Heart on My Sleeve

Conversation

This is a conversation I overheard between Collin and Ava last night:

Ava talking about presents and her new favorite phrase:

Ava:  "Why, Cowwin?"

Collin:  "Because its Christmas, Ava"

Ava:  "Why?"

Collin:  "Because Christmas is love."

For no one . . . .

"For no one . . . Had quite such pleasant friends as mine, or loved them half as much as I did."

- Hilaire Belloc

Praising God

that Brad got baptised this weekend!  It was a beautful service at the beach right before sunset and we were joined by Dave, Kirsten and Wyatt.  Dave took some amazing pictures with Brad's cell phone, but we didn't know how to save them, and they are gone.  :(

I'm so glad I paid close attention - the image in my mind of my husband going under water and coming back up will stay in my head and heart forever.

Since I don't have any pictures to share, I thought I'd share this video with you all.  Again, I'm still waiting for the day that YouTube and Typepad get their act together so I can post the video directly here for you, but until then, this will have to do.  Check it out!  You'll be glad you did.

Check this out!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this stuff - I seriously need to meet this girl.  I can't wait to sit down for a bit and see where the "links" on her site take me.  And to quote this adorable artist:

"Sometimes 'right back where you started from' is right where you belong".

Kirsten, I know you're gonna love her.

My feel good for the day

is here.  My only complaint is that typepad does not [yet] support You Tube video posts. 

So, please check out Chri's blog and get a load of this.  Well worth a minute out of your day.

Music is powerful.

P.S.  Brooke, where are you?

Did you know?

Did you know that most millionaires read at least one non-fiction book per month?

I'm gonna start reading more.

Wow

I should save this one for Father's Day, but after seeing this link on Mamas Moon, I had to share.  I think I'll get off my chunky a*^ now and get some stuff done around here - its the least I can do after watching this team.  Take 3 minutes to watch this - and make sure you grab a tissue and turn your speaker up.
