I could ALMOST be jealous if I didn't have such a pure heart and am grateful for ALL of my Stinky sons (literally on any given day). You are living a relationship that I sure wish I had, too.
Do you tell your children about the day they were born? I always try to tell my boys in an hour-by-hour playback,but they just run screaming from the room!
Oh my... your kids are SO beautiful! I love all of the expressions, too. You need to put each child's pics into a big collage poster...that would be so cool!
Oh my goodness---she is JUST as beautiful as her mommy :)
Yes, my friend, you can still send me something for the auction. We are going to be working on it tomorrow night. So, would you by chance have a picture of whatever it is? That way I could at least get it listed. E-mail me at thesalemfamily@msn.com
You are sooooooo wonderful :) Thank you for caring.
She is very beautiful. I love the fact that we can put things on these blogs and someday your children can always go back and see themselves way back when.
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!"

What a day of celebration!
What a beautiful girl Ms. Rachel is. Love that million dollar smile!! :) (it cost almost that much, too, huh?)
It's so amazing how different a person can look...with makeup, without makeup, with a santa hat, smiling, frowning, hair styles.
Rachel is so blessed to be gorgeous no matter what!
Christy,
She is so beautiful and you can see in each picture the very reasons she brings you so much joy and love.
