Squishy picked up his glasses today. He has complained about having trouble reading lately so we made a trip to the eye doctor. They gave him a very mild prescription but it seems to take the edge off when he reads. He is so handsome!

My sweet Carter came to me today with a messed up face. He had been riding a drift-bike with his brother and fell off. His little leg looks as rough as his sweet face.

Jillian has been asking a lot of questions in the past week or so. Yesterday she told me that she prayed to ask Jesus to forgive her sins.  Tonight she came to us and said she was ready to ask Jesus to come into her heart. What a blessing to pray this with your child!  Praise God! The family circle is complete!

This was so funny that I had to take a picture of it!  Sometimes John and I think our church congregation is to "fuddy-duddy" to get a little moved my the Holy Spirit.  A group of our members came back from a mission trip to St. Lucia and spent an evening service sharing with us.  The guy that went on the trip to help with music is leading music during this service and got the crowd to get a little Penecostal!  It was so great to see this that I had to take a picture of it!  I love it!

Jillian signed up to play T-ball for the first time!

What a fun Coffee Girls during Spring Break!  We reserved the gym at church for three hours and filled the gym with 23 children and 12 adults. This was one week I was glad we were NOT at my house! Anya and Tima had to leave before we got the picture. I am more than blessed to have such wonderful friends!

March 12

Jillian is beginning to ask questions about becoming a Christian!  What a joy to know that our children love The Lord and want to experience Life with Him!  Tonight was just questions and answers with Bible reading time. We are going to be praying for prepared hearts, wisdom and understanding!  

1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
