Happy New Year From the Smith Family, January 2009



Well, here we all are! A rare picture of all seven of us together! It has been a blessing to have David home for a month (that went by way too fast, by the way) and I wanted to be sure to capture some memories!

We've all experienced changes in our families - they grow, they move away, they multiply! My heart is full when I see these pictures and look back on how God has blessed us so abundantly, not just in this past year 2008, but ever since our family began just over 6 years ago. We can't begin to thank you enough for your love, your support, your prayers, your letters, emails and phone calls. Despite the miles in between, we feel the closeness of our families and friends in Christ, and we love you.

May this next year be one that is full of joy, full of new beginnings, full of surprises, and full of expectations of all that Our Father can and will do FOR you and with you. May you seek Him daily and grow ever more delighted in Him.

Our Blessings to you and yours!

Much Love,

Apostle Daryle, Sheila, David, Ma-lak, Rea, Ni'ke and Ya'shar Smith

Sheila,
I will do my best to help answer your blog questions.

Your first question (pics of things besides my own personal pictures) I googled the item and saved the picture I found. For example, the gatorade bottle...I google gatorade, and when I found the picture I wanted I right clicked on it, and saved it to my computer (you can save it anywhere; picture folder, desktop, etc.) and then I uploaded it on blogger just like you would your other pictures.

Your other question about how to get them to post bigger; on the window that pops up after you click on the "add image" icon on the, on the right side of that window there is a title "Image size" and gives 3 sizes - small, medium, or large. I post most of my pictures as large.

I hope this helps. If it doesn't work or if my directions were confusing let me know. Good luck! :o)
