Introducing my family...

Thought I would take a minute to introduce you to my family...

First, my sweet husband Chuck. Without him I would lose my sanity, literally!! He keeps me grounded, reminds me to always look to God and makes life fun and interesting!!

Second, my 10 year old Shelby. The one word I would use for her is energetic!! She has always been my toughest, head strong child. I think she is a lot like me!! We tried dance with her when she was little and it was not active enough. So now she is a fearless gymnast!! She would rather be outside on her ATV or digging in the dirt anyday!! True tomboy...

Next, my 7 year old Kayleigh. Completely opposite from her sister she would rather be curled up with a good book , doing crafts or playing with dolls. She loves all things girly and especially loves all kinds of food!! She is my thinker... she does nothing without processing it first. She has always been the quiet one but has recently begun to come out of her shell.

Next, our miracle almost 2 year old Willy. He had a rough start to life and gave us quite a scare coming into this world. He taught us patience, strength and trust in the Lord. He is my angel and has the cutest dimples!! He loves all things boy; trucks, tractors and playing in the mud!! We are blessed to have him and thankful he is healthy and well.

Last, our foster baby girl who is just 3 weeks younger than her brother... Jack-Jack. What a blessing... it is amazing how God can lead you to a decision and how you can watch the blessings pour down from just trusting him. We have cared for her for a year now and loved every minute of it. She is a bundle of energy, and despite a rough start in life is doing amazingly well. She loves to be on the move... every second!! She makes us laugh with her funny faces and dances!!

And me, I am the wife and Mother of this awesome family. Sometimes I just have to pinch myself. How did I get so lucky?? I wake up everyday and love the fact that I am able to spend time teaching, caring, loving and laughing with my children and spouse. I enjoy the simple things... reading, cooking, teaching and playing. I have learned through my life to trust God... The Will of God will NEVER take you where the grace of God will not protect you.
