Amazing Grace


Last night was the annual Christmas singing celebration (does it have a name?) at church. We sang a few Christmas hymns and enjoyed the talents of many of the younger generation of Rockport.
Liam and Kai love the song “Amazing Grace” and sing it multiple times a day. Don and Liam have even been recording that song in the studio. So they got the chance to sing it on stage. Kai tried backing out earlier in the day. But in the end, he got on stage and sang because I bribed him with a sucker. 
They did a great job! I felt so proud of my boys. I look forward to many years of them learning and enjoying music with their dad. So for anyone who missed it (or want to see it again)–here it is. 

(Recorded with an iPhone. So again, not top notch quality.)

A Christmas Celebration


Yesterday we had a Christmas brunch at my mom’s house. Dan, Jessie, and Gracie were in town. They haven’t been here for a year and a half so this was the first time Evangeline and Madolyn got to meet their cousin, Gracie. The boys were excited to spend some time with her as well.

I love this baby girl and the fact that she loves to have her picture taken.

Kingston loved sitting on Uncle Dan’s lap and rubbing icing on him.

Jessie made dino tails for all the boys. They absolutely love them.

Right after we were done with my mom’s, we headed to Dough Depot to celebrate Merri’s sweet sixteenth birthday. The food is delicious and the company is even better. 


Merri is beautiful, inside and out 🙂

The nutella chunk ice cream cake was amazing! Kingston agrees.

I still remember when Merri was born 16 years ago (on Christmas Eve) and I have loved watching her grow into a beautiful, ravishing red-headed young woman who loves the Lord. Happy Birthday Merri! I’m very happy to call you my friend 🙂
