Today we celebrated the last of our summer birthdays. Our kid's b-days happen to fall consecutively five months in a row. In April we celebrated our oldest, Eli. He turned 8 this year and he definitely plays the role of the oldest child. He follows the rules and makes sure everyone around him does to! He is our sports fanatic and he appears to have a true gifting in each sport that he plays. In May we celebrated the actual birth of Ciera. What a true joy she is and we are all loving her to pieces! In June we celebrated Carmen's 5th birthday. She is so happy about being a big kindergartener. She is quite the Miss Priss, however, she can hold her own with all her brothers! Jesse turned 3 in July. He is...well....still a mess! It's a good thing that he is as cute as he is! He gets into everything and makes the biggest messes, but we love him with all our hearts! August is Isaiah's month. We had a great time celebrating him today with our friends from Stuart. He loves animals, swimming and is wanting to take taekwondo. He also wants to be a comedian. He definitely keeps us laughing and lights up our every day!
These five, amazing blessings are true gifts from God and a true picture of how God hears and answers prayers! Not only does He answer, His answers are more wonderful than I could have ever imagined! Eli's name means, "God is Great, God is Good." He truly is and I pray his greatness pours out on you today! :)
