Mark's birthday

Today is Mark's birthday and Millie's last day of ballet for the summer! She had an open house so Mark, Andrew, Zach, Morgan and I went. So much fun to see the little ones dancing!


Here is Mark and Millie singing happy birthday!

This is the first picture taken of all of us as a family!

Andrew has been learning lots of good things since he's come home. Learning is key and knowing that the people that are teaching you, love you very much. Sometimes it's not easy for him. He would really like to go his own way many times, because that is what he's done for many years. Mark and I keep praying for wisdom and know that so many of you are praying for us and him. That's why we have many good moments together. Andrew was meant to be in our family. He's our son and we love him!

  1. I'm sure that learning to live with kids of all ages is going to take some time for him. Just as having a teenage boy around will take time for all of you. You have such love in your family and I think you will find ways around all the tough things.

  2. Oh, yes! Instant teenager...ha ha! But, he looks happy and seems to be having fun :) How is Zach handling the 2nd son position now? Praying he'll enjoy having an older brother to hang out with :) Can't believe the changes in John David and Mackenzie! Millie is a very pretty ballerina :)If the girls ever want to get together with Samantha, let me know <3
