We're a Family of 6!

About a month ago, we went from being a family 5 to a family of 6.  The newest member of our family is a 16 year old high school student named Jerry.  He's a great kid and we love him a lot. 

We've been learning lots of new things from each other.  For example...

  Sarah is learning to box and...

Jerry is learning to play in the ocean.

Jerry is a gift to our family and we are so thankful that God made a home for him here with us.  It is our prayer that Jerry will continue to pursue a home for his heart with Jesus.  
"Sing to God, sing praise to his name, extol him who rides on the clouds - his name is the Lord - and rejoice before him.  A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling."  (Psalm 68:4-5)
All four Cobb kids on Easter morning!

As if I weren't a mess already ~ man! I love it....I love Jerry! I share your prayer for "a home for his heart with Jesus." Only He will complete that fine young man and bring wholeness to a broken life. I love your family, all 6......but you already know that! ;) I look forward to many memories as his Tio & Tia!

What's the story behind new family member Jerry, if I may ask? I hadn't heard anything about this elsewhere, i.e: from the relatives.
