who knew that this little boy would one day take my hand and dance with me. and so we danced...
"we went dancing in the minefields
we went sailing in the storm
and it was harder than we dreamed
but i believe that's what the promise was for..."
-andrew peterson
and we're still dancing. and keeping our promise. and as every year passes, no matter how many minefields we dance in, we will always love each other.
we rejoice over the way God has blessed our lives. we are madly in love with our beautiful babies.
and now our little boy looks just like that little boy above. i couldn't be more thankful. my prayer is that he grows up to be just like daddy. because daddy is a Godly man, the servant leader of our family, a compassionate husband and a tender father.
we love you, kelly/daddy.
may the Lord bless your life in the last year of your twenties.
happy birthday (on sunday), my love!
looking forward to more dancing...
"so lets go dancing in the minefields
lets go sailing in the storms
oh lets go dancing in the minefields
and kicking down the doors
oh lets go dancing in the minefields
and sailing in the storms
oh this is harder than we dreamed
but I believe that’s what the promise is for
that’s what the promise is for"

Happy Birthday to Kelly! My hubby's bday was yesterday, too! I feel like you're my kindred spirit with all of the common kids' names, hubby's bday, etc, ha! My poor Rob though - we celebrated his bday with cake in my hospital room as I recover from being hit by a car while jogging last week :( Just last year on his bday we were saying goodbye to my sister as she entered the gates of Heaven. He is such a good sport, though - totally acted like cake in the hospital room was the best thing EVER! The kids sure as heck didn't mind where we were eating cake...just that we were eating it in general, ha!
You have a beautiful family and your posts are always so inspirational - THANK YOU sweet friend!
