International House of Swimming (and Music)

It's pretty amazing and fun how many different countries many of our friends originate from; and some are all in 1 family! We LOVE adoption!!!

The long awaited pink highlights!!!

They look so cute!!! The only problem is they fade, or worse, turn GREEN in the pool, hence.the lovely bathing cap.....

My mother always said (as she put large, prickly rollers in my hair), "It hurts to be (come) beautiful", only in this case, it's the ego that's hurt!

Pregnant Sisters - whose due first - not who you think!

Linda and Amy and the new cousins to be

Craig and Linda are adopting a baby boy any day now. Chris and Amy are expecting their 3rd on August 27th. They have two girls, Elizabeth and Katie. Maybe this one will be a boy?!

At Last.....

.....the long awaited blog I have been promising everyone! Hopefully it will prove to be fun and informative and keep everyone up to date on the Dinsmore household. Because there has been so much happening in our house lately, I will start by going back in time a couple weeks or so to a very special occasion:

Michae's HS Graduation from The Daniel Academy - we couldn't be more proud of him!

Michael giving the Student Council President address to his classmates.

Mom and Dad Blessing Michael.

Zac leading worship for the ceremony

Luke stylin it up, and all grandparents present!

Michael's graduation was amazing as we listened to him share the deep things the Lord had in his heart for his classmates (all 3 of them!), how we were able to speak to and pray over him, hear others speak prophetically to him and listen to a charge from Lou Engle that was absolutely amazing!

There really aren't words to express the joy and thankfulness we have in our hearts for the journey the Lord has brought us on over the past two years and for the fruit we see in our children. ALL THE PRAISE AND GLORY go to GOD!!!
