Tenth Anniversary Trip

We just celebrated our tenth anniversary. We took a trip to Cancun, Mexico. It was one of the best vacations ever. It was SO relaxing! We almost got to experience our first hurricane. Thankfully, it ended up just a tropical storm by the time it hit our resort! Praise the Lord! I'm so thankful for my husband and for the ten wonderful years we have spent together. He is my best friend and love of my life! God has truly blessed us!

Here is a link to pictures of our trip!

Some recent videos of Malachi

Malachi is finally crawling at 1 year old!

We went to the Hard Luck Diner in Branson, MO., and one of the waiters sang to Malachi. All of the waiters take turns singing while you eat.

A Goodly Heritage

I take for granted so many blessings in my life. One of these I realized a few weeks ago at our family reunion. We had our reunion in the Black Hills of South Dakota with my dad's side of the family. It was a great time. We were there over a Wednesday evening. We usually attend church on Wednesdays for our church's Bible Study and Prayer meeting. Since all of our family is Baptist and we have 4 pastors in our family we decided to hold our own Bible Study right there at our cabin. We sang songs and had special music from the 4 girl cousins and also from my dad and uncle. And then my cousin Phil preached to us. He said he was only going to give a devotion.....no....he preached!! It was a great message on God's goodness. But as we were having our little church service, I started thinking of how blessed our family is. Not very many families can have a church service or Bible study during their family reunions. There are so many families who believe SO differently when it comes to spiritual matters. But all of my extended family on my dad's side believes the same. And that is such a blessing! I know Grandpa and Grandma Lydick were watching from heaven and saying "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." 3 John 1:4

"Yea, I have a goodly heritage." Psalm 16:6

A Day at the Beach
I enjoyed watching Jason and Isaac playing in the sand. This was one of my favorite pictures of them on our Virginia Vacation. My two favorite men in my life!!!
