Quite a Ham!

Here's my little girl who's growing so quickly!

Our Relaxing Weekend...

We spent the weekend at my grandparents' lake house. It was very relaxing and enjoyable. I'm very thankful for the forgiveness of sins which allows me to enjoy my daughter & husband. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

All cozy with a real wood fire! I love wood fires.

Daniel's first trout of many.

I made carmel apple sticky buns...ooh, they were good.

Isabella loved going down by the lake...

and fishing with daddy! She wasn't too sure about the fish though.

Daniel caught 18 good sized trout all together!!!

Isabella wants to learn to fish like her dad!

She was not too sure about the fish though!

Learning Quickly!

Hope you enjoy this clip as much as I do!

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...
