Levi Samuel went to be with Jesus in January 26, 2010. My mommy delivered and miscarried at home. We all miss him terribly, but we know that we will see him in heaven soon. You can read his story HERE. We all love you Levi and cannot wait to see you! We also have 6 other babies in heaven, waiting on us.

My parents are "quiverfull", meaning they let God plan their family. My parents and I believe that every child is a blessing and should be received with great hapiness as Psalm 127 and 128 says.

My large family enjoys going out to eat, playing games, swimming in our pool, doing devotions together, helping out each other, serving Jesus, serving others in our pro-life ministry, and enjoying each other's company. The most important thing in my family we try to do is trying to please Jesus in every day of our life.
