Recording

Guess what we've been working on!?!

Right after we arrived home there has been some free time since work hasn't picked up yet, so we jumped right into recording a new CD!! When they built the shop for the business they made it so that we could also have a recording studio in the office area. And it has worked out so well!! Matthias does all of the recording, mixing and mastering and it is right by home which makes it an easy process.

We are really excited to finish it up and make it available to y'all soon!!

"I will sing to the Lord,

Because He has dealt bountifully with me."

Psalms 13:6

Family Photos

I have one more post with pictures from our family trip before I go back to what we've been up to the last 2 weeks.

We were able to have a (not so) quick photo shoot with everyone since we didn't get a big family picture at Christmas.

Trying to get all the grandkids looking in the same general direction was no easy feat!!

We are so grateful for each of these littles!!!

The original sisters...

And all 11 of us sisters!

The thirteen siblings in age order.

We are beyond grateful for each other! We've always told Dad and Mom that one of the greatest gifts they ever gave us was our siblings!

The home crew!

The 37 of us...

And the guys!!

And what are family photos without a little fun?!

You set a crown of pure gold upon his head."

Psalms 21:3

Susanna

I know Susanna's birthday was at the beginning of March, but I didn't get a post up with pictures from her last year. So this is a belated birthday post for her!

Happy 23rd Birthday Susanna!

"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

Family Trip - Random Smiles

Every day in this world there are people that I meet

I walk up shake their hand and they see

The kind of person that I am by the smile that I wear

I am blessed by the smile Jesus gives me

A smile, a smile, to make this life worthwhile

a smile, precious smile Jesus gives me

And some day I'll know, to heaven I will go

Where I'll thank Jesus for the smile He gives me

After dying on the tree out of love for you and me

He rose up from the grave as He promised

Now He lives in heaven above and because of His great love

We are blessed by the smile Jesus gives us.

A smile, a smile to make this life worthwhile

A smile, precious smile Jesus gives me

And someday I know to heaven I will go

where I'll thank Jesus for the smile He gives me!

Jesus Christ died for you and He really loves you too

There's a way you can smile and be happy

Won't you trust in Him today He'll come in come in to stay

You'll be blessed by the smile Jesus gives you.

A smile, A smile to make this life worthwhile

A smile, precious smile Jesus gives me

And some day I know, to heaven I will go

Where I'll thank Jesus for the smile He gives me.

"Be glad in the Lord and REJOICE, you righteous;

And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!"

Psalms 32:11
