We Love the Beach



As the years go by the children change and grow and God continues to amaze us with His beauty of the ocean and beach. The kids all thrive with sunshine and excersize, good food and family fellowship and memory making. We are so blessed to have grandparents that take ALL of us to the beach. Thanks Ken & Joy.

Christmas 2010
















Christmas this year celebrated the 90th Birthday of my grandmother. What a blessing to have such a wonderful matriarch in the family. We hosted several parties and enjoyed praising and worshiping the birth of our Savior on Christmas Eve at the Gwinnett Arena.

Life is Good

With the amount of time that has passed since my last blog I cant believe I'm even attempting to continue but life does go on and we must persevere :) To update our status, our four youngest ones finalized their adoption March 2010. I know I have pictures somewhere but have had to get a new computer so I think the pics are on the old one. uggg. The event was BEAUTIFUL and many tears of joy were shared.
Everyone is growing physically and spiritually and are settling into their lives as Streater's. All of us have all grown so much. The past three years have been hard but well worth the trip. I praise God every time I see my children interact with each other and reach out to fellowship with each other. Finding each child's gifts and talents is so beautiful and I feel so blessed to be the one to enjoy them.
At this time, Burt and I are now praying for God to lead us in which direction He has for us to add to our family again. We have found several doors shut through the foster system and see God stretching us to learn about other ways. We'll let you know.
Thanks for listening.

We're Still Here

I can't believe how time has flown. Our family has changed in so many ways and is still stretching and growing. We've learned so much and realize we have more to go. The children have grown physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. We've celebrated birthdays, broken bones, lost teeth and new hopes and dreams. We look back and can't believe where we came from and were we are now. I look forward to were God will take us. Below are some captions of our time together.
