I'm really enjoying this stage of parenting. The kids are all growing into such fun, interesting, self-sufficient people, and it is fun to support them in their activities, watch them make good friends, seek the Lord, and grow into amazing young adults. Others may call us "busy," but I call our lives "full," in the best possible way. I am so grateful for the relationships we have as a family, for the amazing people who connect with and love our kids, the ways we can serve and love others together, and most of all for our relationship with the Lord that continues to grow as we navigate life's ups and downs together. I'll include below a photo dump of the last two months of 2025 as we prepare to head into 2026!
