We are so thankful that many years ago the gift of salvation started as a baby in a manger, Who died on the cross for our sins, and then rose again so that we could have eternal life for those who believe and accept HIM!
Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

We began attempting to potty train as soon as little man showed any interest.  We of [...]
