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".

May 2016

May was a full month!  The kids and I went to Indianapolis with Grandma Kusch to visit with the Milligans and visit the Children's Museum.  The kids finished their year of school.  We had a lot of fun playing at parks and we enjoyed seeing what popped up in the woods behind our house.

Every time I saw a new wildflower I took a picture of it.





Fort Wayne Children's Zoo
















I painted the planters that Denny, Dave's Dad, made for me so that they match the shutters and then my Mom helped me pick out flowers for them.



Lilly is always a big helper!

Grandma Kusch bought the girls dresses for the Princess Tea in September at Disney.  They had to try them on to see if they fit.  They LOVED them!


We get a lot of eye rolls these days.  This was because I said she couldn't comb her hair with her fork like Ariel.

We spent the day with Grandma's friend Ellen Milligan and her grandson Grant, who is the same age as Liam.  They get along really well.

Liam got out of school a couple days before Lilly did, so one afternoon while she was at school, we went to the zoo, just the two of us.
