Getting Big

This week...Justus has tasted his first lemon
It took 3 sleepless nights, but his first tooth has finally broken through!
And he learned to say the letter d. Daddy is going to feel special to hear "da da da da" greet him when he gets home next week!

Dedication

Justus, this morning we stood before the church and declared that we would raise you to walk in the faith of your family. We desire to remain humble and dependent on the Lord in order that He may use us to point you to Him. I know we will fail at times, but I pray the Lord's grace will reign over this household so that His strength will prevail even in the midst of your parent's weakness. We prayed this morning and will continue to pray that you will come to faith in Christ knowing that He alone will bring you joy, contentment, and life. We love you buddy.
(the verse we are praying over you)

the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might
Ephesians 1:17-19

He's Arrived!!!

We can't wait for you all to meet him!

As Promised

I promised these pictures a while ago. I know my sisters are really wondering about the whole animal head thing on the wall, so here is the nursery. Now, we just need a baby to put into it!!! =)

What do you think???

The pink lampshade is going and will hopefully be replaced by a blue one. Picture a bear rug in the center of the floor and an animal head on the wall and you have the completed nursery.
What do you think???
