Flow, O Mighty Holy River

Flow, O mighty holy river,
Flow in measure great and strong;
Hold not back Thy generous blessing,
Flood this desert with Thy song.

Parched and arid, hear the crying
Of Thy barren, broken church;
Bring revival to the dying,
Quench the aching of their thirst.

Once again, release Thy floodgate,
Shower heaven's fruitful touch;
'Til the earth, appeased, rejoicing,
Rings the message of Thy love.

The Baby's Kicking!

I went to sleeping smiling and woke up almost giggling! A most wonderful sensation is causing all the happiness--the baby is kicking me! It started Sunday night. I felt some movement in my tummy. I kind of dismissed it because I didn't want to get excited if it wasn't the real thing. But then it repeated itself last night and this morning. Everyone keeps telling me that the baby's movements will feel like a little flutter. Not so with this one! God must have taught the baby a few karate moves! Pow! Pow! That's why I've been laughing. This little one is really active and quite strong! It is such an amazing feeling. The Lord is so good to me. Thank you, Jesus!

Baby Blanket!

I finished my first little sewing project for the baby! I picked out this CUTE fleece pattern and handstitched around the edges! I'm so pleased with how it turned out!

Niece Logan's Birthday!

Our niece, Logan, turned 1 this past week! She is quite the little cutie-pie. Laramie and Curt had all the relatives and a few friends over to their workplace for a party on Saturday. Here are some pictures from the party.

I couldn't figure out how to rotate this picture, but isn't the cake cute? As you will see, the theme of the party was ladybugs.

Uncle Rob and Logan chatting before the festivities begin.

It's Grandma Colleen!

Mmmmm, ladybug tastes good!
