The Year of the Phone

We had a fun day on Friday celebrating B's 14th birthday.  Can't believe she is 14!  How did that happen?The morning started off with breakfast from Dunkin Donuts and then Brooke opened gifts from her sisters.  

We had lunch with Uncle C & Aunt R and then it was back to the house to open the rest of her gifts.  We had decided to get her a phone and I thought she had figured it out, but when you watch the video you'll see it was a total surprise!

She had 3 friends over that night for a sleepover and we went to Uncle C & Aunt R's house to make pillows. The girls had a ton of fun and I think everyone (especially Winston) was glad when it was time for us to head home.  

Brooke had asked for a rainbow cake that we had seen on a blog and so I surprised her and made it.  It turned out really cute!

Now I'm just hoping that these next 14 years don't go by as quickly as the last 14 did!!!!

It's Now or Never!

Here it is - my first post!  I hope that this blog is a place where I can record what is going on in our family life, ministry life, and in my life personally.  A record to help me keep track of all those seemingly small moments that make up our life.  I figure even if this turns out to be completely boring, the only people who have to read it are my family and I bore entertain them with my stories all the time!  So here goes nothing....
