Just because...

...Samuel is getting so big and cute, I thought I'd share him with you! :) How I praise and thank the Lord for this sweet boy. Born 2 months early and so sick this summer that we thought maybe the Lord was going to take him home. Daniel was sharing with me the other day as he remembered the night he sat in the hospital watching our little boy struggle to breathe. Through tears he prayed asking the Lord that if He was going to take him, that he would do it quickly so he wouldn't have to suffer long.
But the Lord kept Samuel here. And how my heart overflows with love, thankfulness, and joy each day! Oh that his life and the lives of each of our children might be used to bring glory to the Saviour.
Timothy and I have our desks next to each other with Samuel's bouncy seat in between. We tend to get easily distracted from our work :)
He's just so smiley...all you have to do is look at him and he just grins.
So many handsome men in my life.... :)
Not much new around here...just a normal, calm week. The again, maybe that is new...we haven't seemed to have many of those this year. :)
While the older ones study...
...the younger ones are getting married...yes, it's a normal day.


Uncle Joel, Aunt Deborah and Cousins Ian, Caleb, Ellie, Brianna, Davy, Peter and another in tote in tummy are due to arrive Saturday. We appreciate your prayers for safety as they travel.

  2. He is so CUTE! (Samuel, I mean). It was good to get a "normal post." ;) Made me miss you all more. ;) Oh yes, and congratulations to Susannah and Nehemiah, as well. I am hoping her fashion sense will improve a little by the time the REAL event occurs. ;) That picture cracked me up!

  9. The pictures of your precious baby are so encouraging! What a joy to see him happy and healthy. I know many people prayed for that sweet boy...God is gracious!

    School had kept me so busy that I have not peeked at blogs much. I have "missed" you, but prayed for you during your storm and aftermath.

    Have a great day!
