Luke is Graduating!

By: Erin

Today, we celebrate Luke's graduation and the wonderful job he has done in completing twelve years of home school (and we can't forget the incredible job Mom has done!)!  Luke has been very faithful in accomplishing these last days of school while working for Swift Otter, a website development company where he now works full time.  Congratulations, Luke!

If you'd like, leave a comment to encourage Luke!  He'd love it!

"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, 

nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.  

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.  

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, 

that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; 

and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."

(Psalm 1 :1-3)

Remembering the Younger Years... Part 1

With many family blogs, the readers get to see the family grow up.  However, since we've only had this blog for two years, I had an idea - to make you feel like you have watched us grow up!  This post will cover the years 1991-2004 of our family.  I've really enjoyed putting this post together as it brings back a lot of fun memories!  Enjoy the pictures!

*Keep a look-out for part two!!

"And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, 

or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, 

we will serve the LORD."  (Joshua 24:15)
