Sweet Noah!

Our sweet Noah will be 2 years old in only a few days, and we enjoy him more and more each day. He is truly a gentle giant with piercing blue eyes that usually make us (me!) melt and give him almost anything he wants. He is speaking so much and loves to dance and giggle. He is such a blessing to our family!

Spring is HERE!

Today was a beautiful, warm day and we just couldn't stay inside! So, we headed over to the park and had a wonderful time with the warm breeze, purple-flowered trees, and sunshine. We have so many fun parks close to our house it was hard to decide which one to go to!

Coloring Eggs!

While they know that Easter is all about Jesus' death and resurrection , they do very much enjoy coloring Easter eggs! They enjoy seeing the white eggs become the brilliant colors of spring. What a transformation - similar to our transformation with Christ. We are so thankful!

3 boys = 3 ties!

We recently visited Amaury at one of his conferences and, as usual, the boys wanted to "dress like Daddy"! So . . . we pulled out the only 3 ties they own and dressed em' up! Are they not the most handsome little boys you've ever seen :)

Time Flies! -- when you're having fun!!!!!!

I came across these photos from 2006 recently - when Nathan was 4 and Anthony was just 1. Noah wasn't yet in the family! I was reminded how quickly time flies, and as my mother says, "they're only little once." We are so blessed to have healthy, beautiful children who are growing in their knowledge of the Lord every day - and even teaching us a thing or two now and then!

Out of Africa - Amaury goes international AGAIN!

God provided an opportunity for Amaury and 2 others to travel to Kenya in east Africa to do discipleship training in early February. They were able to train pastors and other lay leaders in Nairobi, Mombasa, and Malinde (the last two were on the Indian Ocean coast). He was impressed with the beauty of the country and the people and of their dedication and love of the Lord. We praise God for what He is doing in Kenya!

More . . . Out of Africa!

What an awesome opportunity and experience Amaury had to be able to share with the Kenyan pastors and lay leaders - some of whom travelled on foot for more than 2 hours (sometimes in rain) to come to the training. They were in 3 different cities and did get one day to enjoy "safari"!
