This little guy...

...makes me so happy.

(I was dangling a candy cane above his head and laughing

as he stared, mesmerized by it.)

He is such a sweet baby. I adore him. 

(Don't tell that to my other siblings. They might get jealous...;)

He is so bright-eyed and excitable. He'll sit and grin for several minutes,

then start loudly 'talking' to you.

He loves my younger sister's soft ducky stuffed animal. He'll sit and chew on it.

(Poor Ducky. Covered in slobber...)

Giveaway

My friend, the wonderful Eva Bralitano, is giving away a bracelet. A blog entry gets you two entries - so, I blogged about it! :) You should enter too.

Methodist Temple Winter Retreat, 2011

This past weekend, my church, along with two others, got together for a spiritual retreat.

The girls from TTP! :)

It was - well, amazing.

 

Life-changing. 

Me with one of my favorite sixth graders - Kenli! :)

 Overwhelming.

Me with Emma and Kenli

God's love just... exploded and drenched everybody there.

The lake

I made lots of new friends...

And got to know old friends better.

Amy and Christina! (:

It was a great weekend.
