Wowzers!!!

Our kids are growing up so fast.  They're about to be 6 & 8 years old.  Makes me sad, but makes me happy too.  I'm so proud of each of them and what a year 2016 was.

Highlights:
*Sadie asked Jesus into her heart and was baptized in Sammie's pool at her senior apartments by my dad (Poppy).
*Zachary finished1st grade and learned to read.  This was my biggest fear of homeschooling - teaching my kids to read.  I have never taught anyone to read, so it scared me.  However, he's now reading around a 3rd grade level and he's in 2nd grade. 
*Sadie started kindergarten and is really enjoying school a lot.  She is doing good with learning all her sounds, we teach phonics, not just memorization.
*Caleb was granted by the court to live in Texas with his dad - HUGE accomplishment!!!
*Les and I purchased land in East Texas and hope to build a little cottage/cabin in the future.  Maybe retire out there someday, who knows!  God does ;)
*We camped a lot last year; which was awesome.  Nothing like waking up out in God's creation, our CREATOR of all this beautiful eye candy.  LOL
*God healed my mom from cancer - AMEN!!!!!!!!!
*Zachary had his first grand mal seizure over the summer; which put me into a crying spree, but I really like his neurologist and I trust in the Great Physician.

So much more, but I'll keep those memories for myself and my family.  <3

Make today a great day in the Lord!!  To God be the Glory!
