We love our kiddos so much. I wanted to update about their lives, as it's amazing to see how Jesus has blessed them in growing up. I love my kids deeply and Jeremy and I would go to any distance for them. We are so proud that our older three have all publicly declared baptism in Christ as Lord and little Addison has accepted Jesus as well. She has raised her little hands to accept Him into her heart to save her from sin and death. She is so cute when she talks about him not in the grave anymore, in her little, preschool voice. Archie, our baby, and second son, is such a gift. He is the sweetest, gentlest, and best behaved baby we have ever had! We know this because we've had some (and still work on attitudes) in our house lol. We are all very opinionated in our home, but have really learned to communicate better towards everyone. Such a gift when you uncover little conversations and real hearts.
Asher- Our fifteen year old son. He has his driving permit, plays sports and loves football, and works so hard in school and in playing drums in our church worship band. He decided to get re-baptized as an older mature youth, after a week at VBS a few years ago. He works so hard to serve anyone in church, like his dad, and has such a heart of kindness and love for everyone. He looks at the best in everyone. This mama is so proud of her boy.
Annabelle- Almost fourteen! Our beautiful, sweet, pure, loving girl. She works hard in school and is the best helper around our home. She helps with the babies, cleaning, and organizing. Her dad and she are tight. Very close. Best of friends. So cute when they fight. Lots of tears on her part and Jeremy learning to be very patient and sensitive. She tells him just what she thinks. Adorable. Her heart one day, to be a wife and mother. Her dad has already told her, "When you are married one day, you better give me lots of grand babies lol." She already monitors sugar intake with our littles, makes them the best snacks, and cooks for our family. Soccer is her favorite sport. She also wants to continue singing in the worship band and improving.
Avalyn- Our other beauty and vivacious little girl. She loves school and cheerleading. She is super smart and doesn't work that hard at it. She pretty much makes A's when not trying. She is a great artist, like her sister, and loves music as well. She loves animals, like her older sister, and is a great caretaker. When there is a need, she is there, good or bad.
Addison- Our third beauty! She walks and runs everywhere when the doctors used to be worried. She was a late bloomer developmentally, but is catching up and is in great health. The sweetest heart. She loves and raises her hand to the Lord, dances in front of everyone in worship, makes us laugh constantly, and says the most random things. She loves her brother and calls him her baby. "Where's my baby mama?" She is still our baby in this house and will be homeschooling soon with Abeka k4 and we are joining Classical Conversations for our homeschool community and co-op, which I have prayed for- for a long time for Jesus to bring, and am so excited about with other mamas. When you homeschool, at least for me, I need a community.
Archie- Our baby and second boy. Precious. Handsome. Sweet. Loves his mama and daddy and smiles constantly. Loves to laugh at his siblings and play with toys. Sits up now. Identical looking to Asher as a baby.
Our dogs- Chester, Coco (They are a part of the family)
Chester-Our rescue dog. We were told of him from a community that rescues pets. He was born and abandoned with his litter of puppies in another state. We picked him up as a puppy, and he had to say bye to his mama. I promised her I would take great care of him. It was so sad as she followed us to the gate to leave, knowing we were holding one of her babies. He was covered in sores, had worms, and was filthy. We had him on medications, special bath schedules, etc. Great for our kiddos to learn how to care and shepherd others.
Coco- The chihuahua. We rescued him from a pound when he was three in the Ft Lauderdale area. He is now almost twelve! He makes everyone laugh and looks like a bat when he gnarls his teeth. I tell him Jesus loves him and he criesw. Funniest and weirdest creature. He growls at us, then loves us, many times throughout the day. He loves to play with Jeremy and to get rolled over and to wrestle at eight pounds!
