Father/Daughter Dance

Every year Eve's school holds a Father/Daughter Dance. This year Eve and Ed decided to wear their Chinese silks. Aren't they sweet.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is such a wonderful times for our family. Eve's name comes from that time, because after years of infertility, it was only when I was down on my knees before our Lord on Chirstmas Eve of 1997 that a child was given to me. God gifted me the child of Eve. "Thank you Father"

This Christmas Eve during the candlelight service our daughter sang "Away In a Manager" for our church family. Simply beautiful. It is so humbling to see this child God gifted to us giving back to Him.

Here is a picture of both our girls that evening.

Thank You Lord

I just loved decorating the tree this year. It is always one of Eve's favorite things to do, and it was even more magical watching Ellie. They both went through the boxes "carefully" removing each ornament. Eve would tell Ellie the history of the ornament, where we got it, or who gave it to us and why. Then they would find "just the right branch" to hang it on. We always play Christmas music and drink Egg Nog. It was simply a wonderful time.

Thank you Lord Jesus for coming down as a child. Thank you Lord Jesus for each of our children.

Ellie's 2nd BIRTHDAY

Ellie arrived at the BIG 2 today. It was a wonderful day and we are so blessed to have this lovely child in our lives. We give God all the glory.
