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".

Dave's Birthday - thank you Shutterfly for the cool wrapping paper



Grandpa and Nana Hart came for a visit.  It was good to see them again.  Grandpa Hart still has some health concerns, but was cleared to travel.








We are all a little stir crazy and are excited to be able to get out and play.


















Liam's class sang in chapel.  He did a nice job!





Lilly had her tonsils and adenoids removed to get ready for her pharyngeal flap surgery.  Removing the tonsils and adenoids made more room in her throat for air.




Cousin Verona's birthday party.



Liam is excelling at karate


Liam was very helpful removing sticks and limbs from the yard.




Can't avoid germs when you are in school.

Easter 2016

Easter is such a wonderful celebration for us!  We know that even though our whole family isn't together here on earth, there will be a time when we will all be together in heaven.  We rejoice that through Christ we have the assurance that we will spend eternity with our Savior.  We sing our favorite hymns in church and have great fellowship with our family. It's a taste of the feast to come in heaven, where death can no longer steal our JOY!

February 2016


This month Liam had allergy testing done.  They discovered that he is allergic to mold, which in Indiana, in prevalent about 8 months of the year.  He also has asthma, which is induced by his allergy to mold.  It was nice to learn what has caused all his croupy coughs in the past and learn ways to help with symptoms in the future.







School can be exhausting for Lilly.  She often falls asleep around suppertime.
