I'm learning

  • The side effects of Lupron are manageable
  • There is avoidable and unavoidable suffering in life
  • I can pound my fists upon God's chest-He's strong enough
  • My past and current suffering has meaning
  • The prayers of others are vital when I'm unable to pray
  • God hides little treasures beneath the desert sands
  • If God is everything, then I have everything I need

Happy Birthday!

My sweet nephew
It all started with a lullaby. Your nana and I heard it play at the hospital the moment you were born. We smiled, started to cry, and eagerly waited to meet you. Your mommy was recovering from surgery and your daddy wheeled you in a plastic baby container to the nursery. He stopped where Nana and I were and let us have a peek. You were healthy, beautiful, and big at 9lbs 2oz.!

So squeezable!

Your 1st Birthday

You love your Uncle B.
It has been so fun watching you grow and develop. You love watching Thomas the train, pushing trucks and cars, and jumping all around. You are so gentle and loving and have a hug or a leg cling for everyone you meet. You love to lay your head down on B.'s big shoulders, pat him, and are always reaching for him to pick you up. You love to sing "twinkle, twinkle" the "ABC" song and our hearts just melt when you mumble your way through"Jesus loves me." Jesus does love you and so do we. We are so blessed to be a part of your little world.
Happy Birthday...and many more!
