"Before you can teach children, you must get the silver key of kindness to unlock their hearts, and so secure their attention."

~ Charles Spurgeon

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, much mercies, kindness,
humbleness of mind, meekness and longsuffering.

Col. 3:12

"One day in the country is worth a month in town."

~ Christina Rosseti

"Let the field exult, and all that is in it, then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the Lord for He is coming..."
Psalm 96:12,13

How we've grown!

It all started with a young, God fearing couple that met and married.



A girl was born...... me.

(I personally think Daddy got into this old fashioned photo-op, he appears a very bad-guy-ish, desperado character. I mean, take a gander at those eyes and haughty stance.)


Then, when I was nine, we adopted Jonathan (who was seven) from Ukraine and then Mama had Elizabeth. (Alright, I am doubled over laughing right now, Jonathan looks like the Artful Dodger. The hat is hil-ar-i-ous! He can barely see under it.)



In December of 2007 we adopted Bella and Louisa from Guatemala and God blessed us with Katherine in 2009. Presenting our present day family......





When I look back over these pictures I realize, in wonder, what happiness the Lord has given us and I look foward to what memories and adventures He has planned in the upcoming years.
