My Family

Here they are....my pride and joy. I love them and I love showing them off!!!

Jeff and I met in 1997 when we were freshmen at The University of Alabama. We dated for 3 years, got married, and joined staff with Campus Crusade for Christ (an inter-denominational ministry). We have been ministering to college students ever since at different places like University of Southern Miss, University of Georgia, and now our alma mater The University of Alabama. Jeff loves telling students about Jesus and helping them grow in their faith. I love being able to stay at home but also still be in the ministry alongside Jeff. He loves Alabama football, golf, basketball, and the occasional video game.

Samuel is 9 years old - my wild and crazy boy. He loves digging in the dirt and trying to figure out how things work. He also breaks a lot of things. Adopting him has been one of the greatest blessings and privileges of my life. You can go back to the home page of the blog and look for the links to his adoption story. You should read it. God worked amazing wonders to lead us to our son!

Ellie Kate is my little diva and turned 5 in February. She is high maintenance but as sweet as pie. Giving birth to her was beyond amazing and an experience I will never forget (both good and bad -ha!). She tests me daily and tries my patience, but she also gives the best kisses and I love her to death! Currently, her obsessions include (but are not limited to) her best friend Neely, anything princess, and playing mama to anyone or anything that will let her.

Abigail is the happiest, sweetest little girl.  She is 3 and so much fun right now! We prayed she would be laid back and easy because after our first two, we hoped for a bit of a break. For the most part, she has been easy and laid back and as sweet as they come.  Abigail loves to play with baby dolls, read books, and follow her big brother and sister around. What a joy it has been to have this 3rd little miracle in our family!

Anna Mitchell is our precious newborn who was born January 19, 2012.  Her first few weeks of life were very difficult with lots of fussiness and reflux, but now she is settling into a great routine and is just the perfect little {surprise} completion of our family.  We are all a little smitten by her and love to give her kisses all the time!
