Hapy birthday, Bek!

Bekah turns 8!

Bekah Ruth turned eight years old today! It's always fun to celebrate a birth day around here. . .and we have quite a few opportunities during the year. But, we are each only given the one day a year and the birthday kid seems to relish it! It's neat to see the siblings make and buy things for each other and enjoy the giving and surprising that it brings. Paul and I enjoyed praying blessings and we all share what we appreciate about the birth day kid.

Bekah may have been born eight years ago, but she was conceived in the mind of God since eternity past! He chose June 14, 2002 for her entrance into this world and He knit her together in the months prior. He ordained her family, her siblings, her life. We pray that He has also chosen her as one of His Redeemed.

Happy Birthday, Bek!

New Place. . .new pets. . . .

Jon, Josh, and Bek (Sarah taking the photo) get ready to walk (from left to right) Jacob and Esau, twin black labs, and Little Guy and Chewy (goats) around the block. . .
Caleb doesn't look much like a barn cat yet. . .but he'll grow into the role! I thought we should call him "Tiger" since he's orange and I graduated from Clemson. . .but since Caleb means "dog" the kids thought it would be fun to call him that. . .odd children. . .Paul's humor, I think. . .


Sarah shot this one of the new geese family. . . we haven't named all the wildlife. . .no doubt in time. . .

Hello, again!

Well, no promises of getting started back on blogging. . .but it is amazing how the days fly by. I really have no more time today to blog than any other (we all just have 24 hours, right?), but for a moment it is relatively quiet and feel plagued that I have not kept up with photos of the family. The oldest four are out on a walk with some of our newer family members!

Since the last blog, Naomi celebrated her 4th birthday and Joshua turned 11. Sarah just entered the "teen years" which we calculated will continue now for about 2o years! New baby is growing well and should be here in August. Jael has entered a new phase of "little girl" although she still has the toddler look. With "big girl panties" and talking she is now a playmate and not just a "destroyer". The past months also brought a move to a new location with LOTS of land.
