"The fundamental mission of motherhood now is the same as it always was: to nurture, protect, and instruct children, to create a home environment that enables them to learn and grow, to help them develop a heart for God and his purposes, and to send them out into the world prepared to live both fully and meaningfully."
-Sally Clarkson from the Mission of Motherhood

First Grade Bible Presentation

Henry received his Bible for elementary school along with the rest of his first grade Sunday School class on Sunday morning.  It was a sweet presentation, and we look forward to all he will learn while spending time in God's word!  He'll receive another Bible when he enters the youth group in 7th grade. :)  I'm sure we'll blink and that will be happening!!

Growing up so fast!!!

 Henry and Grace had a BIG week.  Grace lost 2 teeth, and Henry lost one.  They both also got some pretty major haircuts.  Grace got hers chopped!  Henry went from a bowl cut to a big boy hair cut.  They are both very proud of their "new do"!!


10th Anniversary Trip!









 David and I went to Playa Mujeres, Mexico, with some friends from church.  We had the BEST time and are having trouble adjusting to daily life now that we are back to reality!  It was a perfect vacation.  Cheers to 10 years!!
