baby it's march outside...

what a strange warm winter and early spring we've had. last year we had a lot of snow and this year only a couple dustings or flurries. the weather has allowed us to be outside on the weekends quite often as a family and we are thankful.

"Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." Ephesians 5:19b (NIV)

spring time in st. louis

we managed to sneak in another quick trip to st. louis. it never seems long enough to see everyone and spend adequate time with all our family and friends. cameron loved being there again and didn't want to leave. he cried on the way home wanting to go back to see everyone but once he was home he was very happy and slept great! here are some photos from our time in st. lou...

cameron made a "snow plow" with our car & a snow shovel

running around the yard with ohnie

"For the Word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Hebrews 4:12 (NIV)

busy boy...

it's march and we're still here...waiting for e.b. and enjoying our time with cameron.

writing checks...

march car show...

peeking out of a "repair" truck! (dodge ram!!!)

cameron calls this a "monster truck!"

wow! a tow truck!

(is this mater?)

"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich." 2 Corinthians 8:9 (NIV)

sick day...

our little guy has been under the weather this past week. he is still on the mend but we finally got out of the house together. it's hard to tell in these photos but he's been on the grouchy side. after our outing he was wiped out and skipped lunch choosing instead to go straight to nap about an hour earlier than usual.

pumping air into the stroller tires!

swinging

stopping by the local firehouse

(the firemen even let cameron sit in the driver's seat!)

"I lift my eyes to the hills--where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." Psalm 121:1-2 (NIV)

a picture is worth...

oh so much!!! we are loving our newest photo of e.b.!

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"

2 Corinthians 5:17

recent cameron pictures...

no new news here...just busy times.

enthralled with his polar express train

(thank you to some dear friends!!!)

figuring out the sounds on the remote

ringing in the new year with snacks

(well, he stayed up till 7:15 pm!)

this is cameron's "happy face"

this is cameron's "surprised face"

this is cameron's "sad face"

(looks very similar to his "happy face" -- ha ha ha!)

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Jesus Christ." I Thessalonians 5:16

2 years ago today...

we first saw his face...

and knew in our hearts he was our child!

thanking the Lord for you daily, sweet boy.

we love you so.

"But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love, and faithfulness." Psalm 86:15
