For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:13,14 (NIV)

Sweet Friends

This picture was too cute not to post. Juliana and Bekkah are really starting to recognize each other more often.

Onlookers

Here we have Juliana and her friend Bekkah observing Cow Pie Bingo:)

Cow Pie Bingo

Well tonight was a first for us. Young Life (in Cape Girardeau) holds a fundraiser for camp called Cow Pie Bingo. Tickets are sold for $10 and you have a chance to win dinner, movie tickets and babysitting if needed. There is a grid made out on paper with the ticket numbers that correlates with the pen the cow is in. Wherever the cow "does his business" lets you know who actually wins. We bought two tickets but the cow pooped too far north on the grid. Oh well, better luck next year!

First Mother's Day


Happy Mother's Day to all the moms! (Especially to our moms) We are only at the beginning of realizing how much our moms have done for us.........We are grateful.

7 months old!!!

Juliana is 7 months old today. Looks like she played a little too hard in the church nursery and needed to catch up on some sleep:)

Baby Dedication Day


Today was Parent and Child Dedication Day at our church. We look forward to what God has planned for Juliana's life!

Lunch date

Today we met Miss Betsy and Bekkah at Olive Garden to celebrate my mom turning 33!!

Party girl

Here is our little party girl. She was trying to catch some sleep so she could stay up the next night:)

33rd birthday

We spent this past weekend at a Young Life conference near Potosi, Missouri at Trout Lodge. It was a good time. This is where I (Jami) celebrated my 33rd birthday. This picture was taken at 7:30 am. We did not get much sleep during the night. I guess Juliana was excited about her mom's birthday and wanted to stay up all night long!! This is my first birthday as a mom and that is why I chose to hold Juliana instead of the cake:)
