Day 3...God of wonders beyond all MAJESTY!

#23 silence, just the ticking my clock while my kids nap.

Life...






Once again it has been awhile since I have updated my blog. My last post was in honor of my wonderful Grandma who passed away this spring. I miss calling her up and hearing her encouraging words and advice. Since then we have also had a very dear friend pass away suddenly. God has once again reminded us how precious life is. So in our house we take every opportunity to celebrate life. We are so blessed to have our little Emily Johanna!
