Welcome Little Jonny Ignatius

My third nephew was born this morning at 12:15 AM. He is 6lbs15oz and 18 1/2 inches long, so he's a pretty little guy :) We took Mikey and Tommey over there this morning and they were so cute! I got to hold him for a good ten minutes and I can't even express the joy and love I felt! It is amazing the hold a baby has over you even when you haven't even met him yet! He is so special and so sweet. You will be able to see that in the pictures below :)

Jonny Ignatius!

Smell Spring In Everything!

This is my art work that I did with my nephews :) The picture is of Olaf from Frozen and I entitled it "Smell Spring In Everything"! Don't give up hope. Spring will come...someday :)

A Beautiful Prayer!

"Jesus, I’m very weak. I don’t have much to offer. In fact, too often I’ve been distant as I’ve followed you – and yet…behold, here I am, Lord. Take me and use me as you desire. Use me to make you known and loved, weak though I am. Help me to love you. Jesus, I see how gentle you are, and I trust you. I know that you know me better than I know myself. You know what I can take. I put myself completely into your hands. Use me to help you, weak though I am. You may not be able to do much with me…then again, I’ve seen you work miracles before. Do with me what you can. Behold, I believe. Help my unbelief. I trust in you."

-- Michael E. Gaitley, MIC, p. 193 

Snow!

It is very snowy outside! And I love it :)

You Are Beautiful

You are beautiful, just the way you are!
