Elijah’s First 12 Months in Pictures
Each of these was taken the first day of each month of his life (except for the first one of course!). Thanks to Missy for her persistence in getting these.
Jonah Said the Sweetest Thing
Last night as we came home from LIFE group Missy and I were discussing Elijah’s (our 11 month old) birthday party. At his party we are asking people to bring gifts for the local Children’s Hospital (All Childrens) and Jonah was listening to the details. He went into his room, got out his bin of […]
Lesson on Heaven by A Two Year Old
Jonah is one of the greatest theologians I know. I am talking about my two year old, not the prophet in the Old Testament. This morning I was getting him dressed to attend Bible class and the worship assembly (my attempt to stop calling that hour on Sunday “church”) and he asked if he was […]
Elijah is Crawling
It is really great to see your child crawl for the first time. Now Elijah isn’t full out crawling. His crawling is more like dragging himself across the room with just his right arm but it is a start! Missy refers to it as the soldier in the movie who lost an arm and a […]
All Twittered Out
After 50 tweets I have pretty much put all my best stuff out there 😉 Really, it is just one more thing I don’t have time for.
Jonah Teaches Me to Pray
I was praying with Jonah (our two year old) tonight and he taught me a valuable lesson on prayer. I was thanking God for everything from his mommy to his friends and then he spontaneously picked up right in the middle of it all, “Sanks you God for me-me…sanks you God for my play ground…sanks […]
Two Amazing Syllables
Elijah is really making some milestones these days. He turned seven months old a few weeks ago and it looks like he is about to start crawling. He took one bold crawl the other day of a couple of inches but that is about it so far. He has also started saying some things that […]
God Lessons from Elijah (7 months)
I was feeding Elijah dinner yesterday. I kept noticing that when I tried to give him food he would just ignore me but if I took it away he would start opening his mouth and wave his arms around. He did this four or five times and I finally asked him, “What is it that […]
How Do You Follow Blogs?
I am really curious how you guys follow the blogs you read. I doubt very many people do without some kind of RSS/feed reader. When I first started blogging I remember going to the blogs I liked over and over and not seeing any new content. That got old really fast. Fortunately some really smart, […]
When Our Kids Teach Us About God
Today Jonah, our two year old, shed some light on why God doesn’t always give us the things we really want. Missy had baked some cupcakes and he really wanted one. He threw a fit trying to get one so we didn’t let him have one until he calmed down and asked nicely. Then he […]
