Daddy's and girls. Nothing sweeter. Those girls that have daddy's that spend time with them are those women who are confident and secure. Keep up the good job David. We love your family ferousously!!!!! We miss you and pray for your children just as I know you pray for ours. Visit my blog. I am determined to write my story no matter how hard it may be or how silly. It is good therapy to see your thoughts written in words. It is more for me than my readers but my friend join me. The name is Our Journey
I am blessed beyond measure to have been married to an incredible Godly man for 24 years. We have five amazing children; three bio boys and two darling daughters grown in our hearts. I teach 6th grade language arts and also love speaking to ladies and sharing the beautiful testimony God has given me.
