3 Months

I stopped by one of my logging jobs and introduced Sawyer to a "toy"!

His new accomplishment is to hold his head up while on his tummy.

After a long day at Pop and Mim's farm Sawyer had to get in the recliner and take a snooze.

Father's Day 2009

It was great to spend Father's Day with my Daddy and my son. I am so very thankful that my heavenly Father has blessed me with a Godly man as my Daddy and I pray that I am the same for Sawyer. As you reflect on your earthly father today, whether he is here or has already passed, take time to remember the FATHER! He alone is worthy of our praise and adoration. I know that as we skim these blogs we can sometimes be in a hurry, but I ask that you take just a few minutes to follow the link below and listen to the song, How Deep the Father's Love. I dare you... try to keep dry eyes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjD0lv8hx5o Below are some pictures from my first Father's Day!

It was 98 degrees here in AL so we hung out in our pool! (Our neighbors with real swimming pools were so jealous!)

Just chillin!

Yes, even the girls had to get in and cool off after Sawyer and I played.

Reminiscing Peru

At this time last year we were high in the Andes Mountains of Peru teaching conversational english and sharing with the people of Chiquian, Peru about the saving Grace of Jesus. Below are a few pictures from that experience.

I Found It !!!

Sawyer found his thumb today. The only stipulation he has is that the left hand must be holding hair.
