Here's a little about our family. This is a picture of our 3 girls on our family trip this summer. We were gone for 17 days and we experienced 6 national parks, Disneyland, the ocean, a family reunion and a family wedding. It was quite a trip and we got along amazingly well in the van for that long!

I like the way the girls glow when they are doing something they love. They all do many activities, but they all seem to have that special something. The beauty shines through at those times.

Melody was named appropriately. She loves to sing and she really enjoys singing for others. She is even confident enough to sing at our church's Christmas Eve services where there are 2,000+ people. She has also recently become very interested in photography.

Anna is constantly playing the piano. We joke that she plays something everytime she passes by the piano, but it is pretty true. She hopes to be a professional pianist someday and travel around the world. I hope she takes us with her!

Cassidy is still working on determining her specialty. I would say it's a toss-up between comic relief, soccer and song writing. I'm routing for her to write the songs, Anna to play them on piano and Melody to sing them. Maybe they'll be famous musical sisters someday!

Beauty definitely shows itself when you are doing something you love and are passionate about. People can see your enthusiasm and joy...that's God's beauty. He gave you the gifts.
