Collin's Birthday



Collin turned six on Saturday. We had a small family party for him. For those of you who knew Harold when he was a kid, he now has a little replica. He never meets a stranger, and he sings all the time. He usually makes up his own songs, which are very interesting to listen to, especially if he is in the bathroom. Collin had a lot of hearing problems the first few years of his life, this greatly affected his speech. We are proud to announce that after three years of therapy he is ready to start school next year. Go Collin!

Harold took the boys swimming on Friday and took some cool pictures. Since I can't figure out how to put them here I will post them at the bottom. Ethan actually asked me if I would please put these pictures on my blog. I hope he doesn't go on an ego trip.

I'm glad that Collin had a nice birthday...and a fun trip with Daddy on Friday. =) I love the CUTE little toofers of your baby. Your kids are cute!

Here's a comment I wrote on my blog to all of you ladies regarding my sewing machine!

Ladies, that sewing machine is amazing...the embroidery that I did on the kids clothes...was just on the machine itself...., a normal stitch like I was zigzagging or something. It was NOT USING THE EMBROIDERY PARTS...which will do WAY more! I can't wait to learn how to do it all. =) I am very THANKFUL for this blessing! GOD IS AWESOME!!

Love, Heather =)

We got to watch PD and Sherri's service last night LIVE here in Colombia...pretty cool! It was neat seeing Harold in the choir ?...or was that not him? And neat seeing him as he announced the new staff too. I just wanted to see his other half...you! =) It was a really nice service!

OK SONYA...don't be rubbing it in, that YOU get GUMBO and WE WHO WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOME...DON'T! =) HA!
Have a great day, Kayla!
Love, Heather =)

Happy Birthday Collin! The pictures of their swimming trip turned out great. We enjoyed having Ethan at our house today. Samuel was so glad to have him come and play. He asked if we could keep him. I think you might miss him, so we decided that he should return home for now.

Collin, Happy Birthday!

Ethan, Collin, and Dillan - you all are so brave to jump in the pool like this. How cool you all are!

Your children are dolls! I love the chubby picture of the baby. It makes me want to squeeze him.

Tell your boys I think they're really brave. I tried and tried to learn to swim while I lived in FL, but was too scared! I couldn't get up the nerve to let go of the side of the pool!

My kids and I just watched Dylan's dedication. What a precious family you have! You looked so pretty. Sometimes when I'm doing the laundry, I turn on the services and let it play and I can pop my head around the corner and see it if anything interesting happens. What a pleasant suprise to see your dedication! I had to take a break from laundry and just sit and enjoy!
