Family Day

Embassy Day!!! March 21, 2006-Brielle's 7 month birthday

Swimming at the Marriott in Guatemala City...

One of the happiest moments of my life...Brielle was in my arms FOREVER. The warm sun was shining down on us, I was drinking a papaya smoothy and MY DAUGHTER was drinking her bottle and peacefully falling to sleep in my arms after lots of fun and laughter in the pool....a magical moment. Brielle was an angel on the long flight home. I was bursting with excitement to share her with everyone at home.

All smiles at the airport!!

Our princess is home...March 22, 2006~Brielle's Family Day

We are so thankful and honored to be Brielle's parents. She brings us so much joy and laughter..

Brielle Worshiping God

The sweetest thing happened yesterday while I was driving, but here is a little background first:

During a recent worship service at our church, Brielle noticed people raising their hands in worship to God. She asked me many questions about what they were doing and what does it mean. Then she too raised her hands. Our Jr/Sr. High Youth pastor was behind us and she copied EVERYTHING he did....if he raised one hand she would too. If he raised two hands, closed his eyes, nodded his head etc., she would as well. What a great role model. It was very sweet.

So yesterday in the car a song came on the radio that we had sung during the worship service. She immediately raised her hand in worship. She kept her little hand up as long as the song was on and sang along as much as she knew the words. I had tears in my eyes and told her when the song was over that God was smiling down on her.

Drive In Movie Night!

Brielle had a Drive In Movie night at her preschool with her Daddy and LOVED it! They made and decorated their own cars, then watched a 'movie' and ate snacks in their car. I'm not sure who loved it more, Brielle or Daddy making such a fancy car!!

She is also Star of the week and got to share in front of the class today. It was an exciting week for her!

BRACES!!!

Daniel got Braces this week! He has been hurting and not eating too much. Hopefully he will start to feel better soon so he can eat! He should have them for 1- 1/2 years...seems like a long time, but I bet it will go by quickly!

Another thing Daniel has been up to is trying out for the High School Soccer team. He made the Freshman/Sophmore team and is excited for the season! We are so proud of you Daniel. :)
