It's been awhile!

I know it's been awhile. But life has been really busy. 2007 has really been a great year for us. To those who don't know the mighty God we serve, that probably seeems like a rediculus statement.

2007 was full of trials, especially the last few months. My husbands family had many things happen, including many deaths. We also had the illness of our oldest son. It's only trials like this that really cause us to draw closer to Him. He's the only one that holds the answers. It also draws us closer as a family.

I'm still in awe of the wonderful miracle I have seen take place in my eldest sons life. He is growing so fast. He is growing into such a handsome, caring, and reliable young man-way to fast. He loves Church, family, and school. He is in band and loves it. I just can't believe he will be a teenager this year.

My other two children are growing so fast also. Joseph is 10, he has had perfect attendance this year in school. He has also managed to stay on the honor roll all year. I love him being at my school. He is at an age where he goes back in forth from looking up to his big brother, to being jealous-saying his brother thinks he knows everything-(to which I reply that's because he is almost a teenagers and that is the way they are). He doesn't like that answer very much.

My Allison seems to be maturing so much faster than my boys, she is 8 going on 12. She also loves the Lord so much. She loves reading and math. She reads all the time now. She has also had perfect attendance this year and remained on the honor roll. It's amazing to me the toys now a days. She got a baby alive for Christmas, a dog that talks and knows her name, and my brohter, Dale, sent her a barbie that has a dog that poops. Just amazing. Allison also loves to sing, and write.

My husband is so amazing. He has been such a Comfort to me this year. He has gone back to school. He's doing great. I can't believe he has been able to do so much with all that he has gone through with family illnesses and deaths since school started in August. He wants to get a teaching degree and then work on his masters to be a guidance counselor. He loves his Camping Ministry and loves helping young people.

I will try to blog more this new year, but won't make any new promises.

Happy New Year to everyone!
