If you're reading this blog, you probably know us pretty well. For those of you who may not, here's a little about our family we'd like to share.
Kevin and I were married in 1995. I knew when we were dating that God put the two of us together. He's the most wonderful man on the planet! He has a very gentle and kind way about him, he's the hardest working person I know and the most genuine person I know. He is juggling four different jobs, one of which is a small businesses from home. Not because he wants to be that busy or make a lot of money, he is simply taking care of his family. There's nothing he wouldn't do for me and the kids. He loves me more than I deserve and I am more in love with him with each year that goes by. We are members of the First Baptist Church where he serves as a deacon. He takes his commitment to our Lord very seriously. He is an example to me everyday!
As for me, I am a full time wife and mother, a part time respiratory therapist and now helping to run the small home business. Our children are young and they keep me very busy! Our little family is my life and I wouldn't have it any other way!
Our first born is our son, Bailey (2000). He's my chocolate lovin', straight A makin', let's see how this gadget works little guy. He is awesome! A typical boy, of course. He's into karate, piano and drum lessons and baseball. He loves to act crazy with his friends and at the same time, he has a very gentle and kind way about him just like his daddy. He loves his mama and the rest of his family. He fights with his sisters often, but at the end of the day he protects them! He will be a wonderful big brother one more time to Maggie. God has a very unique plan for your life my sweet boy!
Next is our daughter, Emily (2002). She's my athlete and my social butterfly. She's into gymnastics, karate and softball. She is loved by all who meet her and is a friend to everyone. She's my helper around the house and my shadow everywhere I go. We are pretty tight! She is beautiful, smart, shy and has so much more potential that she knows. Whatever she does, she soars high! God will use her to do great things!
And last (for now) is Sydney (2005). She is our little firecracker! She loves life and is ready to experience all that it has to offer. She's into karate and softball. Not a day goes by that we don't have laugh out loud moments with this girl. She is a very strong willed child and I believe God will use this personality trait for her good and His glory one day. She is also very tender hearted. I see a lot of love and compassion come out in her as I see her interacting with other children. She'll be great with Maggie!
The last little member of our family is a toy sized Yorkie named Sally. She came into our family in June of this year. She is sinfully cute which helps to keep her out of trouble as we are still in potty training 101.
I couldn't be a more blessed woman. We are a "real life" family with each of us experiencing a struggle of some sort at one time or another. My husband's cell/work phone never stops ringing, someone is always hungry, the dog needs attention, the laundry is never finished and sibling rivalry is a constant. Would I trade it for a life with none of the above? No! The life lessons we've learned and continue to learn are priceless! To have a christian husband, 3 healthy and beautiful children and one Chinese daughter on the way is icing on the cake!
Sons are an heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.
Psalm 127:3-5a
