Our Little Gift update...

By -
So here's our little Christmas gift... growing ever bigger and stronger!! A healthy heartbeat and quick movements! The tiny kid was actually kinda quiet for most of the u/s - but woke up for a few minutes and showed us a few moves; and i think by the end may have had the hiccups from so much excitement. :) He/She was measuring a few days behind... but nothing too serious or worrisome. The measurements put us at around Christmas Eve, but they won't change any dates cuz it's still so close to our original. So we'll have to see what the 20 week u/s shows... both in size and gender! :) 

Here's our precious baby. Isn't he/she just so cute!?!?! 



This is big brother ... checking out "baby". He likes to look at the u/s photos and tell momma/daddy about the baby. :) Seriously so cute! 


We are planning a big gender reveal party/photo when we find out what we are having!!! Milo, Tim, & I will find out at the actual u/s - and we will reveal to family and close friends at the photo op. later that day/week. :) With a fun party to follow ... all color/gender themed of course!!! 

We are thrilled about our expanding family and thank the Lord daily for His blessings!!!

There's No Place Like Home

This December marks the start of our 4th year in our old, cozy home. It's this time each year I begin to think of all the hard work that was put into making this old farmhouse our home. It took months of work, (mostly time of Grandpa Keith's), and lots of imagination. I remember when Daddy took me thru the first time, the place was SO dirty, run down, and in dire need of some TLC!! But the little details and charm of the place got to me and I knew we just HAD to live here!! It was perfect. I fell in love. It had so many “old” things and so much history to it; from the kitchen cabinets, to the door knobs, & who doesn't just LOVE the hand crafted cabinets?! And it wasn't just the house, it was the surroundings. The fields, farms, country way of life, and of course the location... so close to our families! Beautiful spring/fall flower collection  The wheat fields This is our road ... down by the river. BEAUTIFUL during sunset!  The beau...

PRAISE GOD!! It is with the greatest joy we announce that our family has made it to the 50% mark in our monthly fundraising goal! Praise God! With that being said, we are setting new goals and continuing on with eager anticipation as to how God will work in the coming months. We've set some goals and are praying to be at 80% by October so we can attend the month long pre-field training near Asheville, NC. Our goal is reach Stockton-on-Tees at the beginning of the new year! In other news, God has been answering prayer here in our simple way of living in our front yard! I am writing a post dedicated to how God is moving and what we are doing, but until it's all done, I'll just recap it quickly. God has been bringing folks to our yard, expanding our friends in the neighborhood and making old things new and beautiful. Our front yard is now a gorgeous oasis of light and beauty and we are excited to have more summer meals, parties, and conversations around the new rock p...

So Much Thankfulness

By -

  This year, as many years before, there's SO much to be thankful for. Seriously tho, the list goes on forever. God blesses us so much every year and sometimes I think we take that for granted. His mercy and grace alone are enough to make Thanksgiving day full of overwhelming hearts and thankful spirits ... but He blesses us with SO much more. It's incredible. Not only does God forgive me and rescue me daily from my sins, He gives me a beautiful little family that loves me for me. A husband that is devoted and dedicated. A very cute little guy (that's you Milo Man!) that loves his mommy dearly and makes life so much more adventurous. Another cute guy that will be arriving oh so soon (hopefully). And parents that still take care of me, even when i least expect it.  These are just a few of the wonderful things that I am thankful for this year.  My salvation in Christ has taken on a new meaning in the past year; helping me to realize there's not much more in life that ...
