Family moments become so precious when for reasons not fully understood we grow up into smaller units of the once whole.

It's always fun to come together and find the time to spend moments in each other's company.  there is always, though the lingering knowledge that we will soon go our separate ways again.

That's how you know you've succeeded as a mom and a dad  - when your children can manage on their own.  They are successful and happy - you've done a good job.  These were taken at Nicole's wedding.  The first of our children to marry.  We welcomed Shaun into our family in 2016.  they have been married for a year now.

Now we prepare for Mark's wedding to Amanda.  So pleased that he has found a beautiful, caring, amazing woman for his life partner.  We are so very happy to welcome her into our family.  Matthew has a lovely girlfriend and I know that she makes his heart sing.

Natalie and Kaylie are a joy to have around our home.  Going to be difficult to say goodbye to them one day.

the Stafford family is doing ok.  We have weathered our fair share of stormy seas and have emerged stronger for them.

Praying that God will keep his hand on all that we do.
