Church picnic










We had a wonderful time at the church outreach picnic. Everyone in attendance had a great time. We played corn hole and basketball. There were games for the kids and lots of food.Even the puppets came to tell us all about having a clean heart. We want to thank God for His wonderful blessings on that day. Bro. Constable was able to witness to the man in the pic with him and then he and I went into the church and prayed with the man. Praise God.

Moonwalk


We had a great turnout for our church community picnic. There were over 40 people in attendance that had never been to the church before. Josiah loved the inflatable moonwalk. I'll post more about the day later.

Say Cheese!





Usually when we try and take Josiah's picture he turns away or smiles after we have taken the picture. Today however mommy was able to take some great pics. He suddenly started being the biggest ham.

Josiah and Pudding




Josiah is just like his mother. He loves anything chocolate. Tabby decided to see what he would do with the spoon. Well, here are the results.

Invitation

I am going to be very busy this week with things involving the church so the blogging may be sporadic. However, I would like to invite everyone (all three of you who read this) to our church this Thursday evening 7/17 to hear the women's ensemble from Hobe Sound Bible College. Also this Saturday we are having a church community picnic. Lots of games for the kids and adults and food!! Everyone is invited. The event is going to be held at the church. We would be honored if you would join us!!

Gatlinburg










In March we went down to Gatlinburg with our family. We all has a wonderful time. We love taking in God's creation. The beauty and majesty of it just makes you want to praise God. It was Josiah's first vacation. But it won't be the last.

Piano Player

Josiah is the biggest ham. Watch as he performs for everyone and then looks to make sure they appreciate it.

Camping and Family Reunion






We recently have been very busy with family reunions, church camp, and camping. Josiah has been a pretty good sport about it. He really doesn't like sleeping somewhere other then home but other then that he loves being outdoors. I don't think we'll have to worry about him being a couch potato. He is also possessive of his daddy as you can see from the reunion pic.

Our Church


God has really been blessing our church. Many of our youth have recently been saved. We are seeing our numbers increase. The Holy Spirit has really been helping in our services. We have a lot going on. Next Thursday 7/17 we will be having a singing group from Hobe Sound Bible College. We have a community invite picnic coming up the 19th. Tabby and Miranda have been working really hard with the Children's church. We are hoping to start a puppet ministry on a regular basis. I can't wait to see all that God has in store for our church. Please keep us in your prayers.

Pictures




New pics






We are trying to put as much as we can on here as quickly as we can. But for those of you who were wanting to see more recent pics of Josiah here they are.

First Christmas




It's exciting to share first holidays with a new baby. Of course at just one month Josiah wasn't excited as mom and dad. But we had a great time and of course all the grandparents aunts and uncles had to spoil him rotten. It's amazing how such a little bundle can bring so much joy into your life. It refreshes the true meaning behind Christmas. To think that a little child born so many years ago could impact an entire world. Now our child has the chance to make an impact of his own.

Josiah's Dedication



My parents wanted to make sure that from an early age I would learn to trust God. They thought that I needed to learn this lesson so much they had me dedicated 2 times. Once at Batavia and once at Haverhill. Revs. Hart and Mayle did a wonderful job instructing my parents on how to raise me to serve God. Here are a few pics to show you how things went.

Everybody loves me.






As you can tell from these pics everyone has grown to love me very quickly. I know they just can't help it because I'm soooo cute.

Growing fast



Josiah is growing fast. By the time he was 2 months old he was already sleeping through the night. What a relief. He seems to be hitting every mile stone early. Of course he is our child!! :) It's an amazing thing to think that we are parents. Some times that reality doesn't truly sink in until you see him do something spectacular. What an amazing God we have. He gave us this wonderful child. Now we need all the prayers to help us raise him.

My pictures





When I was only 10 days old mommy and daddy took me to Sears to have my pictures taken. I tried to be really good. I kept trying to lift my head up which I shouldn't be able to do yet, but that's not going to stop me. Here are the results. Do you think I have a career in modeling?
