Happy Birthday to Little Bear!

It's Little Bear's 4th birthday today! Happy Birthday, Little Man! We love you so much, and we are so grateful that God chose to place you in our family, through adoption. We have been SO blessed by your joy-filled presence in our family. We pray that God grows you in this coming year, that you learn more and more, and grow to love Jesus with all of your heart. We LOVE you!!!

August and September Birthdays

We had SO much to celebrate during the months of August and September, so I'm putting them all in one blog post.

I celebrated my 40th birthday this year (August 6th),
surrounded by wonderful family and friends.

Me and Papa Bear (aka: Michael, aka: the hubby), who threw me an amazing party.

Me and the other BWOGs (aka: Beautiful Women of God)
LOVE these ladies!!

Celebrated Papa Bear's Aunt Sara's 71st birthday in August.

Celebrated my niece's 3rd birthday in late August.

Celebrated my father in law's 65th birthday, and our Baby Bear's 1st birthday (which happen to be on the exact same day!), in early September.

Here we all are: "C", "S", Papa Bear, "E", and Mama Bear

Celebrated "C's" 17th birthday just this past Sunday.

And today is my dad's 65th birthday!

God has truly blessed us with so many birthdays, so many celebrations of LIFE!

Thank you, God, for all that you have given to us, but most especially for your Son, who took our sin upon Himself, so that we might have ETERNAL LIFE.
