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".

March 2020

We started the month normally.  Lilly had her Operetta -  she did a fantastic job.  We went to Michigan to celebrate March birthdays.  Then, the world stopped.  Our governor suspended school in the school building and implemented remote learning.  Little did we know at the time, that it would be extended for the rest of the school year.  We began the new normal of school at home and Zooming for everything all because of a small, but deadly virus called Corona (COVID-19).  We were supposed to end this month (Spring Break) with a trip to Charleston, South Carolina.  That trip will have to wait.  Everything will have to wait.  We are making the best we can out of the situation.  Liam enjoys staying up late and sleeping in. Lilly enjoys playing with Luke in the mornings before Liam wakes up and having him all to herself.  We are playing board games and watching movies.  We are praying that we are able to enjoy our summer and see people again.





We surprised Dave with gifts at his office for his birthday
