What are they looking at?

Praise baby is a big hit here in WV for Andrew, Mady, Kloe and Lila. Andrew and Mady listing to praise baby almost everyday. Andrew loves music and Mady loves the pictures and music so why not watch it. :)  Lila and Kloe watch it every now and then. In this pictures you can just see they love watching it.

Andrew is doing great :)

Andrew has learned how to eat all by himself. I can't believe just last summer he was learning how to eat table food. Now he eats table food all by himself. He is getting so big and learning so much. We all love it. Just look at him it makes me smile every time I see him eating or learning something new. Good job Andrew Briggs.

Happy Birthday Jonas

I love their smiles

Today Jonas turned 17 years old. I can not believe where the time goes. Jonas has changed so much since he has been home. He loves taking pictures, or fixing something. He could be an engineer. I can't wait to see what God has in store for you.

Eli came from Ethiopia and today is his birthday. He is turning 5 years old. He looks so big now. Eli is a sweet little boy. He loves taking care of his little sister Zoe and loves playing with his brother Ezra and sister Ella. Happy Birthday sweet Eli. I wish we could live closer to you so I can give you a big hug.

An Easter Scene

We did it last year and doing it this year. It is such an easy and a great idea for the little ones to learn what is Easter all about. It is three crosses on one of them where Jesus  had died and the tomb where he rose three days later with the stone rolled away.

We are still waiting for the grass to grow :)

Practice and Perfection

1 John 4:12  If we love each other, God lives in us, and his love has been brought to full expression through us.

  Love is a gift from God that must be used in order to be useful. The more you love others, the more your capacity to love will grow. The more you sacrifice for others, the more deeply you will care for all people.
 You also have the wonderful promise that if you love others, God the source of love lives in you. The more you practice his unfailing love, the more his presence is perfected in you.
 The blessing of love is twofold. Love others, and not only will your love grow, but God the spring from which all love flows will show himself more powerfully within you.

Enjoying Nature

This is the Black Tulips from Bulgaria. I hope they grow this Spring. They didn't last year

Look at this pretty flowers that we have already. Today and tomorrow should be the nicest days of this week. If you just look at them God has created the most beautiful things. Look at this flowers and if you think about it we are like these flowers to him. We are the precious people to him. Thank you Jesus for EVERYTHING
