"We are grateful for Mark’s steadfast dedication to providing for his family, and his job that allows him to do so.
We are blessed and lucky that Heather is able to watch the beautiful simplicity unfold each day at home, in caring for her children and household.
We have learned that “God’s delay is not God’s denial,” and we are excited to see Jessica begin nursing school at the start of the New Year.
We are filled with joy as Caitlin, Danny, and Charlotte blossom as a little family of three.
We see the incredible beauty of God’s creation as Taylor explores and flourishes while studying abroad in Switzerland.
We adore the innocence and laughter that Jake and Joe radiate, bringing unending energy and liveliness to our home.
We are guided by the incredibly radiant, always perseverant, ceaselessly amazing Zoey, and we are uplifted and sustained by the hope and faith she shines for all to see."

With Love and Blessings,
The Needham Family

And, here are a few pictures we took of the all the kids before Jess and Matt headed off to Chicago.I look at these pictures and can hardly believe that these beautiful gifts are all mine.Despite all of my short comings and failures along the way,they are,each and every single one of them,the most amazing human beings.I take no credit for that.

Very blessed indeed!! You are very blessed that you can get ALL of you kids to smile and look at the camera at the same time!!! That is a major rarity for the Heflin household!!! Merry Christmas Heather, I am TRULY blessed that God led us together to become good friends. What a blessing you are! Love, Cammie (& Addy)!

lovely, lovely photos of everyone! Only one very "special" person missing - Yep... Markie, Mark. Know these were probably taken when he was at work.

Heather, I'm so glad you posted the back of your Christmas greeting - I am one of the "very lucky" ones to have my own copy - but now everyone out there in "blog land" can see the beautiful words included with photo! I, of course, have shown it to all my friends, and I saw some teary eyes along with smiles

Just want everyone out there to know - I spoke with Jessica & Caitlin this week and their voices & personalities are as sweet as the beauty you all see in these photos.

Love& hugs to everyone!

What a beautiful family. You are indeed richly blessed. I am so glad I found your blog. You wouldn't believe how many times precious Zoey has made me smile. The love she receives from her family shines brightly and then radiates onto all she meets. Merry Christmas Heather! :)

You do have one of the most adorable families on record. So there's that... :)

And they ABANDONED you to go to Chicago. Don't forget to keep hammerin' 'em about that.
