my favorite soundtrack

Noah is laughing more and more every day, and we are loving every single second of it.

Today we caught him doing a new laugh, and luckily had an i device near by to record it!

There is no doubt that my favorite soundtrack is one the one that accompanies our life.

Thank you Lord for giving us such great joy through our son.

Ahhh…life is so, so fun.

(By the way – if you are a record label looking to sign me due to my awesome singing ability, please don’t bother…I already have a career that I throughly enjoy!)

This is why I have a hard time getting anything done

Without a doubt the last three months have been the best months of my life.

I could never stop writing about all of the ways God has shown amazing grace toward me.

The last few years I have been overwhelmed with that reality.

A ‘beary’ good day

It was an awesome day in Dallas today so our family decided to hang out at Lakeside Park (aka – ‘Beary Park.’)

If you live around Dallas you should defiantly check it out. The park has these really cool bears all around.

Not to mention the park is surrounded by the craziest houses you’ve ever seen. (We saw a house today that had huge statues in their back yard of what looked very much like The Beatles…! Really…..)

Life is fun. We are blessed. God is way, way, way to good to a dummy like me!

3 months of awesomeness

It’s hard to believe it’s been three months since God blessed us with this little guy.

Today we celebrate his three month birthday, and without a doubt it’s been the most fun, awesome, and picture taking three weeks of our entire lives!

I’m Begging God for many more days/weeks/months/years of awesomeness! :)

Glow Worms make good sidekicks

Snapped this last night as Noah was going to sleep.

He (and we) are a big fan of Mr. Glow Worm. :)

I love the heck out of this little guy.

Being a dad is seriously the coolest, most fun thing God’s every allowed me to do!

Sorry iPad 2, you have met your match

Dear iPad 2. Normally I’d be waiting in line at some Apple store somewhere so that I could be the first to droll all over you, but not this year.

It was hard work getting this shot!

Noah is 12 weeks today, and he is starting to give us some of the most awesomest grins ever!

The problem is they sort of sneak up on us, so they have been hard to get on camera, but today for his 12 week birthday he decided to to give us a few very special gifts – some of those cute little 12-week-old grins!

I’ve said this a thousand times the last 12 weeks, and I’ll say it a thousand more – being a dad is A-M-A-Z-A-I-N-G….!!!

(Noah, thanks for making my life a trillion times more awesome that I could have ever dreamed!)

disability doesn’t mean disabled.

I ran across this video on Kelle Hampton’s blog. It was put together by Erica Hill Studio and I think they did a great job showing how “disability” doesn’t mean the same as “disabled.”

Noah hates grover!

my sentiments exactly

I’m typing this at 12:30 in the morning. Everyone is asleep. Except me.

In the next 12 hours I’m preaching a sermon in a semianry class, taking an exam in my Hebrew class, and having a lunch meeting with one of the professors….and tonight is shaping up to be an all nighter!

So to my son Noah, (pictured above), my sentiments exactly….!
