Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!

Madison just turned 7! I can't believe it. Friday the 10th was her big day and she got to celebrate with friends at school and then with our family later in the day. She is such a treasure!!! I don't even have the words to express how precious she is. She is kind, hard working, loyal, organized, friendly, faithful, and just an all around joy for me to be around. She was actually sick this week and had to stay home from school for 2 days...and do you know I loved every second of it. I just love to spend time with my sweet girl! Here are a few pictures from her big day.

Thanksgiving

We celebrated Thanksgiving with Mike's family here in Austin this year. We went up to Jack and Suzy's house (Mike's Aunt and Uncle) on Thanksgiving day and enjoyed a low key day with a delicious meal and sweet fellowship with family. Maddie and Brennan brought us back to the first Thanksgiving by attending as a Pilgrim and and Indian!

OUCH!

Brennan and one little fire ant met each other Saturday night. His poor little hand. He was bit last year too, same finger...but this time his hand seems to have swollen up much more. Those are nasty little fellas.

A Reason to Give Thanks

Yesterday marked one year since Mike's precious mom Roz went to be with Jesus. As we reflect on her life and death we give thanks to the Lord for the hope we have in Him.
"Death has been swallowed up in victory." 1 Cor. 15:54

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13
