More WONDERFUL News to Share!!!

We are so blessed to have so many blessing all at once. We decided to pace the news a bit....
Just take a look at the pics of how much is going on in the Smith Family and try and guess our latest news FLASH!!!!

Jillian and Andy showed up one evening with a gift bag for us and this is what was inside. We like the names "GrandPa and GrandMa", but are open for suggestions, LOL. Please join us in praying for our first "Grandbaby", for Jillian to remain healthy and strong during her pregnancy, for she and Andy's safe travels as they return to America (Charleston, SC) for their next duty station and for a good transition for them.

Rejoice with us and the Reimer Family as we celebrate the life of this precious baby and praise God with us as we anticipate what special plans God has for his or her life.

Ben is graduating....

We are so happy and excited for Ben as he graduates from the University of Maryland with a BS in Business Administration. Pics to come after he throws his cap....

Taking back your faith from the American Dream.....
Are we growing more like Jesus daily or are we growing Jesus to be more like us, if so...when you gather in church and lift up your hands and your hearts to worship Him, we may not actally be worshiping the Jesus of the Bible. Instead we may be worshiping ourselves.....!

Lizzy has 6 puppies

Here is the boy with his first nursing session. He is always nursing. He is well on his way to becoming the family pig.

Here is girl #1.

Here are # 3 and #4 girls.

Lizzy with all 6. The little one not nursing is "Runty". He is not doing so well.

"Runty" trying to stay warm on a heat pad. Not long after this pic, he died. We cried and so did Lizzy. She kissed him and wanted to keep him. We had a nice little burial in our flower bed. He has the sweet smell of mint to enjoy for now.
