This picture is a little blurry, but I really like the way it turned out
Here's an (incomplete) recap of 2011 for us
We’re thankful God saw us through the year’s end…
Happy New Year blessings to all we do send!
Scott still loves to fly high up in the skies…
He wishes his wife would make him more pies!
We’re thankful for his job, though he can be gone for days…
There’s much to do when he comes home and stays
Hope runs her own “daycare” with 4 tots in tow...
Must we say more? She’s always on the go!
From children, those errands and household chores…
“A Pie?” she says, “There’s one at the store!”
I know what you’re thinking, they’re not really great…
He’ll get one at times, if he’s willing to wait
Alayna broke her arm before she turned 4…
that silly little monkey was found flat on the floor
You guessed it right, she fell off the bed…
We thought that story was ingrained in her head!
Briana, our talker has so much to say…
whether church, toys or dolls, there’s so much to play
Our girls love to sing and play together…
Elliott, poor guy is already a bother!
They shout “Come get Elliott, he’s getting in our stuff!”…
then they run away, all in a huff!
Elliott’s our tenderhearted/sleepy-eyed boy…
Thanks to his 1st birthday, “NO More Girl Toys!”
He’ll smile when just a few words are said…
but then you’ll find him quickly turning his head
He loves his little brother; it’s actually kind of funny…
so often we’ll find him lying on baby’s tummy
We welcome new life within our home…
On October 21st, Dominic Wade was born
He’s a really good baby, we cannot complain…
we have been blest, the rest were the same
He’s “LOVED” by all; he’s “SURVIVING” quite well…
if you take time to ask a story he’ll tell…
“…Alayna picks me up, Briana swings me too fast…
and Elliott hits me on the head, he thinks it’s such a blast…
My mom comes quick to rescue me, I’m glad she is so near…
my siblings running all around, seem to have no fear”
However we’ve come to celebrate the one…
that gives us Salvation, Jesus, God’s Son
We’re thankful for new birth; within a forgiven heart…
We pray each one would make a humble start
Then pressing onward in the journey at hand…
striving to reach that heavenly land
We truly are blest, what more can we say…
The Lord gives us strength to face each new day
There sure is much more that can be said…
But you’re probably tired, after all that you’ve read
We’re thankful for God’s abundant mercy and grace…
We trust he’ll provide through all you will face
We’re thankful for our church, our family and friends…
May the Lord watch between us until we meet again.
Scott & Hope Schambach…
with added blessings: Alayna ~ Briana ~ Elliott ~ Dominic
Thanks Grandpa...We're still enjoying it!
