I recently stumbled upon this meme and thought I would go find some old pictures of my boys through the years.
My, my…the years have flown by so quickly! If you are the mother of young ones now, cherish each and every moment. Time waits for no one! I labeled the first one with my son’s names, let’s see if you can figure out who’s who as they are growing up.
Easter - 1991
Ready for Church…5 years later
My oldest son’s wedding day in the summer of 2003, with all of his brothers. He left two weeks later for a one-year tour of duty in Afghanistan.
And this one taken on Easter 2007, right after their annual spring football game.
Now finally, I have my granddaughters to add a little pink to the family photos! I enjoyed raising the boys…..but MY GIRLS are GREAT !!!!
Please join us over at Alicia’s More Than Words for more flashbacks!
What a cute flashback...you have a lovely family!

ReplyDeleteKnow that you're always in my thoughts and prayers!
Hebrews 6:17-20 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

This passage is so very comforting! Here praying!
ReplyDeleteJohn 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Susan,
ReplyDeleteOk, Now you've inspired me. I don't know a lot about how to do a meme......I don't even know how to pronounce it!! :)
But I came by to tell you that I finally mailed your Nickapalooza shirt today!
Let me know when it arrives! And if there is a problem, please also let me know!
Great pictures!
Love them all!!
Precious!
Love,
Tammy
Oh, I also wanted to tell you that I thought you were on my blogroll...I have so many to add....it is trickier because of the way my blog is set up and I just need a hunk of time to concentrate!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I love you and hope your day is great. Your family is precious! Both generations!
Love,
Tammy
What a great post. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. I enjoyed seeing how all the ladies decorated their tables using Scripture as their theme, but this was one of my favorites. Blessings.
