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".

Lilly's Gotcha Day

It is so hard to believe that Lilly has been with us for two years.  She has grown and changed so much in that time.  She has gotten stronger and more independent.  Her personality is shining through.  She is a determined little girl, she is funny, and she loves her family.  She is affectionate and tender hearted.  We can't imagine life without her.  Right now she loves to color, play with cell phones, wear jewelry and sunglasses, carry around her purse, play t-ball in the back yard, watch movies on the iPad, loves princesses (especially Rapunzel, Anna, and Elsa), and help around the house.  
A look back at some of our favorite Lilly moments...

April 2015

April has been a great month.  We've enjoyed the warmer weather.  We accepted an offer on our house, so we started making plans to move.  




Lilly loves to get dressed up.

Liam's God-parents sent him a science kit for his birthday.  Liam loved using the kit to explore his surroundings.


Liam was sweet enough to let Lilly ride with him on his hot wheel.  When we got home from the park, he was patient enough to teach Lilly how to peddle the tricycle.

Liam can do three monkey bars now!

These kids are best friends!

Liam fell asleep watching a movie.  I love the snuggles.

Grandma and Grandpa Herman spent the day with Liam for Grandparents Day.

We visited our lot.  We are all starting to get excited about the new house.

We watched Maggie for a day.  The kids had fun playing in her kennel.

The kids wanted to sleep together after taking a bath and listening to stories together.

We were so excited that the zoo re-opened!  It was a beautiful day.
