Wow! We can't believe we actually have a blog! How cool is this? Definitely feeling like we are movin' up in the world!! We are excited to allow all of you to be a part of our lives as our family grows & as we grow in our love for each other!
A few words about us: October will be 7 years that we have been married! Sometimes it seems longer, sometimes hard to believe it's been that long! We had our first daughter, Alexis Marie, in November 2003. Next fall we will be sending her to kindergarten! Are we really that old? We welcomed our second beauty, Petra Nichole, in August 2005. She just turned 3 and is definitely going to be our tallest! She is a size ahead of her age in clothing. In March, we gave birth to our sweetie, Nova Raine. Weighing in at 9 lbs., 4 oz. & 19 inches, she was our heaviest, but shortest. She lost quite a bit by 3 days & is definitely our smallest now! All our girls are sweet, but definitely have their moments. Lexi is outgoing, smart, funny & remembers everything! She definitely holds us to our word. Petra is our more strong-willed, less compliant child. She knows what she wants & will get it however possible! So far, Nova has been sweet, smiley & sleeps more than the other two ever did!
We have hit quite a few rough spots in our marriage these past 7 years, but God's grace is evident as we continue to work thru the mud & slime, finding love, forgiveness & peace. We are committed to our marriage even in the times when it seems impossible to find happiness together. We are never quite sure how couples can live life without Christ! Without him, we are sure we would not have made it this far!
Chris is still working at Keystone RV. So far, his job is secure as our nation hits economical lows & layoffs in Indiana are inevitable. Our prayer is that God will provide for us as he always has.
I am at home with the girls everyday. Though this is trying most days, I am grateful that my children are not being raised by someone else. I love them more than anything and am thankful for their health & laughter!
That's all for today! Welcome to our blog! Let us know how you are doing! We love you!
