Seven kids, ages ranging from 5 months to 14 years. Different personalities. Different virtues. Different vices. All one family. We’re so thankful for our seven children and the ways we’re learning about the love of Jesus through parenting them. It’s fun and full of laughter. It’s exhausting and full of frustrations. It’s the work of planting and reaping. Thanks be to God. (Don’t let the picture deceive you – Micah is smaller than Ezra…it’s just the camera angle that makes him look bigger.)

Every morning at breakfast (oatmeal and eggs) I read one chapter of the Bible with the kids. We’re working through the Bible chronologically – today we read Jeremiah 46. This is our second time through the Bible…it takes a few years. I love learning as I’m reading and explaining.
