Yesterday was Rare Disease Day. This girl and her rare disease serve as a constant reminder of God’s faithfulness to us. Her 7 years of life haven’t always been easy, and I know there will be more bumps along the way- but we’re so thankful for where she is right now.
Favorite kid quote:
Tessa: “Have you noticed I’m the really special one in our family? I’m the only one with blonde hair, I’m the only one with two syllables in my name, and I’m the only one with a mass. That’s a whole lot of special.”
Favorite food: 
On Sunday at church our friend Mike was talking about Barbacoa beef, and how good his house smells when his wife makes it. Apparently it made several of us want to try Barbacoa, because we all had it in our crock pots this week. And Mike was right- your house smells good all day.
Favorite verse:
“Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!” Psalm 139:23-24
Favorite moment:
We’ll be cruising with Disney next week, and we’ve looking back at our past Disney cruises. This was our first one, with only two kids in tow. 
Our second one included another kid, and a bunch of friends!
Our third time included another kid yet again. This cruise was a busy one with all those babes.
We’re not adding any more kids with this cruise, but we are going with friends again!
