planet earth...


Since I'm so fascinated with animals & the sounds they make right now, is it any wonder that I LOVE to watch parts of the "Planet Earth" DVD series?? (you should hear the sounds I can make when it's on!)


Let's just say I REALLY get into it sometimes...


Pretty cool stuff, Mom.


Oh, and I literally "hit" a not-so-good milestone yesterday... I tripped on the pavement outside and got my first fat lip. :( (don't know if you can tell, but my top lip swelled up and I've got little scratches above & below my mouth) It just about broke Mommy & Daddy's heart, but it's all feeling much better today.

oh, i get it...


Mama's keys are used to open doors...


Clothes that are too small go in the bin...


Clean dishes go in the cabinet...


and special occasion photo-shoots ALWAYS call for toddler meltdowns... :)

celebration...


For those of you who have been keeping up with our blog & remember the dramatic adoption situation with our friend Ann Marie last week, we are SO happy to report that today at 5:00pm, baby Spencer officially became adopted into his new loving family!!!

Over the past week, Ann Marie and Spencer's birthmommy Megan have shared some beautiful conversations about their fears and hopes, and all of the events of the past week have only helped them to better communicate their feelings to one another. Ann Marie helped their birthmommy Megan understand that she is now like family to them, and we are excited to see that relationship continue to sweeten.

Of course we can still continue to pray for their birthmommy Megan-- that the Lord would comfort her and show her what an incredible, sacrificial thing she has done for her son and for this family. Ann Marie wanted to thank all of YOU who have been asking about and praying for them throughout this time-- they are "humbled and encouraged" that so many people in the body of Christ have been loving them well and lifting them up in prayer. (even people they've never met)

In fact, tonight they're having a party!


Spencer, sorry we can't be there to party with you, but I hope you'll enjoy a drink on me! ha! :)

easter take 2...

Last Easter:

I slept most of the time.

This Easter:

I was wide awake!

Last Easter:

We couldn't get a decent family pic because I wanted to sleep.

This Easter:

We STILL couldn't get a decent family pic because I wanted to look down. :)

Last Easter:

Mama held me close with lots of love.

This Easter:

Nothing's changed.

shirts...


Check out our first ever RUF Lynchburg t-shirt hot off the presses! On the front is a sketch of a local joint found only in Lynchburg, the Texas Inn. (no, we did not choose this because Mommy & Daddy just moved from Texas...) It's one of those "greasy spoon" places that without it, it just wouldn't be your town!


On the back: "Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in." -- Mark Twain


Okay-- enough of the modeling-- I'm outta here!


Oh, and speaking of RUF, guess who was the newest member of the worship team tonight? :)


Huh! I've been seeing alot of these around lately! Funny I'd find one here... oh, what'd you say? It's a "shaker"?


Well, I don't care. Can I have it?

And you can bet your last penny,


I'll have you smiling the whole time.
