"Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children are a reward from Him" Ps. 127:3

Our little boy is growing up so fast (they all are). It's hard to believe that he's 5 already! (Or as he'll tell you, "a whole hand!") He's such a blessing to us, an awesome brother to his sisters and a joy to raise (it's a blessed exhaustion!) Adding even more joy, Micah asked Jesus to be his savior on Aug. 25th. We love you honey!

First day of school 2009...

Grace on her first day of 2nd grade!With her Hello Kitty backpack & umbrella (the Hello Kitty lunch box is inside the bag - can you tell that she really likes Hello Kitty?!) Micah's first day of Preschool!

Showing off his Lightning McQueen backpack - he was so excited about his backpack and getting to start school!

Good Clean Fun!

It was a hot summer day at Grandma's so we decided to let the children run through the sprinkler in the back yard... "Have fun," "watch out for your sister," "be careful of the hose," etc. I guess we forgot to mention "don't take a mud bath"! Oh well, a mud mask is good for the skin right? Good news is that they clean up well and, really, who else can pull off this look

while still looking absolutely cute?!
