Christmas season was lovely and spent with both sides of the family. Saturday with the Morris family, Sunday with the Tierney-Harms family, and Sunday with just our family in the morning and more Morris family in the aftertoon. It was a joyful few days...
God's child. Doug's wife. Evelyn and Matthew's mom. Doing my best to enjoy (and capture on film and in words) our fortunate life.

Things Pondered Part 17
Evelyn is 17 today. Every year I stand in awe that she can be another year older, and every year I stand in awe at the young lady she is becoming.
This year she has learned to drive, learned to navigate changes and additions to friendships, and learned how to get a job and do it well. She still is getting straight A's and works hard to be the best student and friend she can be. She is warming up to the idea of looking at colleges, but it seems overwhelming for her and she isn't quite ready to think about it yet. She loves her family, loves her silly cat, and loves Jesus. She makes us laugh and keeps us on our toes. We couldn't ask for a bigger blessing than our Evelyn Joy.
She had a few friends over this past weekend to celebrate and enjoyed her time with them.
You are a delight, dear Evelyn... may you see the good story the Lord is writing into your life this year!!
Happy Birthday!!

Matthew is 14!
Matthew is FOURTEEN today!!
Our lives would not be the same without our boy... and we love him more than words can say! He is so kind, big hearted, an encourager and a good friend. He loves football and playing his trombone, and is a straight A student. We are so proud of who is he becoming and know the Lord has great plans for him!
Here is a snipit of his day...
Happy Happy Birthday Matthew... may this be a year full of growth and blessings! We love you!
