Picture this:

Can you guess what's between Jake's legs?

Here's a closer look:





That's right! It used to be a pacifier. Our dogs don't normally tear things up but this it the second pacifier that has been destroyed in a week. Maybe he's desperately trying to get some more attention?

Feeling crafty

Check out the diaper cake I made for a co-worker's baby shower. I think it turned out pretty cute! The "W" stands for "Will" which is what she'll be naming her little boy. Now I know who to hand-me down and "Will" monogrammed stuff to - not like we'll use that name again! I love doing stuff like this but I had to wait until a wee person went to bed. He would have loved to help me I'm sure. Sorry for the blurry pics!

Praying for Harper

Check out www.kellyskornerblog.com and read about and pray for Harper and her family. She had difficulty breathing after birth and has sever pneumonia. I can't imagine having my full term baby whisked away to a NICU in another state right after birth and not being able to hold her. Pray that Harper will make a full recovery and that her parents can bring her home soon.

9 month pictures!

Will's 9 month pics are up and I think this was the best session yet! If you've got some time to kill, check them out. If you have extra time to kill, click on the 'portfolio' link on the left of the screen and then 'sharp 10/26' toward the top of the list to see his 6 month session. I didn't share those because they were Christmas gifts and didn't want to ruin the suprise.

Magdalena

I do not know the Roberts family personally, but I have been reading about their precious baby since right before she was born. She went to be with Jesus this morning and I can't imagine the heartache her parents are feeling. Please pray for them.

Fun with Uncle Sam

Making funny faces
Blowing on his fingers

Checking out what's going on outside

Will likes his Uncle Sam. They had lots of fun together. It's too bad we live 3 hours away or they could hang out more often.

Blessed

Yesterday I went to the grocery and came out nearly $200 poorer, nearly half being for baby items. It was pouring rain and I was aggrivated because I didn't have my umbrella and I had to walk around cars stopping to pick people up at the door. But as I got to my vehicle, I realized I should not be grumbling about this experience. I should be thanking God for being so blessed. I am blessed because I have money to buy groceries with. I have a husband who I adore at home watching our precious baby while I shop. I have a baby to buy formula and diapers and veggie puffs for. I have a vehicle to drive and a house to drive it to. There are so many people around the world hurting because they're homeless, jobless, infertile, lonely and/or broke. And I'm grumbling because of a little rain got my clean clothes and brand name shoes wet. And the best part of all is that I know Jesus. He can take away all my hurt and pain and shame. So many people don't know Him and may never hear the gospel in their lifetime or may reject Him. Do you know Jesus? Are you blessed?
