The Law Enforcement around here...

 

The sheriff and his deputy are pretty intimidating. I love watching my kids dress up and play together.

Jesus Loves Me

Keith and his cousins put on a talent show for us when we were in Houston visiting Aunt Dena and her family. It was adorable. Keith's part of the show was saying his favorite Bible verse, John 3:16 and singing Jesus Loves Me. It was so precious. His sweet voice and his tender heart amaze me. He is truly a special boy! I missed Kate's part of the show - it was over so quick. She was so funny. Wow! God's goodness to us is overwhelming.

The Big Game

The turnout wasn't what we hoped for, but Keith and Kate sure looked GREAT! We had a lot of fun watching the championship with Papa. However, my five year old helped me put things in perspective. When I told him that our sooners had lost and that I thought it was pretty stinky - he said, "Mom, it will be okay. There will be lots more sooner games." He is right! I am so thankful that God continues to teach me and to grow me and refine my perspective through these two precious gifts. He is so Good!

Keith's Jack o Lantern

Keith and I had a blast carving his pumpkin. He thought the guts were pretty gross.

Kate E.

 

Her Smile!! Her Laugh!! Her Independence!! Her Curiosity!! Her Joy!! Kate is full of life. At every turn she is living it to the fullest - not missing out on any opportunity to risk - to love - to play - to discover.

Somehow Kate turned 21 months old on Tuesday of this week. How are we just 3 months away from her second birthday. I watch her and my heart overflows with joy, love, and gratefulness to my Lord! Kate is the most fun, most unique, most beautiful girl I know. I am so privileged to call her daughter. I can't wait to see all the incredible things God has purposed for her life. May God use her for His glory now and always!

Rain

Today was one of those days when we thought the rain would never end - it poured all day. Our driveway turned into one enormous puddle - the water was over Keith and Kate's feet. They had a blast playing in it tonight! Enjoy!

Home

I am falling more and more in love with my husband. It has been almost nine years that God has allowed me to walk this journey with Keith and I know at this very moment I love him more than ever. How is that possible!? God is so good - so faithful. Keith is strong, gentle, faithful, kind, generous, tender, forgiving, passionate - Keith is HOME to me!!!! Thank you Father - I am in awe!!!
