The Graduation in Coming

I think that I am beginning to feel the pains of letting go of a grown child. I have worked with a group of girls for 6+ years. They are graduating this year and I will have to say good-bye and watch them go all around the country. I am sad and excited all at the same time. Each of the girls is so different. They come from different backgrounds, different interests etc. They are so unique and yet they fit so wonderfully into the body of Christ. I will have the chance to "be their leader" for one more Sunday. My heart feels as if it will burst. I know that I will be a blubbering mess... I trust God with their lives. I know that each one has been presented with the gospel and so I know that they know Truth. I pray that they will grasp onto it and live out their faith in Christ in every area of their life. I thought that I would share a few pics and I will share more stories as graduation gets closer. This weekend alone we have over 20 graduation parties to go to. WOW!!! Lord bless these kids...may they bring your HOLY NAME to all areas of the Earth. Go with them as they embark in the "adulthood journey"

Puppy fever

Okay, I can honestly say that I am tired. The puppies are so cute...but they are also so very small. I am amazed that they are going to be a big 60 lb. dog someday. The puppies keep me up at night. I am worried that Bailey might roll over onto them etc. But you know what? She is an amazing mother. She has more than once blown my mind by what she does to care for the little guys. It really was one of the most amazing things that I have ever seen in my life. The little puppies have tiny little fingernails, a little fur coat, teeny weeny paws...it is amazing!! Their little eyes and ears are still closed, but they are growing daily. :)

2 bundles of joy

Well, it was definitely not what we expected. Bailey did great, but had a tough delivery... only 2 of the 6 pups made it. It's so sad that the other 4 little lives never experienced a breath of their own... but we are so grateful for the two that made it!

the puppies are coming... the puppies are coming!

Well, they are being born as i write! It's pretty amazing. They are SO tiny! We'll write more when she finishes in a few hours.

Happy Anniversary Paul!!

I just want to let you know how much I love you babe! I know that we are so different, in many ways... but I also know that we compliment each other perfectly. I LOVE YOU!! I am thankful for you and what you add to my life. I am so very grateful for you! I can't wait to spend another 3 years with you!! :)
