MISS YOU-VERY THANKFUL!

SURPRISE DADDY!!!

Although daddy-The Captain will not be home to celebrate with us until Friday & we miss him like crazy....We are thankful-thankful we have a daddy, a healthy daddy, a daddy who will eventually be home to celebrate with us God willing. A daddy who is not in Iraq, or in a hospital bed or already in heaven. I know women and children in all 3 of these circumstances this Christmas. But.... WE ARE MOST THANKFUL FOR OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. NO matter what happens-HE will always be there for us. Being without our earthly dad this Christmas is no big deal in comparison to being without our Lord and Savior.

"I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty!" 2 Corinthians 6:18


Dear Captain,

You and my 7 kids are the best gifts EVER! I want to thank you for joining me on our lifes journey together. Who would have thought 5 years ago we would have 7 kids? God is so cool-He knew the whole time-He's got a great sense of humor! I really miss you and am anxiously awaiting the feel of your strong arms around me. I just want you and the world to know-you are it, the love of my life, my partner and best friend! We can do anything together with God's help especially after having 4 babies at once, anything else has to be a breeze right? I know you probably really miss the kids-especially when you see other families traveling together on Christmas. Your job has to be hard being away from them and your home every other week. I appreciate you, I appreciate the wonderful provider you are for our family! Your children adore you and so does their mommy! Merry Christmas!

i have had you on my mind today. Though we are only Blog friends (so far:) I know God reminded me of you today. AS i was getting ready for church service and my four doing the same I thought of you and getting your 6 younger ones for church. Now that I see your Captain is gone til Friday i will especially pray for you this week. Enjoy your blessings (all 7 of them) and Have a Merry Christmas!

Jen,

Sorry you are without the Captain for the holiday. Rejoicing that you will get to celebrate together this weekend!

Praying for his safe return!

Love the picture with him and the kids! I hope you used that as your Christmas card!

Not sure how he is holding them up like that and looking so happy!

Love,
