Family

Yesterday we went to see our niece, Autumn, perform a praise dance at her church. She did a spectacular job! Here are some pictures we took after church...

Happy First Father's Day

Here are a few of the many pictures I have taken of Steve and Titus together. I think the love between the two of them shows through the pictures. Steve has been an amazing father to our little Titus. I am continually amazed at how the two of them interact. Titus adores his dad...he now says "dada"...he crawls to the door when he hears Steve coming in...he loves to watch his dad and laugh at Steve's funny faces...he mimics Steve. I count it a true blessing to have a great husband who is also a great dad.

Who can fix my broken bike?

Whose strong hands can hold me tight?

When I need someone to make things right,

It's my dear old Dad.

Who does things that help me grow?

Who shows me so I will know?

When I need someone to catch or throw,

It's my dear old Dad.

Dads come in all shapes and sizes,

Big or small, short or tall,

Someday I hope that I will be,

Half as great as he.

Who helps me know right from wrong?

Who works hard all day long?

When I need someone to sing along,

It's my dear old Dad.

Dads come in all shapes and sizes,

or small, short or tall,

Someday I hope that I will be,

Half as great as he.

At night before I go to sleep,

I thank the stars for giving me,

The greatest man in history,

It's my dear old Dad.

It's my dear old Dad.

It's my dear old Dad

Backyard

I am enjoying having a backyard to take Titus out to play in...he seems to be enjoying it also.

Summer Home

We made it to Pennsylvania! We arrived Wednesday night at 9pm. We are now settled in to our "summer home." God worked things out for us in such an amazing way. The house we're staying at (we're house sitting for a couple doing ministry work in Oregon) has everything that I've missed the past 9 months living in Florida. There is a huge fenced in backyard with beautiful flowerbeds, a large deck, a breeze coming in the many windows, neighbors that aren't too close, birds chirping outside the many windows...I could go on and on. It truly is a breath of fresh air. Living in south Florida is so much different than life in Chester County. It feels wonderful to know that our families are close by and we'll be able to see them on a regular basis for the next two months. In the past two days we've seen parents, sisters, nieces and nephews. Steve's brother's son, Darnell, lives with his mom in Alabama. Darnell has also come to PA for the summer and we've been enjoying our time with him these past two days. This afternoon Steve was able to spend some quality time with him while Titus and I were visiting with my mom, sister and her two youngest kids. When we got home we found them in the backyard at the basketball hoop...
