We're a happy little family of 5 who have been blessed. God has given us each other, our family and friends, and most importantly, with His only son Jesus who died for us. Jesus was adopted by Joseph, don't ya' know!

Down from the Mountaintop
A low often results after a mountaintop experience. I'm feeling low down today. Part of this is that I am exhausted from lack of sleep at the retreat. I would have something more profound to say, but I'm profoundless. Goodnight.

Retreat!
I've spent the past three days in St. Louis, Missouri away from my sweet husband and son. I haven't been blogging very faithfully lately, obviously, and soon you'll know why. I also haven't checked my "readership" lately, so I don't know if anyone other than my friends and family read this bloogle. I am going to work on being a more faithful blogger and a less faithful television watcher.
I spent the weekend with 30 or so women who I've never met but I've known for 3 years. You can catch the link over yonder (see right), I've been a member of Hannah's Prayer since January of 2004. We spent the weekend studying God's word, laughing, crying, staying up too late, and eating a tremendous amount of snack foods and chocolate (mostly the latter).
Hannah's Prayer is an online Christian community of women who have experienced infertility, miscarriage, and child loss. Although it sounds quite sad, and of course these things are, it is really encouraging and humbling to share our tragedies and triumphs with one another. Being in the real-life presence of some of these women this weekend was like spending time with some of the women I've read about in the Bible. It was amazing, touching, and life-changing. I'm happy to be home, but also feeling that let down that happens after I've been looking forward to something for a long time.
John 15:5 "I am the vine, and you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit. Apart from me you can do nothing." I think writing is more fruitful than watching America's Next Top Model, don't you?
Love.

Baby's first piano playing
Today as I was playing the piano with Baby in my lap, he began to bang on the keys. He actually hit a few right notes in his banging. Coincidence? Hmmmm...
Babe has this weird camera thing. He'll be smiling along, and then see the camera and give his blank camera face. However, I caught him this time.
Happy Easter!

Busy!
I've been a terrible blogger lately! Life with a 5-month-old is pretty nuts. I promise to be a more exciting blogger in the future.
Baby's a big boy in his chair. (Well, Sarah and Emma's chair.)
