Rembrandt turns 2 years old!
1:29 PM
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!

Hess Wedding
8:56 PM
All 9 of Patrick's brothers and sisters and their spouses & children came together from 5 states for Wendell's wedding in Goshen Indiana. The 46 members of the Douglas Hess family were together on January 3rd for the wedding. Patrick's brother Wendell married Mark Royer's niece Marie Royer from Goshen Indiana. Cali & Brant did well in freezing temperatures with a busy schedule - they loved meeting all the cousins and Cali thought that being at a wedding was the best day of her life so far! She will never forget it. There is one picture in this album of Patrick's entire family - and then several of his brothers & sisters and the neices & nephews. The Lord has been very good to Patrick's family. What a sweet time for them to be together again.

Brant is excited about the Christmas decorations and all the yummy food. He will be turning 2 years old in a few months. May God richly bless each of you this December with heavenly blessings!!!

Brant's Adoption Day Campfire!
5:58 PM
We had a little campfire celebration last night in honor of Brant being home for one year! Some of our friends were able to come by and we had a great evening by the fire. We appreciate all the prayers for Brant this past year. We are extremely blessed by Brant each day! It has been a wonderful adventure to have a little boy! He certainly is all boy and we are seeing how fun that can be. : ) Our son is a beautiful addition to our family! God has been so good to him and to us. Click Here to see a new video on You Tube of Brant's last year. Click Here to sign our guest book.
