"A HOUSE IS MADE OF WALLS AND BEAMS...

...A HOME IS BUILT WITH LOVE AND DREAMS."

march 2008- mel told us she was pregnant!

september 2008- hurricane ike ruined the luphers' home.

october 2008- witt harris lupher was born and i became an aunt)!

april 2010- the lupher 3 get to move into their (beautiful and renewed) home together!














today those things called "HAPPY TEARS" kept welling up in my eyes.
almost every morning i tell adelaide (as my mom always told me),
"this is the day that the Lord has made. i will rejoice and be glad in it." (psalm 118:24)
and that is my prayer, regardless of circumstances, that everyday i REJOICE.

but today as i said these words i had to blink a few extra times.
because today my heart was OVERFLOWING with joy.
i have prayed and longed for witt's homecoming.
i have tried to imagine what that day would be like. and TODAY was that wonderful day!
it was pretty much INCREDIBLE to see the luphers hanging out at HOME in their living room together.
and as you can see by the picture of these 3 cousins, i wasn't the only one overflowing with JOY!
