In light of eternity, our lives appear as brief moments. Yet we cannot comprehend the loving care God has for every single second of these lives. My hope is to give you a window into His love, joy and strength found in our ordinary days.

Birthday Partyin'

Who knew it was so much fun to turn 3?  You are looking at one very excited little boy.  Just look at all of those presents!
 We kept things simple this year, since Blake, Grandma and I were leaving the next day for a trip to Florida.  But I wanted him to know it was a special day, so he woke up to find a few birthday decorations around the house.

Age three has ushered in a fire truck obsession for Blake.  He had so much fun helping me make the cake.
We had a VIP guest list of Grandmas.  Even Grammy was able to Skype in from Washington State!
 Stopping at our favorite local pizza place for dinner.
And the birthday excitement begins to overtake his brain!
 Finally.  It's cake time!
 His only request was for a fire truck :)
 Mmmmm....yummy.
 Telling Grammy thank you for Curious George!
Being silly with Mamaw.
I am so happy to have a three year old around.  He is such a helpful little boy!  He knows he is growing up too, but he's sure to remind me he's not big yet.  "I'm still little, Mom.  You can pick me up."  He's been full of love and cuddles lately and we are treasuring this age, and all of the funny things he says.  Three is going to be a good year!

  1. You are raising such a fine little man. I love his sense of humor, his delight at the small things and his wonder of the bigger things of life. Such a kind and smart little boy... such a precious treasure :) ~ Love you tons and bunches! ~ Bev
