Lydia Joy will be 3, yes, count them 3 (fingers) years old Sunday February 27th!!  It's our 2nd birthday with her and we are so excited!!  I remember 2 years ago this time I was looking around trying to picture a baby in the house again and I just couldn't imagine it!  Now... we can't remember what it was like before Lydia joined our family!  She has bravely made leaps and bounds of progress developmentally as well as emotionally.  Her sweet little heart has learned to trust and love us.  It's impossible to put into words just how thankful we are to our Heavenly Father for gifting us with such a treasure!   Her birthday and Forever Family day are only 10 days apart, so stay tuned for those updates! 
Ephesians 1:17-19



Lord, give our children the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, and the knowledge of You. That the
eyes of their hearts be enlightened that they will know the hope to which you have called them, the
riches of Your glorious inheritance in the saints and His Incomparably great power for us who believe.

Snakes and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails-All grown up!





Just when I was getting used to the idea of Jason graduating and growing up... it's Andrew's turn to do the same....*sigh* Why do they have to grow up? I would love to have one of those days back from when they were Lydia's age and just enjoy them being little again! Now... it's cars, tennis, and college! This mama couldn't be more proud! I'm thankful for the tender heart that Andrew has for the Lord and his desire to follow Him wherever that may be.
Jeremiah 29:11 becomes more real than ever to us as we release Andrew into the plans of the one who created him and gifted us with him!
"For I know the plans I have for you," Declares the Lord! "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future!"
And we all say... AMEN!
