Nathaniel,
our first-born son.
Hilariously funny,
incredibly intelligent.
Isaiah,
our second son.
Hates injustice,
loves farming.
our first daughter and third child;
a tom-boy who has an uncanny
awareness of what's in style--and what's not.
Andrew,
our third son, fourth child.
He is strong as an ox
and has a heart of gold.
Christopher
is our fifth child;
when he first said his own name,
he pronounced it "Bipper."
It stuck as his nickname.
He enjoys life more than any child I have ever known.
our sixth child and fifth son.
He feels things deeply,
and loves even deeper.
our seventh child...second daughter.
Her eyes truly are a window
to her soul.
She loves all the girly things that Linnea never did.
G-I-R-L-Y girl.
our third daughter and eighth child.
She has helped me remember what a
high calling it is to be a mother.
She is spirited, headstrong, and determined.
and we love every little bit of her!
Elizabeth Grace
our fourth daughter and ninth child.
People might assume that the baby in a large family
couldn't possibly get enough attention and love--
they'd be wrong.
Someone is always asking for a turn to hold the baby!
We are completely smitten.
