Olivia couldn't wait to give me my birthday present that she had bought on a little summer field trip with her school a few weeks ago.  birthday and sleepover 162  

I couldn't believe it when I opened the little box.  I was expecting a bracelet or something with some type of Kentucky charms on it.  She had been to the state capitol.

Erich managed to pop in for a few minutes that evening between different parts of his job at KCU, but I didn't get his picture.  :(

birthday and sleepover 152  So I'll add my kiss from my nephew Phillip. 

Somehow God keeps me going.  With special gifts, funny homemade cards, and little-kid kisses, but I still miss Nick so much.IMG_2785 

This is Nick last year on my birthday.  He frosted my cake. 

Goodness, I miss him more every day.

Thankful that one day I will be with all of my kids for eternity. 

Just praying daily that Erich, Evan, Todd, and Olivia will continue to grow stronger and stronger in their faith.
