Jesus Walked On Water!!

I think Nevaeh is done with fairy tales for a while. Today, I watched The Miraculous Mission (again). And Nevaeh walked past the TV just as Jesus was walking on water and asking Peter to come to him.

It was hard to see what kind of emotions he was feeling, he looked...

Her First Kinder Day 2014

Nevaeh could hardly sleep the night before she knew she'd be attending her new kinder for the first time. She woke up at 3am telling me to get up and get her ready for kinder!  This beautiful girl is always out to have fun. To be around people. She loves people and loves doing things. She is not the type of kid to sit still. She wants to explore, to sing, to ask lots of questions just to make conversation. Nevaeh is the kind of...
