BIRTHDAYS!

I missed posting pictures from a few birthdays earlier this fall.... I've got to catch up!

Our birthday girl

And the birthday boy

Sweet moments of gratitude

I am so thankful that even in the midst of hard seasons, we can still celebrate and can still be thankful.  Tonight, Scott, our boys, and I enjoyed our Thanksgiving Eve service at church.  It is always a special time for our church family, and tonight was no exception.  This was the first time that any of our kids joined us, and they loved it.  Some of my favorite moments....

When Isaac sang "Blessed be the name of the Lord...." SOOOO passionately and at the top of his lungs.

When Isaac boldly walked up to the mic to share that he is thankful for "My family, God, and the Bible."

How distressed he was that daddy and mommy hadn't walked up the mic to share anything.... and would NOT let up until we both had (and even walked up to talk to his daddy about that fact three or four different times).

When Aaron walked up to share that he is thankful that Pastor Stan is in heaven and doesn't feel any pain anymore.

I'm grateful for that, too.... and so sad at the same time....

Election season

The other night, Isaac declared, "Ooh!  Maybe God will be the next President of the United States."

I love 6 year olds.
