Thanksgiving....family style

Children make everything more enjoyable, well almost everything.....except sleep!:) This year Grammy and Paw Paw Mathews came for a visit. Grammy helped the girls and I bake pies. The girls and myself were wearing the special aprons Grammy Grimes sent.

We made pumpkin and pecan pies and the girls decorated them in their own special way.

It was a great dinner. The turkey was yummy and David was a huge help.

After that, we all napped.  Then we had a blast talking and visiting. Colleen got all dressed up for us.

We are so thankful for the many blessings God  has given us to enjoy.

A Time of Thanks

I see everyone listing all the things they are thankful for online right now. So here are a few of our favorite things. God has been so gracious to us.

1. Children's smiles.














2. The teens we are able to minister to.












3. Beautiful flowers that grew this summer.
4. Icecream.....Do I really need to say more about that?
Ok so I know this is a really short list. But there are so many wonderful things we are blessed with blogging would take all night!

Growing Fast

It is always so amazing to me how quickly the kids are growing. Devin is walking and talking more and more. Fiona and Colleen are finally getting a hang of the whole potty thing. Ian is reading very well. We are just trying to figure out what next fall has for us. We have always planned to homeschool our children, but God may be leading in another way. We have much prayer ahead.


Ian is playing T-ball for the first time this year. It has been wonderful for all of us. We have already been able to connect with several new families and are praying for opportunities to share the gospel and the love of Jesus.


The Girls love to play tea party...and we have learned (at Daddy's suggestion) to take it with us to ball games to keep them occupied. It helps...a lot!


Ian's first game got rained out but we got to enjoy a mommy and son breakfast anyway!


Devin is quite the ham. He is a joy to talk and play with. Love that kid!


I've been working in our flower beds the last 3 years and we are finally seeing some results. I love this rose bush, its beautiful and it smells so sweet!


I can't wait until my beautiful Mother's day gift from last year a hydrangea blooms, it s getting LOTS of buds on it!


I've been doing a lot more work as David's secretary this year and this was one of my big projects. A new, more modern shirt for outreach!



I love what it says and how it looks!

That is a quick update on our life right now...hopefully more to come soon!
