LOOKING BACK AT 2023: LIFE IN FLORIDA!

In 2023, we relocated to Florida to follow where we believed the Lord wanted us to be. The year started out as something so unexpected, so new, and so very different from the life we were used to in Tennessee. The year was nothing short of amazing - We found an amazing home, made some wonderful friendships, branched out Paine Construction Co. with some new jobs, were blessed with a miracle pregnancy and our beautiful 6th child (Baby William), and it seems we’re only getting started.

It’s amazing what happens when we take steps in faith. It can be terrifying, paralyzing even, to leave behind the comfort of what we know and venture into uncharted waters - But God knows! He has been so incredibly faithful to us throughout this last year, no matter the season of life we were in.

Our editor put together these clips to share some of our most exciting moments, including some of our behind the scenes clips, to remind us just how exciting life in Florida has been - It truly has been and we’re so excited for what the Lord has in store for 2024!

Whatever this year looks like, we’re grateful to have you here along with us! Thank you for your encouragement, your comments, your kindness, and for following along with our family.

We truly are grateful for you and love you all!

Chad + Erin

    I just love your family. There's a lot of love in that home. It's wonderful for your children to grow up in a Christ centered home

    I just love your family ❤. Such a godly example of love for families, couples, siblings and friends to learn from. Every time I see Carson interact with one of his siblings my heart is just filled with joy because he is such kind, gentle and loving brother. He is modelling the example displayed by his amazing Dad on how to be a man after God’s own heart.
  • I love how you always keep Christ first in your lives, no matter what you're going through you still find something to be thankful for.🙏

    My husband and I have a YouTube channel and have been so blessed by the comments of lovely people who subscribe. It dawned on me that I have never expressed my gratitude to you for your beautiful videos! I have loved watching the adventures of your sweet family for some time now. We share your values and commitment to Jesus Christ. You rafiate His light. God bless you and your beautiful family, and again., Thank you.

    Your little growing family just blesses my heart! It's so refreshing to see the joy on the children's faces when they are helping with chores & especially Carson's reaction to when y'all did the scavenger hunt to find out y'all were pregnant. His reaction was precious & perfect! Not to mention when William came home to meet them! Thank you for a year of sharing your family. May the Lord continue to bless your family with many unexpected surprises.

    Tears. This so reminds me of my little family when my 5 were babies. My youngest is now 10 and I can’t believe those days of having babies is over. Teens are now in their place and my heart aches for those littles once again. A smile always comes when I think of the grandchildren I will have one day and whom I already love ❤️
  • @cathydavis7041
    I still can't get over how much your daughters look like your sisters. Time flies, cherish every moment.
  • @genv8428
    Awe, I remember each one of those video clips. The best by far is still Carson finding out his prayers were answered for his baby brother. They'll always have a special bond because of that. ❤ Love your family so much, you're such an inspiration.
