Thankful

This morning as I was listening to our sermon, I kept thinking about how special and thankful that I was to have this special little guy as my son. It's hard to believe that this outgoing toddler was once a shy baby that would never let us out of his sight. Relying on faith has helped us get through the easy....and the not so easy times. Our pastor focused on keeping faith as part of your every day practice and I totally agree that with faith you can move mountains and work wonders. My hopes is that this sweet little angel will always have faith in everything that he does and hold God close to his heart in all of his dreams and journeys in life. Owen LOVES these peanut butter eggs. We got them from a local church here in K-ville (there is an article in the Our State magazine about these eggs). He is so cute....he says church eggs....MORE! ha!
My mom's birthday was April 2, we celebrated it on April 1....what a blessing it was so celebrate her birthday. This is about the best pic we could get...he is sooo busy!!! Owen's favorite...peanut butter and jelly and cheese balls...YUM! A lot of times we will both have a PB and J and he just loves it!! I think it makes him feel special that we both are having the same lunch! ha! A child is sunshine and moonbeams and more brightening your world as never before.
Children are a sweet new blossom of humanity.
Potty training ...we told him that Thomas goes to potty and he ran and got Thomas and got on the potty....wow....amazing how the small things make things work....
Children are a handful sometimes, a heart full all the time
Children are such a beautiful way to start life...he is such a happy boy!!! He loves cupcakes!
Tacky cupcakes for mom's birthday!
A child will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for...
I pray that Owen has faith in every situation that he encounters in his life. I hope that he understands the importance of faith and has a strong relationship with God. The sermon today really touched my heart on not loosing faith in anything in your life and believing in what you can't see....that's faith! Owen we love you so much and you have brought is so much happiness and joy in our lives. We love your sweet smile, beautiful personality, and even at 2, you express love for your church, God, and the Bible. Such a sweet way to start life!
