This week the youngest and the oldest in our house had birthday’s!
On Tuesday February 17th, Beatrice turned 2 yrs old. She is our very sensitive but strong willed little girl. She loves to talk and try new words. She is surely a lefty like her biggest brother, Eli, or Elijah as she calls him. She loves to run around the house as someone chases her, usually Kyle. She has been known to call her biggest sister, Hala, Mama because they are so close. She has only recently decided that Charlotte is her friend. They read books together now. Bea is also the King Kong in Sophia and Jenna’s world. She’s been known to bite those 2 if she doesn’t get her own way. And I’m pretty sure she has Daddy wrapped around her finger too. She gives the best hugs and kisses. She has just started to say ‘I love you’ and squeezes back now when she is hugged. We are so blessed to have this little girl in our family.
Today, Thursday February 19th, Chuck turns 40 years old! He is officially my old man now. We have spent more than half our lives together now and I am so proud of the man Chuck has become and is becoming. God has been working in him over all these years. Chuck loves the Lord and seeks Him in everything he does. He desires to become more Christ-like even knowing that it won’t be easy. He is a man that wants to see his kids grow to adults that love the Lord as he does. Chuck wants to be a part of their lives and give them memories to always remember. His love for the Lord has brought him here to the Philippines so the Ga’dang can have an opportunity to hear the Gospel and be able to spend eternity in Heaven also. Praise God for such a faithful man!
Here is a recent video clip of Bea naming everyone in our family. She usually calls herself Bee-ah! But in this video she calls herself Bea.
