Happy Birthday Levi!

Happy Birthday Levi!
The first day of summer will always get Levi in a happy mood because it means cake and ice cream time for him! He is very happy as he celebrates his first birthday!
What an easy disposition; God has answered my prayers! Levi takes a nap without fuss and even wakes with no fuss. He even coos in his crib for hours. Now what kind of baby does that?! Thank you God for not giving us anymore than we can handle!Posted by Picasa

More Redheads!


Redheads are a crazy bunch! People think they want a redhead. I hear it all the time from strangers! I just laugh!! What are they wishing for? Don't they know that means less sleep and relaxing on the couch? It is 24 hour watch with pint size redheads that rule their territory. My Elleanna is like 'Speedy Gonzales' and the 'Tasmanian Devil' rolled up into one! She manages to make a mess in every room. When I ask her to clean up, she automatically replies, "My legs hurt!" Hmmm...those legs didn't hurt 10 seconds ago when she was doing her break dance moves on the floor. Oh my.....

LOOK AT ME!!

Hey, I'm Elleanna and I can do flips too! Watch this! Today I told my mom that when I grow up I will be explainable! I like to tell my mom all kinds of silly things! Once my mom said she was so tired and I told her all she needed was a cigarette. Of course, she doesn't smoke, but why not start today? I like to make everyone laugh whether it be with my layers and layers of clothes or just my sassy personality! Did you know that Jesus doesn't like to make His bed or pick up His clothes either? Yeah, that's right. He likes CANDY!! (I like candy too - see my picture below. Please don't tell my mom!!) Oh by the way, I am lefty too! That explains alot!

Summertime!

Mom, watch this! Look what I can do! I can hang upside down! I am seven and growing leaps and bounds! I am sensitive and love Jesus! I love my sister, but sometimes I need my space! She teases too much! I love to draw and paint and have you hang all my artwork! I love my life! Oh and I love to do cartwheels!

Sisters in the Rain


I took this picture of the girls when they were two and five. I love it! I love their personalities that I see in the pajamas down to the rainboots and rain jacket. Was it raining? Of course! Maybe not that hard though...

My journey took me to a land where I did not belong; a land with food, but customs that were not my own. I had left my relatives and friends behind for a grain of barley. How could something this size affect my life? But it did. My family was now fed, but alas my husband died. I beat my chest and cried out to God. How could you bring my family to this foriegn place and now I am alone with my sons?! My provider, my protector, my lover has died! I want to curse this grain of barley for it has brought pain to my life. It has taken from me. Oh my heart aches for my loss. But I will allow my God to wipe the tears from my face; to wipe away the sorrow. I will not despair because I have my precious sons.

Piano Recital

Samantha's first piano recital, duet of Jesus Loves Me with piano teacher, Mrs. Becca. She did a fabulous job not missing a note! Samantha loves music. She loves to sing and dance. This fall she would like to learn the violin as well. She will also increase her ballet lessons from one day to two days a week.

Disneyland!
Levi slept through most of it, but that's okay. We plan to go back when he is 3 1/2 years old and a little taller!
Disneyland really is a magical place where dreams do come true!
