Those were Kayla’s words when she told me that David and her wedding photos were on our photographer’s blog.
The way Hannah captured such a special day in our lives is BEYOND a treasure. They are beautiful.
Hannah, we can never thank you enough!!
You must see them!!!! Here:
And snowing….
And blowing…..
What’s a mama to do?
Make hot chocolate, of course!
Hope you are having a cozy cocoa kind of day too!!
My amazing man is getting a year older today.
The love I have for this man runs so deep.
He leads our family with a faith that I wish I could achieve.
A faith that makes our choices look a little odd to the world.
But a faith that makes our choices seem very right.
I stand amazed at the gift the Lord gave me when he brought Blake into my life.
I could have never imagined the journey our life together would be.
We have had our share of hard times, but the Lord used them all to make our bond even stronger.
Blake’s strength and steady personality have been such a blessing in my life.
Those traits that he wears so easily have taken us so far.
It is an amazing privilege to spend each day being a help meet to my man.
I have not, and never ever will, take him for granted.
He has cherished me every single day since he met me.
And cherishes each of our children in the same exact way.
Sweetheart, you still make my stomach flip flop. You are the love of my life.
I am so thankful we get to be heirs together in the grace of life.
Happy Birthday to the most wonderful husband and father!
WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!
I am loving Eliza’s vocabulary these days.
She certainly has a language of her own!
She calls her bath time, which has not been in the bathtub since her surgery because of her wound, “washie, washie.”
Kind of makes sense, don’t you think?
Another favorite is “no wanna!”
She says this when she does not, and I mean does NOT, want something.
With both of her hands waving back and forth at the same time.
It certainly gets her point across.
I also love that she still calls Addie Mae “Jie, Jie.”
Unless she is mad at her, and then she is “ADDIE!”
One of her favorite things to say is “have that.”
Over and over and over again until you let her “have that,” whatever it may be.
Out of the blue the other day she started calling Blake “Baba” again.
She has not done that since we were first home from China!
He has been “Daddy” for months now.
Her therapists were amazed at her language skills.
Her doctors were amazed too.
We hear it all the time – “It just seems like she has ALWAYS been a part of your family!”
Well, yes, it does.
Can’t remember life before you, Eliza Claire!
To God be the glory!
