Usually my blog is the place where I like to share pictures of my family with...my family. All of you stretched across a few countries. But today, I'm asking a question...what do you think about divorce? I mean other than the fact that everyone knows it's not a good thing. Please give me personal thoughts, bible verses, or anything else that you think about when it comes to what makes up your mind about the subject.
I am noticing more and more of my friends have been divorced and quite frankly, I'm shocked!!! I know that marriage is hard, but my goodness, I'm really shocked when I find out that, in talking to a friend, that they are married to a divorsee or that they were married for a few years when they were younger. I don't know whether to ask them about it or leave it. Am I making a big deal out of nothing or what?
On Saturday, May 17th was Samantha's first ballet/tap recital. This is her ballet outfit for the performance. Sammie LOVES ballet and takes it really seriously.
This picture was taken by my sister, Heather. She came to support Sammie along with her daughter, Sydney, my Aunt Grace with her new baby, Michael and of course Daddy, Mommy and Eliana.
Heather could be a professional photographer even though she doesn't really like taking these posed shots. The background of the picture was a set of ugly, brown bleachers so Heather used Photoshop to make the photo more appealing. During the performance, Sammie did wonderfully. I asked her if she was nervous and she said she wasn't, even though the audience had probably 300 people.
Since the Zoo is such a big event with lots of walking, Ama, the girls, and I decided to go. These are a few pictures from our trip. My little princess It was almost as much fun to get on the play animals as to see the real ones.My little chicks!
I have this blog mostly because of my sister-in-law, Yvonne. She has had her blog forever...well, in blog history. This blog's purpose, I would say is to keep my family and friends up-to-date on the latest pictures and experiences of our lives. With this digital age, there are so many pictures, that sometimes they get lost on disks and the computer. This helps to keep them where they belong, in the memories of those we love.
I am passionate about God, my husband Paul, my daughters Sammie and Eliana and worship music; especially vineyard, passion and other comparable music. I love singing and playing the piano which I basically taught myself with the help of my immensely talented husband, my sister-in-law, Yvonne (who is also extremely talented) and the Lord. I like listening to Joyce Meyer and watching sappy movies that make me cry.
If you were to hang around me long enough, you would find that I am not picky, I am very easy going and I pretty much go with the flow. I require just a few things to make my life enjoyable: an occasional trip to the salon, time with my girlfriends and snuggles by my husband.
My husband is Amazing! I had to find him in another country because there were no good ones here for me. I also am completely convinced that God picked out one specific man for me and he was in Canada. Paul is romantic, always thinking of how he can please me and very passionate about God. He is a true family man, wanting rather to spend time at home with us than go out with his friends. My husband does not compromise with his faith. He lives his life by the bible and the leading of the Holy Spirit. I am thankful for Paul and I hope I say it enough to him. We have been married since Jan. 1993
My First Daughter
Samantha was born August 17, 2001. She is very energetic, imaginative, intelligent and social. Sammie is homeschooled and doing extremely well, reading about a book each day. Sammie plays very well by herself because she was an only child for almost 5 years. She loves to sing and is practicing harmonizing with Paul and myself. When Sammie grows up, she wants to be an animal groomer. I hope that whatever she does, Sammie will seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
My Second Daughter
Eliana was born June 4, 2006. She is definitely her own person! She is very determined and loves to make us laugh. She is strong willed and very inquisitive. From the time Eliana was very young, she has been the comedian in the family (just like her Daddy). I enjoy tremendously having Eliana.
My First Son
Nicolas was born February 13, 2009. He is laid back, a true 3rd born child. Nico smiles easily, even strangers can get him to smile, which always makes the elder ladies in the store very happy.
