Christmas Family Portrait

 

Here is our annual family portrait. A family in our church took it for us! It is hard to get a shot where everyone is in it! And and equally difficult task was coordinating colors for everyone - I felt like I cracked the code when I realized that we all had cream and brown in our wardrobe. But everyone is smiling in the right direction. Praise the Lord!

My Projects

 

 

 

These are the craft projects I have made for my mother and sister's birthdays. It is so much fun to try to create something special and unique. It also forces me to finish a project and learn any skill a bit better.

Little Zana

 

 

 

 

Hosanna is showing her personality more these days. For a while she was so quiet and went along with the flow - now she is full of pizaz!

Our Arrow

 

 

 

 

Arrow as himself. (Jonathon's nick-name is Arrow!) As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are children of the youth. (Psalm 127:4) He is definately growing up - even potty training now! Hooray!!

God Time

 

Zachary is on the couch with his journal and Bible praying. Yea! for home-training and family discipleship. The children really do catch on and imitate our faith. They are a blessing!

My little Orchestra

 

This is evidence that the children are interested in what I teach. We were learning about the different instruments and how they are played and what they sound like. Jubilee is on the violin, Zachary the piano, and Jonathon is playing the flute. Hosanna decided to be the audience for this performance.

Our family

 

We are very blessed to be celebrating the boy's one year anniversary tomorrow! We have been a family of six for a whole year! It is a rare occation to get a family picture - so enjoy.

Grampa and Grammie

 

It was great to have Grampa and Grammie come visit in October! They take each child out on a one-on-one date, which makes everyone feel extra special.
