A few pictures...

Naomi took some pictures of Isabella for me and they turned out so nice!

Elaine made this purple sweater and hat; so precious!


Elaine does it again with this unique burnt orange sweater with owls.


This dress is a hand-me-down that Gramma Kathy's family (well all the girls)
get their photo taken in when they turn one. 

I told her to smell the flower...




We will not hide them from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works he hath done.       -Psalm 78:4

A few moments at school...

Isabella and I go to school all week but one day. 
Even though it's a lot, we enjoy it and know that it won't always be this way. 





She's a little behind in her English, but she's making excellent progress!!

Happy Birthday, Isabella!

On November 20, Isabella Jean had her first birthday. She has been such a joy and blessing lent to us from the Lord. With help from friends, we are definitely learning how to raise her in the fear and admonition of the Lord. We want her to grow not only in her knowledge of her naturally sinful nature but in the graciousness and mercifulness of her Savior.

I keep being reminded of Keith Green's "Song for Josiah"...


Here a few birthday pictures!






Isabella loves her Grandpa!
Don't ask me what that balloon is...

Happy Cowgirl!



Joanie just lent us this rocking horse and Isabella enjoyed the first ride so much. I simply had to share the pictures and video clip with you. I'm so very thankful for friends who are committed to us in practical ways.

Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbor that is near than a brother far off.   -Proverbs 27:10

Vacation Pictures

Just sharing a few photos from our Hicks' family vacation.

A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24
