Welcome to my garden

There are so many jewels in my garden... rich soil, flowers, veggies and herbs, birds, butterflies, hummingbirds, ladybugs, seeds sprouting, the sound of the water fountain, but the best jewels are family and friends when they join me in the garden and share in the peace and beauty of what our Heavenly Father has provided me with. So many jewels, so many blessings. Julie +: )

Evan's Baptism

"People were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them; and when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. Jesus, however, called the children to himself and said, "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God"

Luke 18:15-16


My son and his son







Beautiful child, I love you Evan!

"Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it"

Proverbs 22:6
