Time flyes!

Time sure does fly, doesn't it? It will be 12 years since we married on November 9th! Look at Johnny...just 8 years old here....still handsome as ever! I have been blessed so much more than I knew I would be on this day.

Blessed with children, a great church, friendships, a wonderful marriage with the most amazing husband, father, and pastor.

The only losses have been my waist line...:) and grandpa who is now with the Lord!

Enjoy your family! They are God's gift to you!

p.s. I don't want to hear any 'mullet jokes' in the comments...that mullet was one of the things I loved most about Dan!!! :)

My greatest blessing!

This is my greatest blessing and joy! 

Dan Plourde! 

He is the best husband, father, and pastor in the universe! 

We have been married for 12 years and have 8 amazing children!

I am very thankful! 

My kids!

I can't get enough of my kids! They are simple amazing and an amazing blessing to me!
God bless you!

Daniel James

This is my 9 year old son, Daniel James. 

How would I describe him in a sentence or two? 

Daniel has a pastor's heart.

He is loving, kind, and thoughtful. 

He is funny and full of wonder! 

He is a wonderful young man of God! 

Lost teeth!

My 2 boys (Noah and Christian) each lost a tooth this week!
First they lost them as in they fell out of their mouth...then they lost them meaning they cannot find them. I told them the tooth fairy is pretty strict on having the actual tooth under the pillow if they want the money. I may have to pull some strings over at the tooth fairy village if you get my drift.

With or without teeth these are some pretty handsome boys!

Dan's running with me!

Well, there you have it! Dan is running the 2009 Disney Marathon with me!
It will be a great date to run with my sweet husband!

We can carb load on Saturday night, run on Sunday, and talk about it on the ride home! It will be a great adventure to share together! Please keep us in your prayers!

Unforgettable!

Some people are unforgettable....like this person here.

Miss Penny. She was (and still is) a huge part of our children's lives for 4 years!

Miss Penny did it all. She bathed, clipped, fed, played with, and taught my kids lots of games and songs! But most importantly, she simple loved them.

She gave Dan and I many ministry opportunities and date nights. She gave me time to shop, play, and rest!

She invested in our children and loved them as if they were her own. She loved them so much she even tried to take one of them home with her. Can you guess which one????

But that season has passed and now Miss Penny has 2 beautiful boys of her own, Roman and Jadon!

I couldn't even begin to list all Miss Penny means to us (and her husband Pastor Chris also) as the title says...her investment will forever be unforgettable!
