thankyou stephanie

I just read the last two blogs. Thankyou emily for making me laugh, love surprises like that. I think enough hasn't been said about the contribution that you all make to our wonderful blogs. I enjoy so much all of your entries. Love the great pictures and stories of our lives, especially since we are all over the world. What a family ! Now for the sweetheart who is caring for our home while we are here in Denmark. I can't thankyou enough for all the many things that you are trying to do for us and for your amazing family. You may be able to only see the day to day struggles that you and Vaughn are dealing with but you are missing the truely great person that you have become through the years. I watch you fix the most creative and delicious meals, go to the park with enthusiastic little children who love their mom. I see you homeschooling, fitting in daffodil hill, having a green st patricks day breakfast, decorating the house for each birthday that comes along, trying to keep Sasha from bring home chunks of the road on a family walk and chasing Simon to keep him from eating catfood and getting in the toilet.
You are more than all this. You are full of the charm and hospitality that your friends and all of us look forward to being around. You are a dear friend who is full of promise. We depend on your strength and your sweet spirit.
Just wanted to include this very successful little family on this post because they reflect their mom's strength and tremendous desire to be the best that she can be. None of us are the best that we can be, at least in this life. But, Stephanie, you are right now, a remarkable person with great courage and a soft heart. What a bunch of talents you have been given. You have a lifetime to use them. Keep up the good work. There is hope in the future for all of you.


I watch you share all these talents with these creative little girls...



And finally, this wonderful young eleven year old. He is a great boy who has faced many challenges during these last few years. I love him and know that our Heavenly Father is watching over him and with all of your abilities as parents, Jonah couldn't have a better mom and dad. Please remember how much we love and appreciate you and your unique personality. You deserve to find joy in the many little things that make you smile from day to day. Have a wonderful Easter Sunday and Thankyou for all that you have done for us. I love you, Mom
