Happy Birthday John!!

On March 30, 2007 we celebrated my brother John's birthday. Twenty years ago, he was born six weeks early and without the help of what was then modern technology and medicine, he wouldn't have made it. I am so grateful that God was watching out for him and that His hand of protection was upon his life. John, I couldn't imagine life without you. You bring a smile to everyone you are around and are one of the most giving, loving guys I've ever known. I've watched God form you into a godly man who loves Him and I've watched you grow in your relationships with Him and your family, through good and even bad times. I am and will forever be thankful that you are my brother. Happy Birthday, I love ya.

A Birthday Wish

Happy 18th Birthday Bethany!! I remember jumping up and down for joy on the sofa cushion (which was on the floor for some reason or another, lol, some thing never change do they???!!!) when mom got home from her sonogram and informed me that you'd be a girl. After two brothers I so wanted a sister, and I couldn't have asked for a better one. Over the years you've become my best friend and I've come to treasure all the times we've shared day in and day out. You are an example of a Proverbs 31 woman and at the risk of embarrassing you....your husband will be a blessed man. I've learned from your example and submissive spirit. You are wonderful taking care of the younger ones and helping out in the home. Keep following the Lord; I can't wait to see what He's going to do with your life. Oh, and you're welcome for all the things you learned NOT to do from watching me. At least some one benefited from my hard head!! Love ya Lotzzzzzzzzzz.

Oh, How The Years Go By......
