Savannah's December Piano Recital
Click the link above to view the videos. I am trying this another way since the first time didn't work. I'm not a very good blogger...just can't seem to make the time, especially when the computer malfunctions. I spent an hour last week and then again last night and then everything froze up. Hopefully you will be able to view Savannah playing Fur Elise and an arrangement of What Child is this for her December recital. She practiced very hard and did very well, praise the Lord. It is wonderful what she has learned in just a few short years. She has a fantastic teacher and we hope she will continue to work hard and use her talents to bring God glory. We are thankful for the piano we were given four years ago - a specific answer to prayer, and for the opportunity to take lessons.
Faith is the Victory
We are a family of imperfect people who love our Lord Jesus Christ and love each other. We are made up of a mom, a dad, three lovely girls, and four handsome boys. We are privileged to be off on a new adventure to serve in ministry in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. We have made many dear friends around the country and have family in many states. This blog was created to stay connected with our dear ones and to share our Faith. Faith is the victory in our life!

Snug and cute |
Happy Victoria |
Today we were able to get out and go Christmas tree hunting with dear friends. It was a clear and crisp day, perfect for tree-cutting. As always, there was plenty to be done at home, but this is a time our family looks forward to every year - choosing and decorating the Christmas tree. It was a treat to be able to go with friends. The kiddos had a great time with their pals and enjoyed hot cocoa and candy canes when we were done. The only hard part was choosing from what seemed like thousands of trees. I think we found the perfect one, though. It looks great in the house, even though it's not decorated yet. I hope you are not too "busy" to enjoy this CHRISTmas season. Believe me, I've been there. Take time out for what really matters. Step back and thank God for small blessings and make memories together.
I think we found our tree at last! |

Anyone for log-rolling? |

Happy First Birthday Sophia!
Our youngest little sweetheart is one year old! The special day was Friday, November 11 - Veteran's Day. The past year really has flown by for me, more so than any other. It must be because it has been very busy and full of so many changes. We've had quite a bit of sickness in our family during the past two weeks, but we were still able to have fun with Sophia. She had her very own cake, homemade just for her. First birthdays are fun, and while we've gone all out for some of our children, she was happy with just a simple celebration. She has generally been pretty easy going and happy, but has shown a bit of a temper lately. She is now walking pretty well and very pleased with herself! She loves music and makes an attempt at singing and dancing. Eating is one of her favorite pastimes and she likes pretty much everything we offer her. Her brothers and sisters love her to pieces so she is never lacking attention. I find her playing with cars, helicopters, and Batman as often as baby dolls. Of course, she could have fun with a cardboard box or the wastebasket. We're so thankful for our chubby happy baby! They grow up so fast...sigh.

Happy 5th Birthday Jeremiah!
Since I am still trying to catch up, I wanted to backtrack a little and post Jeremiah's birthday before Victoria's. Autumn is birthday season in our family and I can barely keep up. Jeremiah turned 5 on September 24th. I can't believe my chubby little baby boy is 5! He is our sweet youngest boy, sometimes called "the weeping prophet" at our house. Yes, he is sensitive, but can be equally cheerful and has a great sense of humor. He loves God, his church, and his family. He's a smart little guy with a love for numbers and books. I enjoy taking him on errands with me because he is very cute and entertaining. Thankfully, he makes friends fast and loves it here in Washington. His best friends, according to him, are Bubba and Zachary B. and all the Houston Boys. He told me we should stay in this house forever. I said "Really?" LOL. He also said he misses Hayden B. and Tyler V. in Virginia. He loves sports and his favorite is baseball. We got a T-ball set and a baseball cake for him and had a cook-out with dear friends, which he thoroughly enjoyed! We love you little buddy!
