thankful for family, part 3

No surprises here... I'm crazy about my siblings. I can't imagine growing up without Caroline, Will, or David. Life in the Darnell home would have been very different had we not been given the gift of each of them.
Isn't my sister lovely?  Caroline came home from the hospital on my fourth birthday.  By far the greatest birthday present I've ever received!  I'm so thankful for her sweet spirit, kind heart, and FUN personality! 
 Then last year our family grew... as Brian (aka Uncle B) married Caroline... woohoo!  So thankful for a perfect match for my precious sister.
 Oh Uncle Will.  Thankful for how you make me laugh {a lot}, how you think deeply, how you love my son.
And finally Dave... God knew what He was doing when He added you to our family.  It is crazy that I can remember when you were born.  What a gift to watch you grow as your namesake into a man after God's own heart.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the Truth.

Matthew is SO cute in all these pictures. I just want to squeeze his cheeks.
[and I think your siblings are great too!]
