Christ The Lord Is Risen Today!

I am so very, very thankful Jesus is not dead. I always get accused of being blunt, and I guess that is blunt. But I need the power of the resurrection in my life and the Bible promises us that power.

I am a horrible sinner, and that because Jesus is alive, I am forgiven of my sin, (if I have repented) and I will live forever in heaven with my Savior.

I want so much for my children to know and experience God, not just in their heads, but also in their hearts, there is such a difference. God's love in so amazing and fresh, new and great every morning.

On a lighter note, This is Caeleigh's second Easter with us. Coming this week, Our one year "Gotcha Party". Look for pictures.

Happy Easter,
The Whitt's

My Big Boy

Twenty years ago today, was one of the best days of my life. I gave birth to my firstborn, Ryan. I love him so much!!!
He is handsome and my only blue eyed baby. He is smart and smart mouthed (at times).He is a talker and a thinker. He is generous with his money and with his love, (especially to Caeleigh.)He is a great kid, but now I should say adult.

Happy Birthday Ryan!!
Mom

Just Had to Laugh

Caeleigh came to me singing ,"Jesus Loves Me" notice her home-made guitar. She sees guitars at church, who would have thought she would notice. I thought it was so funny and cute!! That's my girl!!

Just Life

Taylor finished his wrestling season 28-8. We were certainly proud of him. He worked very hard.
He is now going to the gym every morning at 5;30 to lift weights.He is trying to get ready for football in the fall.
I am trying to get him to start thinking about college and career choices.It is hard to believe he will be a senior in the fall. It seemed like yesterday he was a tiny baby lying beside me in bed.

Ryan calls me frequently. Yesterday he was baking cookies and need some help. Caeleigh answers the phone and she always knows Ryans voice.

Caeleigh is delightful. She tells me everyday. I wuve Mommy,Daddy,Alec, Taywer and RyRy, then she kisses me. She is a wonderful addition to our family. We are so thankful we obeyed the Lord and the call He gave us to adopt an orphan. It is one of the best decisions we have ever made.

God instructs Christians to care for the widows and orphans, the Christians just need to step up to the plate, either to adopt or support someone financially who is adopting. The number of orphans in the world now equals one half of the United States population.If that does not move you,I am not sure what will!!

A Crying Girl

My crying girl. Her beloved Daddy left to return a book to the library and his little girl is crying" Daddy, Daddy" The girl who wanted nothing to do with men just adores her Daddy and for that matter, all the boys.

Ryan was home this weekend and he took Caeleigh and Alec out to eat. Then he took Caeleigh to Walmart for a new doll. This girl has it made!!

Taylor To Districts

Taylor finished second yesterday, so he moves on to districts next Saturday. He will face a kid 5th in the state. Yesterday he lost by points to the kid rated first. Josh Innen, the kid that beat Taylor, is a nice kid and we know his parents. I think he may help Taylor this week get ready for next Saturday.
I was proud of Taylor, his goal was to make it into the second period and he did. That last time they wrestled, Josh pinned Taylor in 40 seconds.
Ryan is doing well at ISU. He needs to find some good friends. Ones that will encourage his faith.
Alec and Caeleigh are doing fine. Caeleigh is really picking up knowledge. We are working on the ABC's and counting. Next month will be 12 months with our precious girl. We will have a big celebration on her Gotcha Day.

See Taylor and Caeleigh wrestling. Taylor lost by a fall.
