Conversations
While visiting family in FL, BA asked this question after a shopping trip to Wal-Mart:
"Mom, can we take this Walmart home with us or not?"
And of course I told him we couldn't...it wouldn't fit in our van! LOL!

We're Expecting!
That's right! We are awaiting the arrival of our son! I know what you may be thinking...how do you know it's a son already? After much prayer and consideration, we have answered God's call to adopt an infant boy from Rwanda, Africa. We have been approved to adopt through America World Adoption Association- a non-profit, Christian organization. We covet your prayers as we journey through this exciting, yet sometimes overwhelming paperwork that international adoption requires.

Household Baptism
For the past two or three days I have been letting BA get in CJ's crib for a few minutes after CJ wakes from his nap. There have been some pretty cute play times going on in there. Yesterday's play time was just flat out hilarious. I could hardly believe my ears. Here's what BA told CJ:
BA: CJ, you have to lay down in the water when you get baptized. (He demonstrates.) Now, CJ, I am going to hold your neck. (He pulls CJ down on to the mattress). Mom, I baptized CJ in the pond. (Note: CJ's bedding has fish swimming in the water, so to BA, I guess that made his bed a pond.)
It was all I could do to keep from laughing at this...because of course I had to tell BA that he couldn't pull his lil' brother down by the neck. But it was hilarious! I had to keep BA from randomly walking up to brother to baptize him for the rest of the day. What a kiddo!

*On the back, write the following message: "This envelope represents one child who died because of an abortion. It is empty because the life that was taken is now unable to be a part of our world."
