In July 2008 Emma proudly proclaimed “I want to be a firefighter someday” as she raced around in her power wheels. It seems that dream is still present. I Love you my sweet little Emma.

Blessed Family of Flowers
Blessed Family of Flowers
Our Family of Flowers-
Though each of us is individually unique, like the difference between a rose and a daisy, we are characterized as one- A Family of Flowers.
We are an Evangelical, Conservative Christian Homeschool Family of Six.
We love our Lord Jesus very much and believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God and the only Truth.
I am married to a wonderful husband, who is a Chief in the United States Navy and the love of my life. If I had one word to describe him it would be "Strength" as he is my strength as we venture through this life together.
I can be described as a dreamer and a doer. I have my head in the clouds but my feet on the ground. That is, I live my life with passion, but I am balanced and realistic in my approach.
I am a Certified Teacher. I hold a Bachelor of Science (Psychology and Education) degree. In addition, I am studying to be a Counselor and Youth Pastor and currently earning a Master of Arts in Human Services (Counseling with Specialization in Christian Ministries).
We homeschool because I believe children should have a solid foundation to disburse any "myths" that are out in the real world. Once the solid foundation is laid they can truly be the salt and light of the world (Matthew 5:13 NIV). In addition, a Christian Education allows our children to grow into well-rounded individuals who are strong in mind, body, and faith.
Jelly Bean- Full of Joy, Love and Lots of Giggles
Sunshine- Will Brighten a Room with her Warmth and Compassion
Lego Boy- Creative and Loving
Butterfly- Artistic and Caring
