Now that life has settled back down after the holidays and other things going on. Life is back at full speed and it seems the next few weeks will fly away quickly. My precious children are growing up so fast, I don't know how I feel about that. I find myself going in their rooms through out the night just looking at them. It's not that I am actually checking on them, I just want to see them, be around them, touch their little hands and cheeks, I miss them at night. I can't help but think how wonderful it is to see them grow and discover new things. At the same time my heart already aches because I know before long they will be off to college or starting a family of their own (Bonnie when she is 40 and Brennen whenever he is ready!). I notice Bonnie becoming a beautiful young lady and Brennen a strong young man. I wonder how their lives will change over the next 20 or 30 years. Truth be told I wonder how their lives will change over the next 2 or 3 days. So many things go through my mind at night when I look at them. I am so humbled that I get the honor of being called their daddy! No big thought here but I just wonder what God says when He looks in on us at night? I just wonder...

Shannon, God doesn't have to look down on you, He can hear you just fine! Just teasing!! I love watching my children sleep. It's a great time for prayer over my children. Glad you updated! Thanks for the phone call yesterday. I really needed to hear from you guys! Miss you so much.

Shannon, I love you! I love how much you love our children. You are a GREAT daddy. I know that God looks down on you, he giggles and remembers who you were and now who you are and is very proud. I love you and your children love you!!
