Celebrating 11 years together

Everyone who knows Scott knows how blessed I am to be his wife!

And here are the 3 beautiful children God has given us during these 11 years. We decided to celebrate as a family this year.
Here are the beautiful flowers that my sweet husband arranged in advance to be given me at the restaurant.

To Encourage

This week and month, we have been remembering very difficult days we went through a year ago. This song has been a great encouragement to me. We can pour out our hearts to the Lord and it is worship and the road to deeper intimacy. He meets us there!

Eating Dinner

Why not eat your hot dog in a tree?

Grandparents!!

In October, both sets of grandparents came for a visit. And everyone got to watch Mikey play soccer! He had a lot of fun and did a great job.


We all went to a pumpkin farm and had all kinds of fun.




Papa and Grammy Pittman took the kids to a state park and gave the kid's a lessons on their ancestor William Pittman, who was a long hunter.

Recent Artwork

By Michael: instead of a still life he opted to take his paper outside. He emerged with the above drawing.

Katie did the above still life of a pumpkin and an apple.

Anna drew this still life of a tea pot and cups.

Celebrating 5 years with Katie

5 years ago we were blessed with our "miracle baby" Katie! After a very stressful week in the UAE, a long plane ride home accompanied by a physician, 2 weeks in the hospital, and 9 weeks of bedrest..... we welcomed Katie into the world. Certainly, the Lord answered many prayers in giving us a healthy, full-term baby girl. In the past 5 years, I have had multiple opportunities to reflect on Job's words "The Lord gives and takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord" Katie is an example of the Lord giving to us and I have appreciated that even more as He has "taken away" other unborn babies. Thank you Lord for Katie!



Grammy Pittman helped us make this castle cake!


Celebrating with friends!

A Day at a One Room School House

Last week, Anna & Michael had the opportunity to spend the day with other home schooled kids at a one room school house. It is maintained by the school district to give kids the chance to learn about how school used to be. It was a lot of fun and very interesting! The highlight of the day was writing with feather quills and ink wells. There were about 20 kids there of various ages and they all dressed up and brought lunches in pails and handkerchiefs. As you can see, they would have been very cute pioneer kids!
