Look Who is 13!

How can it be that we are now parents to a 13 year old daughter?  Rachel turned 13 on December 11th and we couldn't be more proud of the work that the Lord has done in her heart.  She is a true daughter of the King of Kings!  We gifted Rachel with a scrapbook full of notes from family and friends who have all helped us teach, nurture and pray for her since she was born.  She was deeply touched by all the love, encouragement and "charges" placed before her by her "family of God".  Thank you all for loving our daughter!

Dance Recital

We have three girls who take dance classes and they participated in a production of "Babes in Toyland".  Rachel and Sarah take ballet classes and Hannah takes "Modern" dance class.  They really had fun dressing up in the costumes and we were proud of their efforts to glorify God through dance.  They are truly jewels to us!

Our Leaf Treasures!

Leaves!

Piles of leaves are a glorious thing to a child.  Our kids are always eager to "rake the leaves" because they "rake them" with the goal of putting them into a pile to jump into!  Why is it so much fun?  

Hannah is 10 years old!

It is hard to believe that 10 years ago Ric was racing me to the emergency room to deliver Hannah Elizabeth!  What a joy she has been!  We had a fantastic party on Friday.  Four friends came and had a true "girls night" that was filled with a scavenger  hunt, games, banana spits, movie, dressing up, putting on a play, and staying up late!
