Thought I’d share a few pics today. Most everyone else is bringing out the long sleeves and sweaters or even getting ready for snow (Hey, Janet!)…we’re enjoying the last few days of pool weather :)
Say cheese, guys!
The girls are always ready to pose!
Weeping willow branches become swords in the hands of my boys!
I was looking through old pictures today and thought I’d post one of the kids when they were little. This was November, 2003, so Abbey (last on the right) would have been 7 and Payton, Marley, and Ethan would have been 5. They look so young! I can’t wait to go through the “little years†with Lainey!
Every year, Randy’s dad and step mom put on “Cousin’s Day†at their home. They welcome all 16 grandchildren to their home for devotions, games, crafts, and unlimited kid-food! My kids love it and look so forward to seeing their cousins each year. They range in age from 16 years down to 1 year old! Lainey has no idea what’s coming her way!!
At the end of August, myself and my 3 youngest children did something really cool….we were baptized at the beach! Our church holds a beach baptism once a year and it is the coolest thing. The kids asked Jesus into their hearts when they were 4 1/2 (Marley) and 6 1/2 (Payton and Ethan). I was baptized as a preteen, but it didn’t mean what it should have back then. I was so excited to be able to experience baptism as a true believer. Aren’t these pictures great? (By the way, the guy with the hat is my husband/their daddy!)
Thought I’d post a picture of the newest family member! We have a hawk that has decided he likes our backyard. About everyday, we look out back and find him perched on top of the kid’s swing set. The kids named him…what else…Swing Set. Very creative of them! He’s beautiful and we enjoy watching him when he visits. I’m glad I’m not listed as a hawk’s prey, because those talons look fierce!
I just had to post a picture of this. This summer, our kids have learned how to knee-board and they’re having a blast! Randy bought the knee-board for Marley, Payton, and Ethan’s 8th birthday on 7/7 and it’s gotten lots of use since then. The last time we went, I thought of Lainey. Randy was driving the boat, and we were headed to our favorite cove of the river. It was a beautiful day, sunny and warm. I tried to picture our little girl, riding in the boat with us and it made me smile. One day, little one, you’ll be cruising along the St. Johns river in our ski boat. I can’t wait to see her on the knee-board!!
This is Abbey!
Welcome! We are the Clark family. At the moment, a family of 6. However, we’re in the process of adopting a baby girl from China. We’ve never met her; in fact, she’s not even born yet. But, we know we’re meant to bring her into our family and can’t wait for that day to come.
