“The more I count these blessings, the more I realize that they really are not the product of my own efforts. They are truly gifts of grace from God above. It’s incredible to open my eyes to them week after week. And humbling. That I should be graced with such wonders? Me… whose heart is weak and black, yet covered with much mercy. How great is Your unfailing love, Lord God of all!” ~Sharaya Crossan

Hehe...I'm a big fan of that last photo! Also love Kiera's new sundress!! And hurray for answered prayers...how's Blake today?
Do you think Blake's fever was teething related? I really like Kiera's dress. Enjoyed your thankful blog and pictures once again. Love, Mom
Oh, they're both getting so big!! Thank you for all the new pictures. Maybe I should do the same!
Wow, those are nice pictures. Good looking family I think. ;)
