Sims Family Happenings

Hi friends!

We have finally entered the world of blogging! We realize that life often takes us away in distance and in busyness from those we love, so we would like to keep you all updated on our life like this at the very least! :) 

This past October we welcomed a new member into our family.  His name is Morris and he is a cuddly, playful, fun loving German Shepherd Pit Bull mix; we love him dearly!

He loves car rides and sticking his tongue out at the camera ;)

This year Anthony graduated from Olivet as well as commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Army.  It was a wonderful experience to see the many hours of studying, working, and training come to fruition on May 7th.  We were also so incredibly blessed to be surrounded by our family and friends that weekend.  It meant so much to have them make the trek to Bourbonnais that weekend to help us celebrate!

In honor of the 4th, Elise tried her hands at making a Flag Cake :)

Happy 4th of July!

We love the 4th!

That's our summer so far.  Stay tuned, as the days keep on passing we will have more and more things to share!  We pray blessings on each and every one of you and your family's this summer.  We hope God continues grow in your hearts and your lives, as He has in ours.  We love you all!
