Noah's kindergarten graduation

ANoah finished kindergarten and celebrated with a small kindergarten graduation/recognition ceremony. Shawn was able to take an extended lunch break to attend. The children and I met him there. He had as much fun climbing the trees in the park as he did during the ceremony. Congratulations, Noah! We're so proud of how much you've learned this year. 

Happy 9th Birthday, Joshua!!

Happy 9th birthday to an awesome, bigger now, fellow! We are so richly blessed to have you part of our family. It's incredible to think that God has allowed you with us now for 9 years. And to think of everything you've come through. For example, mom dropping you on your head when you was only 6 months old and you suffered a depressed skull fracture and underwent immediate head surgery to "pop the skull off the brain" as the doctor put it. Then the high chair tipping over with you in it because Zach was pulling himself up with it just days after forementioned surgery. And the chair leg that broke while Hannah was siting in it and I was holding you on the floor right beside her. And falling/jumping off the porch banister and giving yourself a fractured arm. And the tree that fell on you and your little brother, Noah. I'm sure the list goes on and on, and that there are things you've been saved from that I don't even know about! I'm so glad you're in Gods hands and as much as we love you, He loves you more!!

Happy 15th Birthday, Hannah!!

Happy Birthday, dearest Hannah! Only 6 months until you drive. How is this possible?!!! Where did the tiny, red, squalling infant go that we just brought home?! You are an amazing young woman who is such a help with the house and your brothers. I love your willing spirit that offers help no matter how tired you are or if you want to do something else. Also the dedication you give to your studies finishing 9th grade with all A's and a 4.0 gpa. Congratulations on that and we thank you for all you do for us, and thank God for letting you be in our family!
