12 Years Old!

I missed posting this birthday boy last month! Grandma is looking out for him and reminded me.  After I commented that in just one year he will be a teenager, he said, "Hopefully, I'll be more mature by then."  He can be so cute sometimes!

Fifteen

Our second child, and oldest son, turned 15 a week ago.  He just keeps getting taller and his hair is getting curlier and he's becoming a hard worker. We love him so much.

He's 13 today!!

Happy Birthday, my son!

My Baby is 9!

Not only did my oldest daughter turn 16 just 11 days before, but my baby is 9!!!  It doesn't seem that long ago that I was in constant baby, nursing, diaper mode.  Sniff.

But she is a sweetie and loves to help me in the kitchen.  She loves kitties and clothes and even math!  It's great having a little sister in the house.

Sweet Sixteen

Our lovely daughter, our first born,  turned 16 today.  My head is spinning.  She is a great gal, a big helper around here and her siblings love her attention.  She loves the Lord, music, drawing, writing, her cats, her family and friends and books, books, books.  She is a blessing to all of us. Happy Birthday, Honey!

Happy ReBirth to Me!

Thirty years ago (yesterday) my life changed forever! On October 9, 1980, I became a follower of Jesus Christ! What a wonderful 30 years it has been! Of course, there have been ups and downs. Most of the downs were my own fault. God is always faithful. I love Him so much. The words to this hymn have been going through my mind the last couple of days:

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

There are more verses, but that is all I know. Here is picture of me at a Christian Retreat when I was one year old :)
