Evynn found some 'Rhyan's Hope' business cards, and she asked Matt, "Is this Rhyan's Hope?" He told her it was and then she asked Rhyan, "Rhyan. Is this your Hope?"

So fun.

I'm in the process of sending out an update email. As usual, it's difficult to hit the 'send' button on a mass email. :)

I am working on the tax receipts and plan on having them in the mail this week for all of you that donated to Rhyan's Hope. And, as always, I thank you so much for all you've done.

I hope you all have a blessed evening.

In His love,
Courtney

My Evynn's three years old. And still an angel... usually.

In case you are going through a period where you need His peace…

You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in You.
Isaiah 26:3

He always keeps His Word.

My baby turned three-years-old yesterday. I have a very difficult time with change, so the last day of the year has a certain sadness to it. We celebrated Evynn’s birthday by singing and eating cake, but since her party isn’t until Saturday, even that was subdued.

We were driving home from the park and I remained quiet, lost in my thoughts of how my life with a baby had just ended forever. Rhyan and Evynn were in the backseat having a strong discussion on the right way to do something when Rhyan said, “Do you know what three-year-olds do? They listen to their sisters!!”

Thank you, Rhyan! Matt and I busted out laughing, and I said good-bye to my two-year-old with a smile. Hello to my three-year-old.

But just to let you know - she still isn’t listening to her sister.

May your 2008 be filled with smiles.
