The Shepherds: September 2011

Quotable Quote

" I bend to sweep crumbs and I bend to wipe vomit and I bend to pick up
little ones and wipe away tears... And at the end of these days I bend next to
the bed and I ask only that I could bend more, bend lower. Because I serve a
Savior who came to be a servant. He lived bent low. And bent down here is where I see His face. And people say, “Don’t you get tired?” and yes, I do. But I’m face to face with Jesus in the dirt, and the more I bend the harder and better and fuller this life gets. And sure, we are tired, but oh we are happy. Because bent down low is where we find fullness
of Joy.” ― Katie J.Davis

Jesse's 1st Birthday

So it's come and gone. My baby's first birthday! I can't believe he is now 13 months old. His favorite things to do are pull pans from the cupboard, pull hazardous cleaning products from the cupboard, scream at the top of his lungs for attention, and give "loves" to his favorite people (i,e mom and mom).

I was trying to balance a video camera and digital camera at the same time so I wasn't able to capture any still shots of Breck and Ava. Ava got a vampire face and Breck got spiderman or superman or some other man. I can't remember. Gracie was dead set on getting a snow leopard in pink, blue and white. She was the first one in line. I think it turned out cute.

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped celebrate. I honestly don't remember if I sent thank you cards or not. My brain hurts!
