Thanks Sam

Sam emailed me an adorable squirrel story. Look at Finnegan the squirrel.

My Hat(s)

Perfection in form of a hat. First, it is pink and black. Second, it has squirrels on it. Did I mention it was hand made? Well, it was. I must be super special because Rachel made not one but two custom hats! She is very creative and very talented. Thank you Rachel!

The "I" Phone

Isaac has learned to use the phone. I have no idea where he learned how to do this;) He picks up the phone, makes a noise and then smiles. It is pretty darn cute. Sorry the photos are turned. I don't know how to fix it and David is not home.

The Shack

I just finished the book The Shack.  The book was completely mind blowing.  It made the longings of my heart (I was unaware I had) cry out.   It showed me the ways I hold on to religion instead of Jesus.  I am completely baffled how to just "be" with God.  I could take conversations in this book and meditate on them for weeks.  Needless to say, you should read it.  

Today Is My Birthday

I had a really great day.  Thanks everybody for wishing me a good day!  I also enjoyed the gifts as well ;)  So far 26 is pretty good.

Adoption Rocks

Pretty much every adoption story is amazing, though bitter sweet.  Here are some links with amazing stories of people saying "yes, Lord use me".  The most recent just adopted twins last night!

Twins!

Downs!

Baby #1!

Behold

We went to the art museum and Kadin noticed someting in this painting. What he noticed made the painting the best painting in the whole gallery.




It seems this distinguished fellow depicted above also had a fondness of my favorite animal... the squirrel.
