When March was fun...

...because some of March simply doesn't fall under "fun". But the fun times are when I pull out the camera so here goes...

In early February the word no one ever wants to hear from their doctor knocked our family a little side ways as Nate's brother was diagnosed with cancer. The weeks that have followed have left us grateful that his leukemia should be treatable and with a new realization that God is bigger than a medical diagnosis and is carrying Josh and his wife and baby every step of the way! It makes So Cal feel far away when they're there and we're here!
We were able to go for a weekend visit with Nate's parents...

The guys worked in the garden and helped with a few things outside.

I am blessed by friends and family who, while walking tough paths, are putting their hope in the fact that God will one day set all things right and be VICTORIOUS! I have seen them trust in the Lord in such a way that gives Jesus the victory TODAY and His light shines ever so brightly in their lives!

The day he turned 11...

He's 11 and he couldn't be happier about it! He talked about what we'd have to eat on his birthday for weeks before it actually came. He's the kid who asks when he gets up in the morning what we're having for dinner. I keep thinking with all this eating that he's going to shoot up past Andrew. 
We love it that God has blessed us with this guyHe worked hard growing and selling tomatoes last summer and saved what money he didn't give away. A few days before his birthday, he and Nate visited the bike shop and picked out his new bike. We've been having gorgeous spring weather so he's been enjoying riding often.
