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".

June 2018

We came home from vacation and decided to do some of our favorite summer activities.  We went to the butterfly exhibit at the Botanical Conservatory, went to the zoo, and visited the downtown library to start the summer reading program.  
At the end of June, Liam and I participated in CLHS Drama Camp.  Liam was technically a year too young, but he got to participate anyway.  He started the week timid, but gained his confidence as the week went on.

We attended the baptism of Karis Bornheimer.  She is such a cutie!

We had a chicken dinner & silent auction as a fundraiser for our adoption.







I managed to make time to make our annual strawberry freezer jam.

We also had a garage sale to raise money for our adoption.  The kids had a lemonade and cookie stand.

We hung out at the Shively house for the day.  We had great food and the kids had a fun time playing together!
