10 Glorious Years

Today Jody and I celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary. What a wonderful journey it has been! I would have never imagined 10 years ago that we would be where we are, doing what we do, and blessed beyond measure as we are now. We've had ups and downs, thousands of laughs and smiles and very few tears. We've watched Laci grow into a beautiful young lady and celebrated births of three precious blessings from God. I feel overwhelmed with emotion as I think back on the fulfillment that God has given me when he granted the desires of my heart to be a wife and a mother. I have moments where I feel that I fall short of the mother and wife I want to be, but I guess we all do at times. Still, there is no where I would rather be and no one I would rather be with than my precious family. Thank You, Jody, for the best 10 years of my life and Thank You, precious Lord, for blessing me more than I deserve.

The Huckleberry Garden

Our friend, Natalie Vondersmith, came a week ago to photograph our children. I have been glued to them for a week. You can go to http://www.natalievondersmith.com/huckleberrygarden to view the entire slide show.

She is such a talented artist and was a joy and a blessing to work with.

Catepillar cake

This weekend, I baked a cake for our friends Amy and Ben Swayze. Their son, Cole, turned one and I was so glad to bake his cake for them. They wanted a Pistachio-mocha cake, like ML's wedding cake, but we didn't want to give espresso or pistachio to a baby. So, we made plain vanilla cupcakes for his cake and made the catepillars out of them.
