Levi's Baptism
November 8 2009 Levi James DeYoung was baptized! A beautiful symbolization that we as parents and the church promise to raise Levi in the Christian faith. One of the deacons Jim Terpstra took Levi for a walk down the isle to show him off! As he handed him back to Bill and i he said somthing to to this effect. "Levi is one of God's children, and he gives him to us temporarily, to raise and teach, and then give back to do God's will".
Yesterday Bill and i promised that we would do everything we can to raise our boys to love the God!

DeYoung's lately...
This past few days have been SO beautiful! Fall is definately my favorite time of the year...The crisp cool air and the smell of leaves burning, and a Apple pie in the oven! God is so amazing to have created such amazing things for us to enjoy. Even just the leaves that turn bright red, orange and purple on the trees, and when the sun hits them in the late afternoon, how they radiate! I love it. If earth is this beautiful think about how amazing heaven will be!! What a great God we serve!
We have been adjusting well with 2 kids- Ethan loves Levi so much, he kisses him like 100 times a day, and wants SO bad for Levi to play monster trucks with him! It is just the most precious thing. I love being a mommy more than anything, well, i love being a wife too, but it is a different kind of love.
But anyway, Bill is still truckin away at school, He is in his 3rd year already, i don't know how he does it all. but i am proud of him. He is amazing. I now want to take this time to brag about my man. He is my Rock. He is selfless, he is strong when i am not. I don't know what i ever did to deserve him, but i musta done somethin right. This was always my verse when i was praying about my future husband "Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart". And he sure did!!! So many of our friends from the military are getting divorced, and it breaks my heart. mostly for the kids who have to go through it- i would know! It sucks! but whatever happened to "For better or for worse-AS LONG AS YOU BOTH SHALL LIVE"! It is so sad that people think they can just throw in the towel when things get tough! sad. ok can you tell i am bored..here are some pics!!

Levi's First bath
Last night Levi had his FIRST BATH! Here's a few pics of the boys in the bathtub, and some random ones as well! It's so fun having 2 boys! I love it. I want them to stay little forever! to snuggle up to me when they are tired, to miss me when i go to the grocery store, even just playing monster trucks on the floor... everyone says this time comes and goes way too fast and before i know it they will be going off to school!!
