Joy, joy, joy

We changed the name of our blog to reflect how God is working in our lives. He continues to bring a message of living joy filled - regardless of our circumstances. If you look at the fruit of the spirit (Galatians 5:22) wouldn't you know it right after love comes joy! Also, check out the scripture to the left.

Our circumstances are really good, no complaints here, but we could choose to complain if we lingered long enough about stuff, like lack of sleep, sick kids in the middle of the night, temper tantrums, or endless other minor things. So here are some of our recent joyful moments!

First Halloween in TX - 2 batgirls and a startled black cat! The neighbors all get together for a cookout and hand out candy. Funny - if we were in Illinois, the last cookout of the year would likely be Labor Day weekend!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Just a regular morning before school - needed a 3 month picture of Sam!


Oh and we can't forget our 15th Anniversary. Thanks to some wonderful neighbors we had dinner out without children for the first time since Sam was born! It was fantastic.
