We are truly blessed by our children. Not only do all three of them have a passion for our Lord and Savior but they are all gifted in so many other ways also! Below is just one of the ways which each of them bless us, I hope you are just as blessed by these clips. I truly can't wait to see what great things the Lord has in store for these little men and woman. Enjoy!
And now princess Emiliah!
Obi the next Bing Crosby!

Jeshuah is back from DC
We are so glad to have him back in our arms. Emiliah and Obadiah had a hard time without him too!! Jeshuah is such a huge part of our family(well each one of the kids are,they each 'bring something different to the table')He is a rock, stability almost.Its like with a puzzle, you can finish the puzzle without that middle piece that has part of the nose,eye and cheek, but its definately not complete.When he got home he said, "Mom, I'm not even that tired and we were up till midnight and then up at 7 every day!" He was asleep by 8 that night and then slept in till 1pm the next day...17 hours of sleep!!WOW!

A Quick Note
How am I possibly going to make it? I am already having anxiety attacks about this?? AAHHH!! My 'baby' is leaving in 2 weeks... okay, so he is 11 years old and very wise ,resposible, capable of taking care of himself... but...but... he is still my 'baby'!!! We are so so so proud of Jeshuah. He was nominated, last spring, to represent our community up in Washington DC at a leadership conference. Its an honor and will be a great stepping stone for his future. He received this because of his accademic success and some sprouting leadership skills that his teachers and his school saw in him and now a commitee of senators and congressmen see in him also. Last spring and summer we had to raise $2500 for him to go ( I asked that too, "If its such an honor than why do you have to pay so much?" They choose upto 250 kids across the US, it includes travel to and from and then to all the places they will be visiting, the lodging, the materials, and they have oodles of guest speakers-government officials and top businessmen) and what seemed almost impossible (we had a few weeks) became possible. Its amazing how God provided. People sent everything from $5 to $500 and every bit just added up. I even went from business to business(the ones that claim on commercials how involved they are in helping the community?) and no company could help or would help...except our insurance lady and our company we work for. But what it came down to... what we were blessed by... was our family,friends and coworkers and even a couple of strangers. It was humbling to do at times,but we were blown away in blessings. So, he is on his way November 1st. He will be flying by himself!!! He wont know anyone and he will be gone for 1 week!!!! When we bought the plane ticket, Ben and I looked at eachother with tears in our eyes. I know that we have got to let go of our kids and allow them to be confident,independent,strong,etc,etc... but this is just such a huge leep for me. Always imagined I would allow my kids to gracefully grow independent, we would slowly let them go and it would take until like college. Not put him on a plane by himself at 11!!!!!And then be in the hands of strangers for a week without seeing him!!!WAaaa!! Okay, so my crying is half joking. We are very excited for him and a little nervous too. And hopefully I can download some pics for you by that time. Please pray for him... and us during this time. The other day we went and bought some professional clothing for him. He looked so cute, he looked like he was straight out of a magazine. Dress shoes and all. He's our little scholar. We'll keep you updated.
