Anna, my oldest niece is 4 years old going on 10. She is so precise and knows exactly what she wants. I love her sweet sweet smile and the way her dimple on her right cheeks shows when she laughs. She is always wanting to read books & show us how amazing she is at ballet. I cherish holding her in my arms and holding her hand. I am so excited to see the woman God has created her to be and what He has in store for her.
Lauren, who needs to be on the front of a magazine is turning into a curious toddler. She is always asking questions about everything. Her personality is so bubbly and I just know that she is going to be a blessed handful for her parents. He bright blue eyes are so breathtaking along with her super tan skin (I wish I could get that tan with 75 spf) She is a wonderful sister to her brother. I cant wait to hear about what she learns when she starts preschool this fall. God has given her such a wonderful family & curiosity to understand things.Isaac is the superhero of the family. Recently potty trained he was always running around in his superhero underwear and goggles. His handsome smile melts me every time. He is a cuddle bug and I wouldnt change that for anything. God has made him into something else. His vibrant personality will light up any room when he laughs.
William is the blonde hair blue eyes cheeks you just want to pinch baby. He is such a happy boy always smiling and giggling. His non stop drooling and babbling shows you just how fast kids grow up. He didnt want to get out of the pool as he kept splashing and playing in the water. I cant wait till he is walking the next time I see him. This little man has a wonderful father as a role model so I am 100% that God will do great things with Him as He did with my brother.Jude, last but not least the newest addition to our growing family. Mr cuddle bug and definitely a mommas boy. His sweet subtle cry makes me want to hold him forever. My favorite thing is carrying him in the ergo. I feel like such a mom when he falls asleep on my chest all cuddled up. I cant believe he is 2 months already. He is crazy tall & skinny already. I am so excited to see this next year as he grows into a baby. He can smile now since the last time I saw him. next thing is a laugh, oh and he has a dimple like his big sister as well : )
I am SO incredibly grateful for the family that God has given me. THankful that they all have God as the center of their lives and are living everyday for Him. My sister and brother are the best role models for me and my future family if God has that planned for me. They are not just a brother and sister but best friends, supporters & encouragers. Their spouses are a perfect match for the and I thank God for bringing them into my life and the way they love my brother and sister endlessly. I pray someday that God will bring a man into my life who loves Him and serves Him with his whole heart and will love me for who God has made me, and have the same desires that God has put on my heart to serve in Haiti.
My parents have been such amazing support my whole entire life, from my ups and downs to bad mistakes and always supporting my many moves. I am so thankful to spend time with them and that they are always planning a time for the whole family to spend time together. They are always pushing me the right direction and loving me. I am so grateful to God that He has given them peace about my serving in a third world country and that He has given a similar desire in my dads heart. I have so much joy when spending time with my mom and dad and would not be where I am today without their support and commitment to their crazy youngest daughter. Thank you mom and dad for your never ending love.
Until then I go back to the caribbean, I get back to Haiti wednesday morning to my sweet sweet students & friends. I cant wait to embrace them and continue building relationships. I will be teaching for 2 more weeks and am praying patiently for where God will open the doors up next in Haiti. Please pray for continual strength and rest in His plans.
" To shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace" Luke 1:79
