1st Trip to the Zoo

We went to the zoo the day after New Years since John had some time off. Joshua loved it. I could tell he recognized many of the animals from his books and Baby Einstein DVD. It was actually hard to get good pics because he was moving around so much due to his excitement.

This was the first of many trips I am sure!

1st Haircut

Joshua got his first haircut the week after Christmas. He did amazing! I was shocked at how well he did, no tears, no fits, nothing at all. He was such a trooper, though as you will see in these pictures he was clearly not happy.

Not even candy is making it better :-(

Attempting to get the "after" photo

Much better!

"Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain." Psalm 127:1

This is my statement of trust in the Lord to "build" our house. We acknowledge our complete dependence upon the Lord to build our family. We know His will is good, pleasing, and perfect (Rom 12:2) so we trust that whatever manner He chooses will be better than anything we could have planned for ourselves. We believe He is able to do "immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us," (Eph 3:20) and we desire for Him to receive all the glory. "Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts" Isa 26:8.

My Life Verses

"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners - of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen." 1 Tim 1:15-17

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light." 1 Peter 2:9

"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:2

"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
