For Judah’s birthday this year we did something a little different – he decided that instead of getting gifts for himself he would ask his friends coming to his party to bring items like socks and underwear for missionary kids. There is a clothing center we know of that provides clothing items for missionaries on [...]

Happy Birthday my dear Judah! Your big day has arrived and I am delighted to be able to spend the day celebrating YOU and the masterful Creator who put you together. The last few weeks have been such fun as you have highly anticipated and skillfully counted down the days til this one – the [...]

I love watching this incredible love relationship between father and sons.

{click to enlarge images} Wesley turned three on Wednesday and since we are going to avoid peer-parties we told Wesley, as we had done with Judah, that he could invite whomever he wished. He informed us that he wanted “everyone” to come. When pushed to give us names of who that “everyone” might include he [...]
