HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BEAUTIFUL QUEEN!!!

Thank you for how you have stood by me these 7 years we’ve been together! You truly are an amazing woman and I can’t imagine a life without you!

You have brought so much to my life and have really helped to change me into a totally different, better person! I am awed by how you care so much for others and give and sacrifice to do the job of a mother and missionary!

I am so very proud of the way that you can witness to people and connect with them and explain Jesus’ love for them. I learn so much from watching you interact with people and the way you care for the children, not only our little ones, but others kids as well! You treat each one as if he or she was your own and you have eternal patience with them. (Except for when Lily has one of her episodes…. you don’t seem to have patience for her then, ha!)

The Lord and you together have taught me how to be a father and how to lovingly raise our little ones. You don’t see me doing this, but I do watch you often and learn from you as you talk to the kids, reason with them and daily “raise them up in the way they should go” and the way that you put such an emphasis on their time spent studying the word!

You say sometimes that you think that you are not a good mother! Ha!! That is the biggest joke ever! Nat, you are tops in my books! I just hope that these few words can communicate to you, just how much I love and appreciate you for all that you have done for me and for how you have sacrificed and given to the Lord these 7 years we’ve been together!

You are the perfect wife and perfect mommy! I love you so very much!! I hope you have an awesome year, my love! Happy Birthday!!!

Your extremely fortunate husband
Chris

Happy Birthday Daniel!

Happy Birthday to my good friend Daniel! I pray the Lord pours many blessings on you this year and that you will continue to grow and be an even greater witness for Him! I'm very happy to have you as a friend!

I'm back!

Sorry for the lack of posting. I've been a bit busy so I took a little break from posting. I just got back from the Youth Retreat which was very wonderful. I'll post photos from it as soon as I get them.

I've got a lot of photos of the kids piled up from the last few months that I'll be posting randomly so you can see them, and hopefully this way I'll catch up. Have a good day!
