Family Beach Pics

While we were at the beach in May, a professional photographer took family photos.

Here is a preview of some of the great shots she captured.

To my special little 5 year old,
5 years ago, on July 9th, we welcomed you into our family. At 8lbs 10oz, you were a big bundle of joy. Our family has never been the same. You are such a blessing. You have the biggest heart and the sweetest personality.  
We love you sooo much!

"Now then, my sons, listen to Me; blessed are those who keep My ways. Listen to My instruction and be wise; do not ignore it."                                                           Proverbs 8:32-33

Cathryn goes to School

I signed Cathryn up to go to CLC (Creative Learning Center) at FBC 2 days/week starting in the Fall. Well, a spot opened up a few weeks ago so she started a little early. She has a sweet teacher and a class full of little girls...she is loving having some "girl time".

Happy Father's Day

I am so blessed to have a Fabulous Father,  Handsome Husband (who is a Wonderful Dad), and a Fantastic Father-in-Law! Blessed Beyond Measure.....

 

On this Father's Day, I also thought of my other Father....

"See how very much our Father loves us, for He calls us His children, and that is what we are!"

                                                                                                                                       1 John 3:1

"And because we are His children, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying "Abba! Father!"."                                                                                                                      Galatians 4:6

"So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God's Spirit when He adopted you as His own childrn. Now we call Him, "Abba, Father"."              Romans 8:15

Isn't is amazing that God calls us His children! Amazing that we can call Him Father!

Another TBall Season in the Books

The boys had a fun season of t-ball. They enjoyed being on the same team, and they had an EXCELLENT coach (their daddy)!

We Are Family.....

Instead of lots of Christmas gifts this year, my parents gave us all a week at the beach! There were 13 of us. It was a wonderful gift! We had a great time relaxing, reading, catching up, and eating yummy seafood!
It was so nice to have a break from the hustle of daily life.



The beach is one of my favorite places to be. I always think of the verse when we are at the beach..

"I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies," Genesis 22:17

When I look at the shore and all those tiny grains of sand, I am amazed at the promise that God made to Abraham so many years ago. Wow! Then it reminds me of Gods daily faithfulness to all His children. Wow!





My parents and all their grandchildren at the beach.

Thankful for a week to relax before Summer begins....it's going to be a busy one!
