Wow….time moves fast!  A lot has changed since I last updated the website.  Let’s start with the boys…..Cooper is now 7 and is in first grade doing great.  He is totally involved with riding four wheelers, go carts, fishing, star wars and of course playing with his brothers.  Connor is 6 years old and enjoys the same things…except for his love for Spongebob!  He could watch that show all day long!  He is definitely our comedian of the family!  Marcus is Daddy’s little buddy!  He goes wherever he goes!  He is the best riding companion in the car….never complains!  His love right now is Lightning McQueen “queen queen”…that is what he calls it!  And his other love is his little sister…Brynlee. 

On August 4th, we welcomed our baby girl into our family…Brynlee Ann.  She is perfect…just like God intended.  She is now 3 months old and getting acustomed to life with 3 older brothers….lots of noise!  I can only imagine what stories Mallory told her little sister before she came to be with us on earth!  She is a wonderful baby…sleeps through the night and really doesn’t cry much.  Marcus is really in love with his new sister.  He kisses her all the time and calles her “Bin Bin”.  It is so sweet to watch! 

Russell and I are doing well and very happy about our new growing family!  We feel blessed to have such wonderful kids!  We could not have made it without our family, friends and strangers praying for us.  I can’t thank you enough for the love and support through the past 2 years.  The power of prayer is so strong and we are living proof! 

Next time you see a clear beautiful sky…look up and smile at Mallory!  For I know that she is smiling on us everyday! 

Much love,

Russell, Emily, Cooper, Connor, Marcus and Brynlee
