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".

August 2015

It's hard to believe we are into the swing of our school schedule.  We have been in school for three weeks already.  In addition to starting school, Lilly started ballet, and Liam started Karate.  They both really love their activities.  It's still hard to believe that I have children in Kindergarten and Preschool.  We still managed to have a lot of fun family moments even though we're back into the fall routine.

Lilly decided to use markers as make-up.  She wasn't very happy that I washed it off.

Liam had s much fun looking for the Gingerbread man at school that he wanted to recreate the experience at home.



Toledo Zoo

If all the things to see at the zoo, the kids were fascinated with the baby robin.










Detroit Zoo
There was a cool Dinosaur exhibit on display while we were there.

For our Friday night family time, we let Liam pick a restaurant.  He picked McDonalds (no surprise there).  We went to one with a big play place.  They had an old-school tree.
