So I see .....

My blog posts have "Fall'n" behind......SORRY

Second grade and Kindergarten are in full swing! Our girls are six and seven and as you can see both are growing strong and beautiful!!!

Both are losing teeth, is this really happening? Cute as it may be, it's another sign that our children don't stay little long. Conversations are more mature, questions on Salvation are deeper, clothes have to be a little more "in", they love one another but have their days of bossiness.

They love when we kiss and dance around the house, they love lip gloss and high heels, they love date nights with daddy and coloring with Mommy(I think its because coloring makes for GOOD talk time)!

These are the days I'm going to want more of and wish they would never end, this stage has to be a favorite. As they grow they communicate well BUT they still love to be rocked, read to, and tucked in!!!

So, we get the question often and we have two little girls praying for not one but two of these...any guesses??

Daddy would love these in our home and Mommy's heart wants one too!

Join us as we pray and ask the Lord if there is a little boy (or two) that He would like to add tour family!

Fall Festival 2015

"Mommy, lets find another long line so you can share Jesus again!" 

They're listening and absorbing every detail! I was so proud of them to play with another child at our Family Fall Festival, during that time that child's mom ask me, "so what do you believe?"
What an open door and my girls were there to witness me sharing Christ with a sweet lady in our Community .

She loves the water and her daddy King Triton....guess who!!!!

She was thankful her prince charming found her foot to fit the glass slipper!!!!

This year our girls served an hour at the Family Fall Festival.

E said she now wants to do that every year! 

Proud momma here!

They're never too young to lead and be an example of servanthood!

H truly has a servants heart and loves to serve rather than speak at times!

E says...

"i love saying great job get'cha some candy!"

Our sweet friends!!!!

Happy 6th Birthday E....you are a LIVELY 6 year old!!!!

"6"

We did a twenty day countdown, this girl truly believes each day was made for her! She's excited about life, her family, making friends and having fun!

She woke up to her made to order breakfast, presents and a little love!

She's lost her two bottom teeth and the top ones are loose. She's 52.4 lbs and can out run us any day. She's bouncy and loud, she's happy and loves a party, she's strong willed and able to stand up for herself, she's Pretty and prefers that over being CUTE! She keeps us laughing and reminds to enjoy life and don't blink...they grow up too fast.

Normally we do family adventures, not parties. However, we allowed parties this year and she chose the soccor field with inflatables and friends. 

Her features are BEAUTIFUL!

H made these for all their friends to enjoy at school on E's Birthday!

Dinner was as Ledo's for pizza, face "arm" painting pizza with friends!

This child wanted a Redskins party.....THATS MY GIRL!!!!!

I do believe every child we invited show up and E LOVED IT!!!!

Second Grade & Kindergarten

It's all in the preparation.....the dress, the hair, the shoes, the book bag, the colorful pencils, the lunch bag and water bottle....phew....getting to school on Day 1 is TIRING!!!

Emmi loves an Elsa braid and this year Hope wanted a headband. Both love dresses and tennis-shoes! Emmi was especially excited as she has dreamed and talked of this day with she would be at "Hopey's school"....thats her endearing name for HVN and HVN allows no other to call her that name! 

I pray it's a year of learning to read better, I pray that the numbers flow but more importantly, I tell our girls  to "Love Jesus and Be Helpful!" We've talked many days about what that looks like in word, deed and in our hearts!! Jesus protect them, guide them and give them friends that love Jesus!

Summer Days are Long but.....

The season seems so short....
I love each day with our girls! As a working mom Im thankful my job as  RE Agent allows me to make my schedule! It gave me days to work and a many days with our girls each week. 
The girls swam year round last year to get good at their swimming skills, I just know they've grown scales. They both love the water and are good swimmers. Next year I hope to say they are great swimmers! 
We served long side Daddy this summer on the "Collide" mission trip. We visited our Nations Capital to share Christ and serve a Church Planting friend. It was a great eye opener for H&E, the "WHY"S" are endless nowadays, however it makes them wise, tender and motivated to serve when we share why we do what we do. 
Pray for their tender hearts as the Lord is drawing them to Himself. They pray and ask for prayer (they BELIEVE Jesus is who He says He is). Pray for them to realize their need of Jesus (they know they sin, they also know they need Jesus forgiveness for salvation).Pray that the Lord continues to reveal Himself to them (when they break out in a Praise song randomly, it encourages my heart that the Spirit is working).
Enjoy the shots below of our fun filled summer....we are treasuring the time!!!!!
