A Profound Thought...

Unger's Bible Dictionary says,

"God's blessing is accompanied with

that virtue which renders His blessing effectual..."

Gavin's Baptism!

"I love Jesus with all my heart!" "For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives."

Romans 6:4 NLT

Nothing Better to Do..?

Bryan and I were up late last night "Simpsonizing" our family! It was quite funny! You can try it at www.simpsonizeme.com. Obviously, this is me and our cat, Smudge! Hee hee!

Go, Mariners!

We went to a Mariners game a few weeks ago with Bryan's parents. As you can see, the boys made "Rally Fry" signs! Unfortunately, they didn't win the fries. There was a cute little baby a few rows over, with a crazy elaborate sign, (that took 3-4 adults to hold it up!) that won. (Whatever. Did that baby make his own sign like my boys did? I think NOT!) So, as the mom, I'm a little biased. I was very proud of how hard they worked on their signs...all by themselves! (Clearly. Ha!) We all had a fun time riding the train, cheering on the M's, and eating junk food! (OK. I take that back...I got REALLY motion sick on the train ride home. But other than that, it was a fun time!)

Gavin's 8th Birthday!!

Children

I thought one day

I would be a famous artist

and create great works of art.

Instead, God made me a mother,

And my children are His masterpiece.

The design of their lives

Will live on after me.

What is painted on their hearts

Will last an eternity.

Thank you, my love, for a wonderful evening
