My girls

These are my girls.

I miss them.

Joanna got married on Saturday.

She was beautiful.

They laughed.

They made memories.

They smiled pretty.

Now she’s married!!!

And I wasn’t there.

My heart was broken.

I am in NJ learning how to love our special people.

Learning how to share Jesus with them.

So I had to miss this big day.

But this is just the beginning.

of saying goodbye to things that I treasure.

But what God’s doing is so much bigger than us.

And I’m so thankful that these friends understand that.

Congratulations sweet friends!!!

We love you!

I miss you all already!!

Happy Birthday My Love!!!

This Man is my Best Friend.
This Man is my Leader.
My Laughter.
My Confidant.
My Accountability.
He is passionate about the Word.
He is quick to forgive.
He admits his mistakes.
He keeps no record of my wrongs.
He sacrifices for my good.
This man loves me deeply.

This man is my Baby's Daddy. :0)
And he's an incredible Daddy.
He loves this little boy like no one else could but Jesus.
He plays, laughs, and trains this beloved child.
Jude and I are so blessed to have him. And so thankful God gave him to us.
Happy Birthday and Happy Father's Day Jon!
We love you so much!!

P.s. Happy Father's Day to our Dads!!! We love you both SOOO much and are so thankful for such wonderful Dads!!

We Miss You Already!!!

Jon's Mom moved overseas for work for a year this past Sunday and we already miss her dearly. But we did take some wonderful pictures during our last weekend all together.

Enjoy CeCe!! We love you!!!

Scrub-a-dub-dub! Jude Loves the Tub!

Our little guy is full of expression these days! He's just such a treat!
I picked up these letters in the dollar section at Target and he sure did light up! They also make great teethers! He's due for a tooth any day now, as he doesn't have a single one yet!

We're just about ready for all of our traveling this summer! We'll be all over until August.
Here's what our schedule looks like:

June 4th-10th in San Antonio, TX

June 12th-22nd in Pennsylvania for our Pre-Departure Orientation

June 23rd -July 1st in Houston for VBS
(we're the spotlight m-ssionaires!)

July 1st-July 28th in NY/NJ area for training for our special country

Whew! We'll be SO busy! But the Lord has opened LOTS of doors for us!

Our target date for leaving is mid-to-late October!

We are so thankful! Hope you enjoy the pics!

Playing Chase

My guys are just so much fun. I couldn't have picked a better bunch.

Time has FLOWN by! Jude is almost 9 months old and crawling all over the place! He's also quickly learned the art of pulling up on everything in sight. We're sure he'll be walking by the end of summer!
He has a few new tricks like
waving hi & bye-bye,
covering his eyes and playing peekaboo,
and patting his mouth like an indian!He giggles and smiles all the time and is just such a joy to us! He takes SO well to strangers and lets just about ANYONE hold him which is a great blessing considering we're around new people all the time. We praise the Lord for such an adaptable and pleasant child.
He's curious as ever and is "exploring" new things
around the house like
...outlets!!
So, as you can imagine, he's hearing "No, no" a lot these days!
He's generally a good eater as long as the food isn't green. :0) He's eating yogurt, toast, a variety of fruits, and a variety of veggies.
He's self feeding...which is fun to watch!Jude loves to move and play. People are his primary entertainment. If strangers are around he hardly ever fusses!
He's most definitely a sanguine!!
He's also started following us around the house!
Where ever we go, he follows right on our heels.Jon has started to play chase with Jude and Jude gets such a kick out of it. He just laughs, and laughs, and laughs.
Enjoy the video!
