Oh, HAPPY DAY!

Levi's prayer request in school yesterday was, "That I could pray to ask Jesus to be my Savior." He really understands so much for a 3, almost 4, year old, and it is so amazing for me to see the Spirit working on his little heart! We prayed together and he was so excited to run to the shower and tell his Daddy!! By God's grace alone, that's 3 down, 1 to go. :) "O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him." Psalm 34:8

Tickled Pink

Sweet Brother

Zane is such a wonderful big brother! He loves to play with Sullivan, and he loves to help her walk. She is very brave lately, holding "lam-lam" in one hand and big bro's hand in the other!

Little Miss Potato Head

My newest Accountable Kid!

When we would ask Levi what he wanted for Christmas this year, he would always answer, "Chores!" I know... hard to believe! He wanted to be just like his big brothers and have his own Accountable Kids peg board with chore cards to turn over and chores to do! He practically begs me to let him vacuum, play with his sissy, set and clear the table, etc... Needless to say, we got him his very own Accountable Kids and I finally got his name painted on. He was SO PROUD of it when Will hung it right under the other boys'. I just love these pictures!

Just playin' and stuff

My little peanut tends to get into things while we're having school. She loves this cabinet which is off-limits! Notice how she keeps checking me to see if I'm watching?




Peek-a-boo!




Sulli loves playing in her room!


Not sure what happened here... but she's cute even when she cries!

Schuman Family Christmas

We had to have another birthday celebration for Titus, who just turned 6. I promised him I'd make his chocolate peppermint cake again - and a bigger one this time - so we wouldn't run out so fast. And, of course, the Schumans had to get in on the celebration too.


Nonnie and Sulli enjoyed each other, as always.


This is Levi one evening as he was waiting for dinner. It's hard to be little and to wait!


This guitar from Nonnie and Popsie was a HUGE hit for a boy who can't wait to take lessons! He wants to lead us in worship around the campfire when we go camping. We can't wait for this, Zane!



We got Penelope the Pup for Sullivan because she fell in love with her at Macy's. Every girl needs a pink puppy, don't ya think?



Mom and Dad brought this adorable baby doll and accessories for our baby. She absolutely loves it!


"Good things come in small packages." How true. (Thanks for the cute outfit, Aunt Cindy!!)



Sullivan loved feeding her "bebe" her "wawa" and taking her for a stroll. At 19 months, she will only walk with help - yes, this girl's on her own timetable - so, she will only stroll with help too. It's hard on the back, but well worth it!


Sulli models her "bling" that came from Santorini (and Nonnie).


Titus and Levi enjoyed driving their fancy new truck (from us and Non and Pops)!

New Year's Day!

Bruce and Cody surprised us last-minute with a visit on New Year's Day! It was so much fun to see them so happy and in love. Thank you both for the generous gifts and for sharing yourselves with us! We enjoyed the laughs and catching up; we love you both so much!!!
