Oh my how Emma has grown in her 1ST year of life!

God bless you and watch over you until your next Birthday our little darling.


When Randy and I count our blessings, at the top of our lists you will find salvation, the greatest blessing of all. Following that would be the blessing of having a spouse which loves the Lord, and at the same time loves his/her mate and is faithful to each other. Our family would fall into list about here. I consider it a an honor that God blessed me with the opportunity to give birth. Truly, it was a wonderful experience. It is impossible to describe the joy overwhelming you at the first sight of your newborn child. We love our children with all of our heart and soul. They have brought us much happiness, fun and laughter through the years since their birth. We never dreamed that feeling of happiness, fun and laughter could ever be "out-done" by another person! That is until.........until Emma Marie, our first Grandchild was born one year ago!

We have learned very quickly that Grandchildren are so much fun!!! Emma is very entertaining, she causes us to laugh until our sides are about to split and our jaws ache! What a personality she had developed and she enjoys showing it off to Papa and Nanny.

Yes, we count our blessings with tear filled eyes. We are so grateful to our Heavenly Father for our precious Emma Marie. We are long distance Grandparents, by the use of skype we talk with her about 2 or 3 times each weekend. She looks forward to seeing us on the computer screen and we are just as anxious to see her waving at us from across the ocean. It is our prayer to be an example of Godly Grandparents for Emma, that she might see Jesus in us. Our desire is for Emma and her big sister Kimber to become children of God. Would you please pray that Randy and I will be the Godly Nanny and Papa Emma and Kimber deserve and that at the right time both of them will follow the Holy Spirit's drawing.
