New Years

First Baby Food Experience: Carrots

Leighton did not like the carrots. He cried and cried and after about 5 bites Luke rescued him. Leighton wouldn't come to me or even look at me for about 10 minutes. But after 10 minutes he was able to forgive me. I should learn from Leighton and try to be more quick to forgive people myself!

First Taste of an Apple

I let Leighton task some of an apple after I was done eating it. He loved it! This is him with the Apple and ......this is Leighton without the apple!

Faithwalkers Day 1

Leighton was so good and played in the hotel room so I could do my quiet time and reflect on some good messages. I couldn't resist taking a break for some cute pictures.





My 1st year at Faithwalkers I become a Christian and made some crucial decisions about living for the Lord.

My 2nd, 3rd and 4th year were about sitting front and center, taking a lot of notes, and building into women's lives.

This 5th year, was a little different. God was so faithful in allowing me to get into some great conversations, to learn, and to listen to messages, but this time I was in the back of the room, trying to keep Leighton from crawling everywhere and trying to keep him from making loud noises. Leighton was very good and I was so excited to have him there. I can't wait to see what the next several years at faithwalkers look like as we change venues to Omaha, NE next year, as we add a second child, as our family continues to grow, and as our church evolves with more and more women surrendering their lives to the Lord attending the conference.

Another Good Bath Time!

Before spending a few days in Osage Beach, MO for the faithwalkers conference Leighton needed a bath! I thought it would be a good idea to have some fun spiking his hair.
