Photos...

Photos are such fun... to capture memories... well today Esther and Solomon were in a photo shoot for a local childrens shop ... so I thought I'd click some too, even though mine are not the quality from the photographer. Both of them had such fun and did such a good job!!

...waiting their next turn...

"Um Es, what dance move is that?"

this is Sol's new smile? more of a 'scrunchy' face ~ but this is the new look when someone tells him to 'SMILE' !

she LOVED it!!

...Looks like a little man!

We are so SO blessed with our children... ALL of them... It's lots of hard work and lots of self-sacrifice of our time, but ALL worth it!! God is good! He has blessed us abundantly! and we can't wait for our next little one to be captured in the camera lense too !!

Hats on for FALL

What a beautiful FAll day we are having today!! Thank you Lord that it's not raining!! Sunshine and brisk weather just feel good!! Have a blessed day.

Re-cap of Orphan Sunday/Veteran's Day!

We were so privileged to be part of the Orphan Sunday event here in TN this past Sunday ~ November 8th.....to be in a room gathered with others who 'just get it' !!

You can go to the Gospel Music Channel and watch the video for the next few days. Steven Curtis Chapman was fabulous!! The speakers spoke right to our hearts... right from our Father's heart.
The World Children's Choir spurred on some dancin' in the seats~~ Solomon and Esther LOVED the children and their voices singing out unto the Lord!!




AND

To those who serve our beautiful
United States of America

not just today, but every day...

Thank you for your commitment,
your bravery,
your sacrifice.

or a rocket girl that flies to outer space' !! "
