Dishman Hills

We had our first Family of Five Hike up in the Dishman Hills on Saturday... what a blast!  Logan was hilarious and kept us more than entertained with his cute comments (I wish I had brought a notebook to write them all down!).  

Logan had more than enough energy and was still happy after 2.5 miles of hiking -  even with a case of ants-in-the-pants (literally) that had us stripping his pants off and smashing ants before they could bite.  The poor kid did get a few bites from the giant suckers that have given him a new dislike for the creatures (watch out ants - Logan is NOT AFRAID to smash you with his bare hands like a true man!).  

It felt so good to get outside during our beautiful weather this weekend and enjoy God's creation in it's raw form.  I think we may have a new family weekend habit!  

A Deer Sighting! Note the arrow in the above picture and Thad giving it a cute wave.

Logan checking out the deer too.

Some Good Ol' Fashion Air Guitar

Here is some good ol' air guitar to brighten your day...

True Love

Come close listen to the story
About a love more faithful than the morning
The Father gave His only Son just to save us

The earth was shaking in the dark
All creation felt the Fathers Broken Heart
Tears were filling Heaven's Eyes
The day that True Love died, the day that True Love died
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that True Love died, The day that True Love died

Search your heart you know you can't deny it
Come on, lose your life just so you can find it
The Father gave His only Son just to save us

The Earth was shaking in the dark
All creation felt The Fathers broken heart
Tears were filling Heaven's Eyes
The day that True Love died, the day that True Love died
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that True Love died, The day that True Love died

Now, Jesus is alive

Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Oh, He is alive
He rose again

When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that True Love died, The day that True Love died

Come close listen to the story

UPDATE -- Baby Gabe

YES!  He looks good!  The surgery went well for little Gabriel.  The doctor was surprised by the size of the muscle swelling, which means it must have been feeling pretty bad for the little guy.  But overall, the surgery was a success!

Gabriel has been eating and nursing since late last night and it looks like he is keeping the food down.  Thank you Lord!

The family is hoping to go home today, but may need to stay one more night for observation.  

Thank you all for your prayers, I know Barbi and Mo felt peace and were comforted through that stressful time.
