exciting. I personally think that the fall and winter months bring family together in a much closer way. From
the pitter, patter of feet running down the hallway, to the drip, drip of the rain on my window, I love to watch
and listen to my surroundings. There is always something going on in my big family. School is in full swing
now. Oh, did I mention...we are home-schooled? Yes, all 6 of us. I don't know how my mother does it, but
I honestly am so grateful for all that she does for us! There are many blessings and joys to living with a big
family. Now, I'm not saying it's an easy day ever day...but God is our strength and wisdom. I am grateful
every day for the lives I am a part of. My sister Sydney is my closest friend, and I love her dearly. She
continues to grow every day and I have high hopes for her future. Josiah is now in his "teens" and even
though that's a transition in itself...I really enjoy the fact that I am seeing him develop in the gifts the Lord has
blessed Him in! Then there is Sara, what a little sport! She is so energetic and full of laughter and joy, seeing
her grow from the cute, tiny, baby she once was, into the beautiful lively 11 year she is now, what a blessing!
My dear Kristen, I nickname her Krissy. What a soft, lovely, dear girl she is. With a heart to follow the Lord
at such a young age...it's awesome. Now, concluding with the "baby." Cole! Oh my goodness, that kiddo
brings so much joy to our household. I smile whenever I think about him. I am so, so blessed to have such a
bright little dude in my life, and even more blessed to call him my little brother! So for the record, I really
must sum it all up for my siblings...I love them would be an understatement. Honestly, I really do, there just is
not words to describe it I guess! So before I end this memoir, a super cool moment I had a few days ago
with my fantastic dad is, we are going to memorize the book of James...or attempt too! Will you take up the
challenge as my dad and I have, to memorize this wonderful book of the Bible? I hope you do! I'm excited
about this and I hope you will take it on.
Blessings.
Again, a lovely post my you my dear!
