My Baby Turned Five Today

Today, we've been celebrating..it's Jude's fifth birthday! We'll celebrate again with our family on Mother's Day..Jeanie's birthday is that day also. Come to think of it, we'll probably celebrate Lesh's, Jeff's and my birthday that day also! Lots of May birthdays in our family! :)



Jude has brought so much joy and fun into our lives. His laugh is wonderful and his smile lights up any room. He also builds patience in me..if you know Jude, you know what I'm talking about! He is witty, enthusiastic, and LOVES to rough house. Many bear the scars of playing with Jude. ;) He is also a sensitive soul..and has a beautiful singing voice. He still loves to snuggle with me (at least for a few moments) and his favorite thing to do is to pull Lesh and I together for a group hug (which he refers to as a "crowd hug").


Wow..I wouldn't trade one moment with him. He enjoys relaxing in the evenings in Lesh's lap watching YouTube funny animal videos. He is a Jonah's favorite playmate and they are truly best friends.


Jude, this post is for you...thanks for bringing so much JOY to our family these past five years..we love you!!!

Hosanna! Salvation is here!!

Like many of you, we have sung "Hosanna" year after year around Palm Sunday or on Resurrection Sunday (Easter Sunday). We sang this version of Hosanna by Hillsong United in our worship service yesterday and Jean Guy shared background on the word "Hosanna" that we found here. Jean Guy didn't know it, but Alex had just shared nearly the same thing in Adult Class. :)



I am thankful that I can cry Hosanna in confidence and know that "Salvation is here!!"
