We have had the joy over the last three weeks of seeing four adorable bunnies being born and now growing up!! Hannah bred one of her bunnies for the first time, and about three weeks ago Ella gave birth to six babies - four survived. It has been such a delightful three weeks watching them grow... and Hannah and Ryan are so enjoying getting them out of the cage and holding and snuggling them. Hannah has also had new subject material for her photography!!
Slipped in there was my birthday - thank you to Hannah for my beautiful cake that you made, to mom and dad for the gorgeous flower arrangement (my favorite color theme purple!) and to Danny and the boys also for the wonderful and thoughtful gifts I received! Ryan and Jacob wouldn't allow me to do ANYTHING that day that I didn't want to do - what sweethearts! Matt even got off work early to join us in a family dinner out!
I am TRULY blessed to be loved so much by my wonderful family... the biggest blessing in my life is the privilige to love and serve each and every one of them. I don't say this as a cliche, but I really do find my greatest joy in loving and serving my husband and children - I cannot believe sometimes that I get to be Danny's wife and I get to homeschool and love these four special children. I know that at the end of my days I shall have countless regrets, but one thing I know I shall not regret is pouring my entire heart and life into my children, homeschooling them, and loving them more than I ever thought it possible to love another person. I have so many faults and have made so many mistakes, but my children KNOW that they are loved. They know I am FOR them. They know I shall ALWAYS be on their side to encourage them, pray for them, and be their biggest fans. By God's grace I will endeavor to fill their life with love and encouragement all the rest of the days that God has ordained for me to be in this world.
I love you Matt, Jacob, Hannah, Ryan and of course, Danny...
