This beautiful family belongs to our very best friends. The Lord answered several different prayers all at one time when He allowed our paths to cross theirs.
I am so thankful for them and all that they mean to us!! They have truly been our family - there for us no matter what! I always have peace of mind knowing that no matter what, I always have people to depend on. They have kept our children (Way too many to times to count-- even given up there bed! -- haha--Mark's a sucker for the princess), gone on vacations, attended births, baptisms, hospital stays, most sporting events- even out of state; laughed with us- at us too, cried with -- and for us, and prayed for us. I would have never even thought to ask God for all of these attributes in our friends... but am so thankful He knows who we NEED. =)
The little guys (or younger I should say- that oldest one is turning into a giant before our eyes) are honestly like my own children. I have taught them in about every capacity and am so stinkin proud of them and enjoy them every time I am with them.
The other wonderful part is- they feel the same about our children. That is a true friend too. You can't really love someone unless they love your children. My mom taught me that =)
So-- enough of the gush-- on to the pics! Of course, if the Armstrong's schedule its going to be as cold as Siberia!! We shivered and shook through the whole darned thing! But I looove the results! They are all so photogenic!!
The top 2 cards are the front and back of their Christmas cards. The rest are just my favorites. It's easy to take pics of such great looking guys!!
Thanks, J- for everything! We always have fun =)
Promise of Joy:
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15 Don't need to add a thing to that! =)
