It's hard to believe that my first babies (4 lbs. 11 oz. and 4 lbs. 3oz.) are now my seventeen year old babies, Erin and Elisabeth! Where has the time gone? You are both such blessings to our family and you bring much joy to our lives. The Lord knew we needed a 'pair' on the first go-round, and you are both worth more than your weight in gold! You have sweet spirits, willing hands, special talents, and loving hearts, and two more wonderful and special daughters cannot be found! Thank you for all you do and all you are!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ERIN AND ELISABETH! WE LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW!
Love: Mama, Daddy, Wesley, Ellie, John and Alexander
Newborns in 1991...both fit into the same baby carrier with room to spare!
Today...my beautiful 17 year old 'birthday girls'!
With all the brothers and sister back in October
If you are interested, you can read more about the day Erin and Elisabeth were born and see lots more photos in two 'Sweet 16' posts from last year here and here.
Erin also did a post on her blog, and she has even more photos...definitely some of my favorite ones through the years!
Just a neat little side note. My cousin had twins last Saturday...a little boy and little girl...six weeks early, but doing well. They are precious, and both weigh more than our girls did at birth, even though they were born two weeks earlier than Erin and Elisabeth were. But if you have a mind to, please keep these little ones and their mama in your prayers. They'll probably still be in the hospital for a few more days, and I know they're all ready to get home and back to normal! My cousin had to have a very early C-section due to preeclampsia and a breech baby boy, so she's had a time! But you know, those sweet little babies were worth it all. Thank you, Lord for your mercies and your blessings!
I'm a very happily married pastor's wife, former schoolteacher-turned-homeschool mom of six wonderful blessings, and freelance writer--and we live in the great state of Georgia! I'm a southern girl through and through...but most importantly, I'm a child of the King! We have just finished up our twelfth year of homeschooling, and our two oldest have now graduated! This is my place to record thoughts about homemaking, Classical-Charlotte Mason based homeschooling, writing around the fringes of family life, and more...so welcome to my little corner of the world!
