They do grow fast. My daughter will be 28 this year and my grandbaby will be 4. How time flies! Cain will be 9, He was 3 when Jan and Clint married. The best part of their marriage I was an instant Grandma! I love it!
They are both quite handsome. Where does the time go? It seems like yesterday my boys were babies and now they are all grown up. Hugs and prayers, andrea
Maybe I have just forgotten but I didn't realize Jacob was that close in age to Andrew. Before we know it, Andrew and Jacob will be Josiah's age *sniff*
What a beautiful family and thank you for stopping by my blog for a quick visit. Please come back anytime. I also enjoy reading about the lives of other moms. I would love to stop by again. Thanks, Susan ():o)
THat is so cute! I was even surprised when I moved to the second picture! What fun to have abig brther like that! I bet they are good buddies :) They sure are cute & made me smile today!
Thanks for visiting my blog and your words left there. I'm so glad to hear that you learned early on that your husband couldn't give you what you needed. I wish I had... it would have saved my marriage tons of grief on my end of things...
Hope you have a blessed weekend! I'm always grateful for your visits and words!
I stumbled on your blog from a link from Shanda B's blog- A Teachable Heart. I was just quickly glancing at your page and saw this post. So simple- just pics, but it's brought tears to my eyes. I have 2 boys- 6 ad 4 and they are best friends. I've been wanting more pretty much since the youngest was born, but God's timing isn't ours. I've wanted them close so they could all be best friends. These pics show me how even a 14 year difference can't break the bond of family and encourages me to stop letting the enemy discourage me by thinking any amount of time is "too long" to wait. Thank you.
just some insights into my thoughts and feelings about my life and what God is revealing to me and how i am experiencing His grace and mercy in so many ways. please feel free to comment and share your heart here too. i'd love to hear from you. you never know whose life you just might touch with your insights as well.
My First Blog Entry March 27, 2009
laying my heart at the feet of Jesus well, here goes. not really sure how this is going to go but i do believe it is in my heart to begin to share some of the things that God is doing in my life and secrets that live in my heart. i've really been inspired by a blog that i have just begun to read by a young, sweet mommy (what she calls herself). happening upon her blog was not an accident but, i believe, a direction from the Lord. as i have read much of what she has written from her heart, i've been moved to tears and smiled a lot, enjoying partaking of what she has shared. wondering if anything that i have to share might move anyone as her writings have moved me, i thought that i just might let some of my heart be opened to those interested in hearing the secrets in the heart of a wife and mom who sometimes feels as if she might drown in the difficulties of raising five children if it weren't for my God who is ever so merciful and His Grace who is ever so powerful. as i write this, tears stream down my own face, thinking of some of the situations that i am laying at the feet of Jesus at this very moment in my life. this seems to make it plain to me that going forward with this new adventure of blogging may just be a way for God to continue to remind me of His love and His goodness toward me. open heart surgery, with God's love as the knife, that's kind of what it feels like. cutting away the dead, useless pieces and repairing it with His intense, unconditional love. i hope that a few people are touched and moved to sharing their lives as well by reading some of what i may reveal of myself as i continue to lay my heart at his feet and trust Him to keep it and make it whole.
i am a wife of 19 years to my wonderful husband, aaron. a mom of 6 precious children (josiah 17, rachel 16, olivia 14, amanda 12, jacob 3, & our newest addition, baby jonah, born may 18, 2011. my life is full and exciting as i depend upon God to empower me to take on the everyday tasks that are set before me. i love God with all my heart as He has revealed His amazing love for me. i love sharing many of the things He has shown me in a Bible study at my church. allowing Him to use me to unveil Truth is a very big part of my life. it is just all so "GOOD!"

Really cute pictures. They grow up too quickly.

I just want to say something different than the other commenters about them being handsome and those beautiful eyes! :)
May the Lord bless your children and may He give them discernment as they walk in their life's journey! God bless you sister.
They are both quite handsome. Where does the time go? It seems like yesterday my boys were babies and now they are all grown up.

Those two are going to be the best of friends for a lifetime! I LOVE these pictures...adore these pictures! You have two very cute boys Christy!
Love the pictures!

You sure have a couple of handsome dudes there!
Lovely boys... they'll always be good friends. My older boys are great friends with my younger kids.
Although, older brothers don't always make the best babysitters.

I am 18 years older than my little brother Christy - a sweet surprise to my parents in their later years. I had such fun with him.
So cute!
The pictures are lovely. I'm sure josiah is so glad he has a little brother. Both of them are so good looking!
Love the blond curls of Jacob.
Love
