This is my crew these days! Time goes by and things are constantly changing. Even though I still have six at home there is still a void left from the two that are no longer home. The world of independence calls but a mother's heart always beckons to nuture each one of them still. They are the fruit of her womb.
My first born girl is starting to change and blossom into such a young lady. She has a very soft and sensitive heart and I love her dearly. I am enjoying seeing my little girl grow and become a little lady.
One of a kind and she knows it, this one is the apple of daddy's eye! He loves all his children but there is a soft spot for her.
You can pick your fruit but you can't pick your sister. I hope these two stay close as they get older, they do a lot together and get along quite well.
This bunch is a blessing! I have such wonderful children and we have such awesome friends; I hope they all know how much I care for them.
The apples don't fall far from the tree as you can see. There were so many on the ground due to all of the rain we had but that didn't stop all of us from enjoying the orchard. We trecked through the mud and the mushy apples. My good friend and her kids are such an inspiration and encouragement to me.

The Seed Must Die A resurrection cannot occur without a death.A new life cannot begin until the old life is buried with Him.“Truly, truly I say to you, except a corn of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone: but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit” (John 12:24) The fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth (Ephesians 5:9). “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.” (Matthew 16:24). Christ must increase but i must decrease (John 3:30). He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live for themselves, but for Him which died for them and rose again.” |
Beautiful family and pictures!
