Wow, we can't believe it has been a year since we saw our precious little girl be born into this world. She has been a constant joy, and we thank God for His grace in giving her to us, and we pray He gives us the strength and patience to train our children for His glory.

On Wednesday, Thursday, and half a day on Friday I was training at SimCom for my job. The rest of the family were able to do a lot of things with and without me. Below are some pics of those days. Downtown Disney had a lot of shops, restuarants, and things for the kids to do. Celebration is a town started by Disney. It is very nice.

Brady had a birthday party with some of his friends at Chuck E Cheese today. He had a great time today. Brady wanted to thank Jordan, Isaiah, Abby, Rachel, and Lydia for coming, and for the presents they gave him.

Brady was also sad that Jeffery, Spencer, Emily, and Anna could not make it, because of sicknesses in their families. He hopes they get better soon.

2007-09-22T18:48:00.000-04:00

Brady recently was selling stuff from a Christmas catalog for his pre-school, and for every 5 items he sold he was able to choose 1 toy. He sold enough items to get two toys from the "Toy Store." This hat was one of the things he came home with that day.

Brady's 1st Day of Pre-School!!!

2007-08-21T10:11:00.000-04:00

Brady started K-3 pre-school today at Union Grove Christian School. He goes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:20am until 11:50am. He was very excited and has been talking about it for days. He will not be 3 until October 1st, but we wanted him to start with everyone else.

Of course this is more for his benefit than our benefit. We wanted him to be around kids more and have that opportunity to learn and have fun.

Mom is handling it ok, but our little boy is growing up. Here are some pictures of his big day.

Brady really enjoyed our vacation.

Brady enjoyed "bouncing" high in the air on this bungy trampoline. It was probably his favorite thing to do while on vacation. When these pictures were taken he got too jump more than 20 minutes. He would jump high, raise one arm, and yell "superman." He had a great time.

Our Quiver is Full

2007-08-13T23:26:00.000-04:00

We welcomed Sydney Lynne Mabe into the world on May 30th, 2007. She was 7 pounds 7 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long. She is now 11 weeks old and doing great. She has grown to almost 12 pounds now.

Brady will be 3 years old on October 1st. He is being a great big brother. He wants to help hold her, burp her, feed her, and he gives her lots of hugs and kisses. He is currently potty training.

As parents we love them very much and are very happy that God has graciously given us a son and a daughter. Life is a little crazy right now, but by the Grace of God we will survive.
