Us

After thinking about it, I realized no one ever gets to see Miah and I on here. So, one little update on us.... then back to the kids! Miah is currently the store manager for the Coffee Company in Hutchinson. He is also getting his web design company, Acts Design Studio, up and running. We are excited for what God has for us in this new year! I am busy at home with the kids- mothering is a big job... but I am so blessed by them every day that it is truly all worth it. I am also volunteering my time as an intern in the counseling ministry at our church. Elijah House Prayer Ministry is something I am really passionate about. I have always had a heart for hurting people... so this is a great way for me to have some time away, but also to be in ministry. Both of us are still doing music for worship at our church and are excited to be used by God in that ministry also. I think that about sums it up for us... I know God has plans to take us higher in 2007! I can't wait for the journey to start!

Kissing cousins!

This is Elijah & Morgan's first time meeting eachother. Eli already loves her so much! Eli & Morgan are about 6 weeks apart in age. It will be sooooo much fun to watch them grow up together, play together, and be friends. What an awesome blessing to have such a sweet and adorable niece! We love her!

Elijah

Elijah has grown so fast! He is now 2 months old and his little personality is really starting to show. What a sweet baby he is! He is so easy to make smile..... and is so laid back-- he is already down to only one feeding a night! Such a handsome boy he is!

Happy Holidays!

Just wanting to wish everyone a joyful and safe holiday season. We have enjoyed ours so far. It has been insanely busy but so enjoyable at the same time. We are enjoying watching our kids discover the heart of Christmas- Jesus' birth- and all the beauty that surrounds it. We pray your holiday will bless you in the same way as you remember God's amazing gift to us that beautiful night in Bethlehem.

What a cutie!

Gabriel finally started walking! He is growing so fast and his little personality is melting my heart every day. He has such a sweet spirit- and is such a little lover. Time passes too quickly, I am so thankful I can be a first hand witness to all his learning and growing. What a handsome boy he is growing into! 

Four!

The adjustment from 3 to 4 kids has been a really smooth one. I feel like life never stops around here. Things are always hopping- there is always something to do- someone to cuddle, an owie to pray for and kiss, questions to answer, and oh so much more! I love every moment... and I am so blessed to be able to stay at home with them. The kids love their new brother. Even Gabriel showers his little bro with kisses and loves all day long. Little Elijah is not lacking for attention and loving- that is for sure. It is so amazing to think about how awesomely and intricately God created us in the womb. How we come out so small and perfect. So tiny and intricate- all the details of our person- put together so beautifully.
What an awesome Creator we serve!!

Welcome, Elijah Jeremiah

HEY! We have finally had our 4th child. As you know he is a healthy boy, Elijah Jeremiah Scharpe, and he was 2 weeks and 6 days early. Well, early from his expected date Nov. 25th, but he was scheduled for the 17th. (cesarean) He weighed in at 8 lb 4 oz and was 21 in long. Quite the boy! :) He was very healthy and has no problems, but I have a hard time making something that's not perfect! He is very cute and has tons of hair... I think. But compared to our others, they had none. I will try to add pictures to this blog tomorrow. God is so awesome to have blessed us again! We love you all and thank you for your prayers. Miah and Scharpe Family (now 6)
