Life Lately

The kids have been having fun in P.E.

 

A Painting With a Twist birthday party for a friend. 

 A beautiful weekend!

College Day

 Kaleb playing with all of Blake's old movie Cars.

 That one time that we all passed around a stomach virus.  5 of us down in 7 days... (not counting Gram, Papa, and little Aiden) Will update when we are done.  I am home today with a sick kiddo!

Happy Valentine's Day

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13:13

Class Parties

The kids were excited about their class Valentine Parties.  They each brought their Valentine boxes and cards to pass out.  Barrett's class made bags, but he wanted to bring the lid from his box to put on top of the bag.

 They all had fun and came home with way too much candy!

Happy Birthday Blake!

Happy 11th Birthday to Blake!  I can hardly even type that number because I am in denial!!  Wasn't he just born?!

 He woke up to huge basketball balloons.

 He had a special donut breakfast, as we sang Happy Birthday to him.

 He did a little dance as they sang Happy Birthday on the morning announcements at school.

 His birthday was on a Wednesday this year, and since that is a church night for us, we took him out to dinner the following night.  He chose Genghis Grill, yum yum!

I love watching this boy grow up (although it is very sad to know how quickly it is happening).  I pray that he continues to seek God's will for his life as he grows and matures over the years to come.

Baby Dedication

We participated in our church's first Baby Dedication, since the finalization of Kaleb's adoption.  This is a time to dedicate our children, as well as ourselves as parents, to raising our children in the truth of God's Word.  The pastor introduces each child and then as a church, we pray for them.

 We took pictures with some of our family who were there for this special occasion. (not pictured Samantha and family, Hawkins family)

 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Proverbs 22:6


Happy Birthday Kaleb

Happy 4th Birthday Kaleb Lee McIntire!!

 Kaleb woke up to his 4 birthday balloons.

 We took him out for a special birthday dinner.

 Sunday after church we had a small family party for him.

 Happy Birthday to our courageous boy!  He has come so far and we are so proud of him!  He brings lots of love and laughter to our family!
