a good day.....and good-night!


Our first ever paintings...

If you'll notice....Luke used his finger to paint, and Isabel meticulously painted her piece for 20 minutes using only a brush. THey were so proud!

GOod night hugs, after watching Dora, dora, dora the explorer!!!!!


In all my beauty at the end of the day, (no make-up, looking quite tired, daddy's out of town...)
I asked the babies to hug each other, so i could take a picture and send it to Daddy to say night-night.......
instead they reached over and hugged me, and we had a hug party!!!

Have you hugged your Mom lately or given someone a hug that needed one? I love hugs. I dont know why...i just think they are so GOOD for us.



(((((((HUGS FROM US))))))))

broken hearted for these..


I would like to ask for your prayers today for my uncle and his wife. She was 6 and a half months pregnant with their first child, and they lost their baby boy today. I'm not sure how to begin explaining and not even sure this holds any understanding, but I ask for prayers for their family.
I don't normally share such personal things, but they are in deep need of prayers from believers.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Life is made up of innumerous joy sprinkled with tragedy. One makes your appreciation of the other greater, even though you can’t recognize it at the time...."my aunt B'Donna"

2 days before the twins arrived....
I am so thankful my Dad took this picture....to remind me what it felt like to hold two precious lives inside of me...

Be encouraged!

Lord fill my heart with Yours
that I may know Your will,
those things that I should act upon
and when you want me still.

Guard my mind from useless thoughts
that clutter, harm, confuse.
Create in me a closeness
that Your course I'll always choose.

Clear my hearing, teach me
to identify the lies,
that I may only hear the truth
of who I am in Christ.

Lord, satisfy and fill me
with Your Spirit from above,
that I may truly know the freedom
of Unfailing Love.

Then planted deeply in that love,
my heart in full surrender,
Lift the veil for all to see,
my life display Your splendor.


Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

I BELIEVE......

I BELIEVE......
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11
