What are our goals as parents? We believe that it is not only to be 'tall trees' ourselves, planted firmly by streams of living water, rooted deeply in the Lord, but also to raise up 'tall trees' of our precious children. That's what we're trying to do around here, and we'd like to share with you just some of the things we're doing as a family on our journey of growth in the Lord. We hope you enjoy the adventures!

Another Birthday!

Yes, Nathanael just turned 14 on Saturday!
We had his party on Sunday after church. Good friends and family joined us and we all enjoyed ourselves! Nathanael chose carrot cake again (no surprise there!) and horses for the cake-topper. I think he might turn out to be a cowboy yet!
Not everyone likes carrot cake, so we made vanilla and chocolate cupcakes too!
And of course we had a pinata! And Miss Christine Cools was the one to beat it to pieces! She was the first to swing, which was appropriate because it was her first pinata ever. Way to go Christine! Good swings!
