70's party, Ava at Ballet & Samuel is awake!




We attended the 2nd Annual youth group 70's party and had a blast! Matt showed all the youth that he knew how to have fun too as he literally tore up the dance floor in his 70's athletic gear (i think his pants were size youth small)! And yes, those are elbow pads, and sweat bands...and a fro!!


This photo of Ava is in the locker room at the ballet studio where she is taking lessons once a week. Her teacher is a woman from our church and she is incredible! When you walk into the studio, there is a gorgeous painting of a ballerina and at the bottom of the painting this scripture, "Let us praise His name with dancing" from Psalms. And that is what they do. The entire lesson, she has them dancing to praise and worship music. Ava absolutely loves it. Matt picked her up for the first time yesterday and got to watch her dance for a little bit, and as a proud dad said "she was made for this."


Samuel is awake more! We get to see his big, blue eyes and great big smile. And, what a joy it is! Anytime he is awake or making a smile or funny face, everyone in the family runs to see.

What an amazingly clear picture of how perfectly our God works in all areas of our lives & concerns! The beauty of your precious Ava, Emmaline, & Samuel, the beauty of the love between Matt & Bet, and the beauty of His leading in all of your lives! To God be the glory! BUT, we miss you, terribly!
By the way, did you get Samuel's diaper bag? If not, it would be a picture of the Brashear family's hectic schedules, huh?! Keep the pictures updated, Bet! Love you!
