THEY'RE ENGAGED!


FINALLY!  They finally realized they were meant to spend the rest of their lives together. I think, at least, our family has known that for some time. Stephanie has always been very strong willed and and a bit high maintenance but it's been almost a year and Michael is still hanging in there.  He's definitely a keeper!
Congratulations, you guys! We love you both!

Happy Birthday, Stephanie!


I don't really know how this happened, but our Stephanie turned 23 today.  23. Years. Old!  Sure, she has thought she was 23 since she was 3, but now she is a real, honest to goodness 23 year old woman!  A woman who can change the oil in the car, whip up a new skirt in one evening, lay ceramic tile, make a quilt, and play guitar. A woman who desires to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with her God.





A woman who we are very proud to call daughter. We love you Steffi!


Micah 6:8
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.

Adoption Month

 For Stephanie's senior music project she chose to do a celebration of adoption for National Adoption month.

                                                                                      


                                      It was a family affair with Evonne reading a poem she wrote.
                                                                               



                                           The girls put  programs together



                                           Mandy did a Power Point and Alex set it up.


                                                   I spoke:

                                                     



                                        The band from Stephanie's school came to help with music.


And Stephanie and five beautiful little girls, who will never again, have to worry about where they belong, sang:

ALL I REALLY WANT FOR CHRISTMAS!

Rehearsal video with Stephanie, Evonne, and Alanna J. and Meigan, Kailee, and Leianna K.

Stephanie is off to camp



Friday, Alex and I made the long trip to take Stephanie to her job as camp counselor for the summer. Her time home was too short, and we'll miss having her here. This is her second summer as counselor at this camp, and she is very attached to it. I wish she was attached to one a little closer, but she's doing what she loves, and we're very proud of her!

Stephanie's spring break


Stephanie came home for spring break last week, and left yesterday to spend the last of her break with her friend, Emily. It's always great and never boring to have Stephanie home, but now we need a spring break! We love ya Steph:)!

Jesus, Friend of Sinners by Casting Crowns

Jesus, friend of sinners, we have strayed so far away
We cut down people in your name but the sword was never ours to swing
Jesus, friend of sinners, the truth's become so hard to see
The world is on their way to You but they're tripping over me
Always looking around but never looking up I'm so double minded
A plank eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided

Oh Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to the world at the end of our pointing fingers
Let our hearts be led by mercy
Help us reach with open hearts and open doors
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9Kcm2OAWNA
