Happy Birthday Jake!!

Today was Jake's 6th birthday.  He had cupcakes at school and got to wear a special birthday badge. This evening we celebrated with family and it was so great to see everyone.  Jake sends out a very special thank you for all of his nice gifts.  Jake, your a wonderful boy and we're honored to be your Mommy and Daddy.  We hope you had a very special birthday.

Murals

My husband and I have a little side business painting murals. We especially love to do murals for childrens' rooms. It's something we love to do together, but recently he completed this mural on his own for Bryce (a little boy who happens to love construction equipment.) We all have gifts and talents that God has given us. I'm thankful God gave Stu artistic ability to share with others. This mural is right above Bryce's bed. We hope it brings him joy everytime he sees it.

Remember the book "Where the Wild Things Are"? This is a mural we did together for a preschool:

Prayer Request

UPDATE: Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. It could take up to 6 months to know how Roger's vision will be. However, he came through surgery just fine. Thanks Again!!

My brother-in-law Roger, is an amazing guy with a servant's heart and love for the Lord. He has an eye disease called keratoconus. Due to the disease, his cornea ruptured and he's undergoing a Cornea Transplant in the morning. We would greatly appreciate your prayers for Roger.

Thanks and God Bless!

Counting down!!!

Every day Jake asks me "how many days until Halloween, mom?" I love this time of year because of all the excitement, get togethers and opportunities to create traditions and memories. Halloween -- then Thanksgiving --then Christmas. Just love it. And, every year Halloween decorations get better and better. Check out these cute items from Horchow and Ballard Designs
