This is for Amy!!!


POOR AMY!!!!!! Our daughter-in-law Amy's feelings are hurt because she is not in any recents posts. But the only reason she is not, is because the poor thing always has to work on sundays. And that is when Christopher and Joshua are here because they come to church and then we hang out at the house. It is not because we don't love you , WE LOVE YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!!!!! So here is Amy's very own post!!!!!!!! Isn't she BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Thank you God!!!

I just wanted to take a little time to give God some glory. Yesterday Rayn (the little blondie w/blue eyes all over this blog) had her tonsils taken out and everything went as planned and she is doing really good. All last night she did not really want her MEME (me,her aunt) out of her sight!!! She is really a MOMMY/MEME girl and I just love that. We gave her a cloth flower that sings with a ladybug on it and her and I established early on that the ladybug was "Ceskas bug". She is going to be a super "Big Cousin".

WHY CHINA???

People are starting to ask Why China??? Well there are alot of personal reasons such as the one child policy that China has, the fact that I took a whole semester of China culture in Sociology way back when, but the main reason is we believe that is where God guided us. We believe this with every thing in our heart and souls. But tonight I went to Billyfoote.com, they are a couple from San Antonio, whom also wrote one of my favorite christian songs, "Amazing Love", and whom also adopted their daughter from China and when I went to their website the true meaning of "Why China" was right there on the screen and I would love to share it with you.

"The Lord your God is the God of gods and Lord of lords. He is the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and takes no bribes. He gives justice to orphans and widows. He shows love to the foreigners living among you and gives them food and clothing. YOU , TOO, MUST SHOW LOVE TO FOREIGNERS, FOR YOU YOURSELVES WERE ONCE FOREIGNERS IN THE LAND OF EGYPT. You must fear the Lord your God and worship him and cling to him."
Deut. 10:17-20

That says it all for us, and as I was reading it again and again, Steven and the war came to mind also. I hear all day long how people are against the war and how they are against President Bush. I myself have found that I am angry now and I don't understand things anymore ,because I truly do not want Bubba to go back, but for the sake of our son , one of the loves of our lives, I have to believe in what he is doing, and we must support him!!!!! So after reading this scripture I see that all of our soldiers are truly doing what is asked of them by our God, and may his love shine upon all of them and keep them safe. Hug your children tonight and when you go to bed please pray for our leaders and our soldiers I beg you, they are taking care of us, and the way I look at it Steven and everyone else over there are trying to make our world a safer place for Franceska, Rayn, Astrud, Jade , Lily, Joshua, Alex, Jacob, The Bruner kids,The Gray kids, just everybody, and all of your children to grow up in. Whatever we do in this life , do it to glorify God and we can't go wrong. God bless all of you.


Just curious!!!

I watch my visitor counter everyday and I am always curious about who you are so if you can please leave me a comment every now and then , just so I know who is peeking!!!! And then one day I can put you in Franceskas baby book okie dokie!!! Love and blessings to all of you.

Thank you Amy for always letting me know your here!! I LOVE YOU GIRLHEAD BIGGER THAN THE SKY!!!

Well it's OFFICIAL!!!!

On June 3oth Frank turned 50!!!! Kerry, Kim and Lisa threw him a surprise birthday party and he was really surprised!!! Craig even came to celebrate this with us and it was awesome, thank you Craig!!! Also thank you to Olga ,Jared and Melanie for coming also, we love you!!! This was a huge thing to us because one just cannot surprise him!!!! We did some of our hillbilly sand skiing, and it was a blast !!! AAAANNNNDDD then on July 11th , I turned 40!!!!!! As always we were at the lake. Every birthday I have ever had has been down at the lake, and this one was great also. I just really wished we had our "babygirl" to celebrate these milestones with. But it will happen, and we are getting closer everyday.

I apologize for the lack of posting but like I said we have been at the lake, and now we are busy with VBS, Rayn is having her tonsils out on wednesday so please pray for her. Chris and Amy's wedding is almost here, and Steven will be home for a weekend in August before he leaves for Iraq, and Astrud has volleyball camp at UT this weekend. I will catch up soon I promise.
