About Us

Not too much to say (at least not yet)... no long list of credentials... just a story that's worth sharing. I'm Adam Vaughan. My wife, Kelly, will also be sharing. We have 6 children. Our two sons, Lincoln and Tucker, have gone to be with the Lord. The remaining four with us are Emmiline, Eloise, Elliott and Charli. Charli is a triplet. Her brothers Lincoln and Tucker are identical twins. They're dancing with Jesus right now, and they're not sad about it at all!

surprising growth

The House of Hope was full this weekend...
Filled with fun and surprises...
Wide-eyed with joy and freshness on her tongue... now wholly complete... two front teeth are outta there.  Mouth marked with love's shape...
Her new grin makes her seem small again.  
I sigh with thanks.

We had two showings on Saturday.  Not sure what will come of them, but the smalls feel sure and optimistic.  
I learn from their big faith.

This little had a couple of surprises too...
She decided it was time for more "big girl" food.. 
She enjoyed...

Daddy's plum
Broccoli... 

Go figure!!!
And I had Pastor document her first ever Oreo...

Two handed enjoyment...

It was also sweet being a carrier of surprise...
This lovely... now official... double digits and full of beauty.
Pastor and I enjoyed filling her world with unknown blessings.
Like a box of chocolates... no big deal to most... a first for this princess with a sweet tooth.  Due to allergies this is the first time in her life she has been able to taste such divinity.

Handmade by her momma and sister... she relished the mystery... I whisper... "you are seen..."
She hears.
The day has been chocolate rich...

It is a gift to celebrate the stories of others...
Each life... no matter the age... is a blessing worth recounting...
And of course... the greatest mystery... the secret birthday dessert...
A dream come true to the one with allergy-induced limitations...
"Triple oreo surprise."
Made with love from a momma's heart.  A heart that longs for all her smalls to know they matter and are so VERY special... to me and the King...

Praying that from the overflow of such love my baby eyes would see each day like a birthday party... celebrating all forms of growth...
For all too soon... it will be time to blow my candle out...
So a different kind of party can begin...

I am not indifferent to the notion...
This princess has eyes aware... 
Resting in the truth that greater surprise-filled celebrations are underway...
