A Prayer for August

May you be filled with Peace, Patience, Power, & Purpose; a Pleasure to all.

for Jesus said:
"Blessed are the Peacemakers for they shall be called the Children of God" Matthew 5:9

This is the prayer my MIL has for August. She has a special prayer and scripture for each of the boys. Each prayer is unique and I anticipated her prayer the moment I knew I was pregnant. If you know my MIL you know she is a sweet, Godly woman...I often joke she is God's favorite.

I'm thankful Ollie, Otto & August have Godly grandparents and great-grandparents who pray for them daily.

The Season of Lent

I'll be following the daily readings for lent here. I'm looking forward to the time of the preparation to celebrate God’s redemption at Easter.

we're home!

everyone is great...otto is a little confused about who this new baby is, but he did give him a little kiss on the head...more pictures later

We praise God for giving us this bundle of happy! Mom and baby are doing well and are both getting plenty of sleep.

this extremely harsh and overly generalized theory is pure gold genius...shaun groves penned this greatness...i might have tried to work in the correlation between high school hotness and current affinty for nickelback...but the simplicity of the graph is pretty hard to argue with
