God has been gracious to us and has been with us through our journey of love and life. He has carried us through some of the most difficult times and has given us joy in the midst of sorrow. He has also been loving and given us abundant blessings. Most importantly, He has provided us with faith. May we share that faith with others.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
"God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame".

Family Christmas

Merry Christmas!  Lilly woke up at 5am, so I put her back to bed.  Liam was in our room at 5:30am, so I sent him back to bed.  He came back in our room at 6:30am, so we turned on Disney channel and then finally started unwrapping presents at 7am.  Lilly joined us about an hour later.  After the chaos of opening presents, we ate a nice big brunch complete with organic sparkling apple juice served in plastic champaign glasses.  I think that was Lilly's favorite part of the day.  Then, we played with new toys, took turns taking naps, and snacked throughout the day.  We ended the evening with the family candlelight service at Emanuel.  Then, we loaded up the van and headed to Michigan, so we could wake up and do the whole thing again the next day.
