Since I will probably mention them
from time to time as I write on this blog, I thought I would take a
few moments to introduce the members of my family.
This is my wonderful husband, Dan. He
is truly one of the most precious gifts God has given me. Dan loves
God even more than he loves me, and that is what makes him such a
blessing to me. He is presently a math and Bible teacher at a small
Christian school, but for the first few years of our marriage he was
a music teacher. He loves to sing and play french horn most of all,
but does quite well on many different instruments, including piano,
guitar, and bass. For over a year now, Dan has been speaking at a
small Native American church, that does not have a full time pastor
at the moment.
In the summer, Dan loves gardening,
and spends just as much time as I do (if not more!) planting,
watering, weeding, and picking. He also enjoys riding his bike –
even on the bumpy dirt roads we live on! Lately, he has started
doing some carpentry work, and has been enjoying learning that new
skill. He is a wonderful father to our children and is careful to set
aside time for them in the midst of his busy schedule.
Our oldest daughter Hannah is five
years old. She is very conscientious and likes things to be neat and
in order. She loves being a big sister and is especially enjoying
having a baby in the house to hold. She is our little snuggler, and
is always glad to cuddle up on the sofa for a few minutes. Hannah is
having fun learning how to cook and also how to play the piano.
Sarah is our energetic four year old,
with sparkly eyes and boundless energy! She is always on the go, but
really, really enjoys doing puzzles and coloring, which surprises me,
since those activities involve sitting still! She loves to be
outside, but also enjoys helping in the kitchen, reading books, and
helping with whatever I might be doing.
Daniel is 2 years old. After having
two girls, it didn't take us long to figure out that boys were very
different. As soon as he began to take notice of things around him,
Daniel loved anything that had wheels – trucks, tractors, wagons,
and especially the big combines we often see in the field. He
already loves to be Daddy's little helper and will go outside with
Dan anytime he can.
And this is Joshua, our very, very
sweet little four month old. He's been a very calm and pleasant baby
from the start, and you'll almost never hear him crying unless he's
scared of something! He fits right into our busy little home, and
loves watching everything that's going on around him.
