HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!!!

Happy Birthday!
We love this man so much because he is a great father and husband.

I couldn't find a recent picture of just David by himself but the girls add a cute touch.
We took this on Amanda's first day of school.

I love Fall

Amanda has been asking for weeks when there would be enough leaves to jump into. So, the winds came and blew the trees and soon our yard was covered with fall leaves.

Holy...Neighbor, Batman

"The Load, or weight, or burden of my neighbor's glory should be laid on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it...It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship...It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all plays, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal...Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses."

-C.S. Lewis Quoted in "Lawyers and the Atonement" by Thomas B. Griffith. Life in the Law, 2004, 238.
