"Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate."
Psalm 127:3-5

A Manhood charge and recent happenings

 

Earlier this month, we hosted an entrance into manhood celebration for Kyle.  He had a wonderful time with the men in our church skeet shooting, fellowshipping, and being charged as he enters this new stage in life.

While our other Grandparents were here, they graciously took us out to dinner at a local plantation.  We enjoyed a walk before our meal.

 

A few more Hope highlights…

For quite a while, it was very traumatic for Hope to open her mouth when told to do so in order to make sure her food was properly disposed of.  After much work, we are now blessed with this happy response!
