Happy Veterans Day!

Thank you to those serving our country past and present...We owe a great debt to you for the freedoms we enjoy...May we continue to pray for the United States Armed Forces as they serve faithfully at home and abroad! May we teach our children to love, respect, and honor those who give and have given their lives for ours. May it also remind us of the greatest sacrifice ever made as God sent his only Son, Christ Jesus, to die for your sins and mine..We have a wonderful Savior and we live in the greatest Nation in the world!....Lord, help us to pray for our country as we should!

We had a great time celebrating Chloe's 2nd birthday on Saturday...Many friends and family members were able to come and make her party a very special time...I write this post with tears of joy in my eyes as I look back on the past 2 years of our lives..A baby brings so many changes to the home, but we have enjoyed every stage of Chloe's life..The Lord has taught us so many things through her and we are excited to see what the Lord has for her in the coming years...She is starting to talk so much and singing songs about Jesus that she has learned...She loves music and loves her babies..She is very girley and that makes Mommy very happy (and Daddy too!)..She rarely is caught without a baby, a purse, and her sunglasses....Recently we have been praying ALOT about her very strong will..She can be very hard hearted and it grieves our hearts...I'm sure much like it grieves our Savior's heart when we are disobedient...Our prayer is that she will be saved at a young age and that she will see the great joy in serving the Lord all the days of her life...We pray that she will see John and I serve the Lord with that same gladness....Enjoy the pics!
My Dad sent me some party videos..So I thought I would add them!
Also added some other cute videos that he took!
