JJ (Jerold Jr.)
He is ALL boy. Very energetic and athletic. He loves throwing balls (and everything else). He loves rough housing and talking loudly. He repeats everything we say...for good or for worse. His last 4 teeth are finally coming through (teething has been rough). On his 18 month check up on December 4th he was 27lbs (68 percentile), 33" long (72 percentile) and head circumference is 19 1/2 (90 percentile). He’s wearing 24 month and 2T clothing and size 6 or 6 1/2 shoes (big boy!). His favorite words are snack, milk, walk and “I do” because he’s Mr. Independent. He loves being tickled and being the pesky little brother.
Tia
Tia is the optimal big sister. Always wanting to help and be “Mama #2.” She loves to sing, dance and do gymnastics. She has become quite the reader and absolutely LOVES arts and crafts. She is definitely going to be outgrown by her brother as she still has not reached 50 lbs and is in a size 12 shoe (my little bitty sweet pea). We are so blessed that on Christmas Day 2011 she prayed to receive Christ on the way to JJ’s baptism service. We have seen her faith and trust in God grow over the past year and look forward to see what God will do in and through her.
Tiffany
This past year has been full of excitement and challenges. Adjusting from having one child to two, sicknesses with an asthmatic child and a toddler, as well as unexpected financial hardships. Through it all, we have learned to have faith, trust God and laugh hard. I have been blessed to celebrate 10 years of serving as the Pastoral Administrative Assistant at StoneBridge Church. It is a pleasure to work along side brothers and sisters in Christ that I consider my family.
Jerold
Jerold has also been blessed to be at the same job teaching at Kannapolis Middle School. He is in his 11th year and loves teaching Math today as he did on his first day. He is an avid Atlanta Falcons fan and is hoping they win the Super Bowl this year. He is a wonderful godly husband and father who loves and serves his family well.
We pray you and your family will feel the love of God today and always!
