, she got home from school and said she could tell God was already changing her heart to be more like Him. I can already tell this Momma is going to have a some convicting coming from her baby girl! Sunday, January 22, 2012. Ivy and the girls modeling the crown they had made for Mary Alan. Thankfully, it was late or we might have been asked to leave the building. She s...

Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11. Wednesday, July 27, 2011. An Early Birthday Wish. Riley is such an incredible blessing and rarely does a day go by that I don't look at her and think of God's goodness and grace. I love you and pray that in everything you do, you will SHINE for Jesus! Monday, July 25, 2011. Time with My Girls. And her daughter, Ivy, loaded up for a road trip. May I just put in a plug for the Marriott at North Point. They have a whole American Gi...

Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11. Monday, August 22, 2011. The Last Two Weeks. Well, we have had quite a busy few weeks. John Adams and Riley started school. John Adams is in 5th grade. He also got braces right before school started. FUN! And Riley is in the 3rd grade this year. Yes, these are the only pictures I have of them from the first day of school. They were totally embarassed that I even took these. We have reached that point. So sad :(. Charles, Melody,...
