Welcome to our family! My deepest desire is to point others to Christ, who continues to dramatically changed me into His image. May God's glory be revealed through the ups and downs of our family.

Giving Birth




One of my truly favorite things in life is having a baby. I mean, literally, giving birth. Yes, it hurts, but the absolutely amazing miracle completely outweighs the pain. I love it, and would do it again, in a heartbeat. This past baby, Gracie, was by far my easiest labor. It shouldn't have been, she was measuring a week ahead for her head size, and I was worried she wouldn't make it out. Plus, she was my biggest baby. My water broke at 1pm, and she was born at 5:30. I pushed for 4 minutes! I still cannot believe it... She is so layed back and easy-going. Such a difference in comparison with the pregnancy, which was VERY hard. I included the picture my mom took when my water broke, right before Gracie entered to world, and our first couple pictures after she was born. What a miracle, and a perfect gift from God!!

The effects of homeschooling, ministry and a third baby






What are the effects? Not getting lots of things done! :) Sorry for the slow updating, here are some recent pictures of the family. I am really wondering how everything is supposed to get done... Homeschooling, ministry, family, household chores, quiet time, and exercise... Any thoughts anyone?
