a job in which I get to see God's hand move everyday.
a clean house. In fact, a house. Messy or clean, I am grateful for it.
Brandy and Timmarie. For too many reasons to count. But for this list, I thank them for loving my children like their own and being willing to care for them while I work. It has made going back to work bearable.
the opportunity to pray for others. It allows me to step out of my own troubles and bring my focus back to the Lord, where it should be...
Timmarie: Full time wife to Chris and mom to Addison and Brody. Loves gaudy jewelry, traveling, coffee, winter clothes, ice cream, and classic hip hop. Hates pharasitical behavior, especially in herself. Plans imaginary vacations.
Chris: Loving husband to Timmarie. Fierce father to Addie and Brody. Loves Jesus, MMA fighting, Diet Coke and a good card game. His heart can be found in a pile of mush when holding Koleson or any other baby. He is also known as Addison's hero or Brody's wrestling partner.
Addison: 7 year old Jesus freak with more attitude than one could ever prepare for. She loves making up dances and teaching them to Alivia, asking for a sister, and second grade. This girl will mother anyone and anything. She also enjoys wearing mismatched earrings and did I mention asking for a sister?
Brody: 5 year old autistic phenom. Or at least we think so. He loves Disneyland, coffee, phonograms, animals, and the computer. He also enjoys taking everything you could possibly google about autism and blowing it right out of the water. Most endearing, he likes to cause trouble and then smile and hug his way out of it.
Dareth. I am journeying through this life trying my best to honor my God and learning lessons along the way. I have a blessed and beautiful life. Below are 2 of the biggest reasons why...
Alivia, 5 years old. She is a kindhearted and opinionated little ball of sass. She is loyal and loving and knows what she wants. Most days will find her doing crafts and singing her original hits. And if you need to be bossed, she's your girl.
Koleson, 2 years old. He is a spirited boy that loves balls and trains and is figuring out he has a voice and how to use it. He becomes more independent each and every day, but still likes to snuggle with his mama.

Lovely! I am so glad you have Timmarie and Brandy too. I'm glad you have known them for all these years. And I'm glad I know the three of you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the privilege of keeping them. They make my family's life richer. We love them both beyond what I thought was even possible.
