Revelation Song



This video includes scenes from Passion of The Christ.  If you have never seen it, I strongly recommend you do.  Truly gave me a much deeper anderstanding and appreciation of Jesus' death and resurrection.
Leaves me in complete awe...

Be sure to stop the music player at the bottom of this blog.

Caleb is 5!

How can my baby really be 5?  This year, Caleb had his first big birthday party.  For his 3rd and 4th birthdays, we kept things pretty low-key, and had very small family parties at home. This year, C asked to have a big party with "all of his friends".  We felt he was ready for it, so we agreed.  C ended up having his party at a local bounce house and C had the time of his life! It was so precious to watch him truly enjoy being the center of attention! It just warmed my heart through and through to watch him have so much fun!

Bashful but elated as his friends sang "Happy Birthday" to him- check out his sweaty head!

The Birthday Boy with his favorite thing... sugar!!!!

C with one of his best buds

The slides were sooooo much fun!

C with his other best bud

I think Andrew had a little bit too much bouncing :0)

Boy From Baby House 10

I've talked about this book on this blog before, but if you haven't read it, at least take a few minutes to watch this Dateline NBC presentation about it.  Andrew watched it with me and was riveted.  This is an incredible true story of a Russian orphan adopted by an American woman... there are so many miracles woven into this boy's story.   Check it out at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032600/
