You've grown a lot since 2009.

Wow!

In July of 2016, Joseph turned eight. He likes Legos, Star Wars and learning Karate. He also takes time to read to his little sister, Lucy Pearl.

Lucy is very little

in this picture.

Reading together is fun!

In 2016, the family went to Hilton Head, SC.

Lots of sun, sand and good times.

Joseph and Lucy are pointing at something. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it Superman?

What can it be?

When you stand beside the ocean, do you think about where the waves have come from? Do you imagine what's under all that water? Do you hear the sounds and try to identify each one? Do you stand at the edge and wait for the sand to slowly dissolve under your toes? Jesus made the ocean and all its wonderful aspects. Jesus made you and Lucy and HE loves you both very much.

You have

wonderful

memories

of a good

time at the

beach.

Lucy will always

remember the time

you spend with her.

Being a big brother

is awesome!
