St. Patty's Day




I just wanted to post a few pictures I had. One is of Ava with her cousins, Philip and Ashlyn. They came over on St. Patrick's Day. We had so much fun as we always do. We made candy and did some crafts. They are such good kids and always a joy to spend time with. Ava just adores Philip. She wants nothing more than to do whatever her big cousin Ashlyn is doing. The one picture of Ava is from the other day. Ashlyn and Ava will be flower girls in a friends wedding on Saturday. We had to practice curling her hair. She looks so pretty. She had big hair just like me that day. Guess she will fit in here in west Texas.

Priceless

I thought it would be nice for my family to see some video of my baby. She is getting so big. These memories captured on film are so priceless. It is hard to believe a year ago we were waiting for the first step or the first tooth. Now she can sing the wheels on the bus. I have been blessed by God with this child. I am so thankful for the five years I spent trying to have this little girl. God knew she would be that much more special to us. We have set a date for our next transfer which is May 12th. We had a few set backs but are anxious to give it another go around. We of course would love to welcome another member to our family, but are at peace with Gods plans for us. I would like to ask for some prayers for my cousin, Beth and her husband, Chris. He has been battling Lymphoma cancer. He has been an amazing witness to my family and thousands of others. I hear the past few days have been extremely hard. Please pray for Beth, Chris and their family. Sometimes it is hard to understand these hard times and all we can do is pray and trust in God.
