"We do not truly see light, we only see slower things lit by it, so that for us light is on the edge - the last thing we know before things become to swift for us!" - CS Lewis

Brandt DeVee has been home for 2 years and we celebrated at Uncle John's! Uncle Michael is 40 years old so they celebrated together. The pictures of Brandt are with Uncle Michael... and he got a new guitar. Grandpa is an expert so he will have to be the teacher! :) God has blessed little Rembrandt in so many ways. May his little life always glorify his creator!

Cali's Adoption Day is June 10th and we celebrated by making cupcakes, going to the Ripon park, going to Fun Works & having a party at Grandpa & Grandma's. Aunt Jolyn's birthday is June 10th also so it is always a very special day. Cali Tyler is the one of the most beautiful blessings in our lives!

William Shakespear said: "The quality of mercy is not strained; it droppeth as gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed - it blesseth him that gives and him that takes."

Patrick, Paula, Cali & Brandt would be blessed if you would cover all four of us in prayer. We are blessed but also having a very difficult season in our lives. Thank you so much for your love & support & prayers... we need them!!!

Rembrandt turns 2 years old!



Since Brant's U. Craig is in the U.S. Air Force and is currently spending hours flying the skies above the desert of the Middle East, we decided to have Brant's 2nd birthday party in honor of U. Craig and all the U.S. Air Force pilots. All of us are extremely proud of U. Craig and his service to defend the USA as Commander of a EC-130H aircraft in the warfare division. Brant DeVee loves planes and he was happy to see all the planes flying around his party... some paper planes periodically hitting the guests in flight! Hopefully U. Craig is better in the navigation department than his little nephew!! : ) Brant loves Chad & Noah & Emi and has "tried" to talk about them and the "A-panes" ever since. Grandpa Paul Rumble turned 85 on Brant's birthday this year - it is Brant's only great-grandpa now!

Thank you U. Craig and all of you who are working with him and love watching our little son grow up in pictures!!! ( : We pray for you as you live in the desert every single day!
