One of the best things in the world....

is the sound of kids playing and singing. It is Sunday afternoon and all the kids are upstairs playing while listening to KUDL. The station is playing Christmas music now and the kids love it. In fact, Noah just had everyone stop playing so they could sing, "Mary did you know". They have such sweet voices and we like hearing those tender moments when they don't know we are listening.

We are so thankful to have our own home again and we especially love it when it is filled with the laughter of little ones. They are growing so fast! For those of you who are catching up, Autumn is almost 12, Noah just turned 10, Eli is 8.5 and Lucas is 6. This makes for a very loud house at times....but we wouldn't have it any other way. It is hard to explain the ups and downs of our past year but God has used it to bring us closer to Him. We are thankful for a new start on life and believe that God's timing is perfect. His WILL, will always be accomplished no matter what our actions may be. God continues to shower us with Mercy and Grace and for that I am thankful!
