Easter Strength

Si's first Easter brought his first bought of stomach bug and second round of ear infection. Not ideal, but as Matthew and I also got sick the day after Easter, we truly found strength in our Savior whom we had just celebrated. We've never all been sick at the same time, and while Matthew and I felt better 24 hours later, Silas is still going through something that we hope is just a lethargic complex from lack of calories. I lean on the Lord to guide my steps and decisions, and when I think about what He suffered for me, it makes our suffering insignificant.

Thank you Jesus for conquering the grave, so I don't have to wonder what happens after it.

The only time my little man has sat still for more than 10 minutes: the calm joy and sad slump of illness.

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote.

Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew
