never too late to make a first...blog!

Hello everyone. We have decided to create a blog for our family. I hope you enjoy the pics and updates. Let me start by giving you an update on our life now, Christmas 2007.

We have had an exciting year. We have completed our first year at Sugarloaf United methodist and love our job there. The ministry is vibrant and growing. Jake is the Student Worship Minister and is loving his position. He is able to serve in such a way that all his gifts are being used and the Lord is blessing his efforts. We can't wait to see what the year holds for him. He is set to produce and record the first Student Life album this January and is excited to partner with the students on this project.
I am serving alongside Jake at the church, volunteering when I can. I am also still a hair sylist in the area. I have recently changed salons and am working at a studio close to our house. It is owned by church members and is a wonderful place to be working.

The most exciting thing that has happened is the birth of our first baby-a little girl names Mavis Amelia! She is perfect in every way and is such a happy little thing! She most definitely has her daddy's smile! She is four months old this Christmas and we are so blessed to have her in our lives this year. I couldn't ask for a more beautiful baby!
This blog is mainly reserved for her!!! As proud parents, she consumes our thoughts and we want to share her with you all! enjoy!
