San Diego

This last week I was in San Diego for a work conference. I learned sooooo much & look forward to putting it all to good use! Another bonus of the trip is that I got to spend a whole afternoon & evening with Amy. We ate a lot of yummy food & saw a lot of sights. The rest of the rest of the week was spent with some fabulous ladies from our district. We learned a lot, had a lot of fun, & ate a LOT of food! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves:

Happy Birthday, Jack!

Jack, We can't believe it's already been 2 years since we met you face to face! You are such a joy to us! We praise God for your fun-loving, energetic, and hilarious personality as well as your curious, cuddly, & sensitive side.

At 2 you love trains (choo choos), fire trucks, raisins, throwing things, Lucy, and any activity where you get to run & play.

You are a precious gift & we love you more than you know! Happy Birthday, Little Guy!

First Day of Preschool!

Jack had a great first day! He walked right in the room with his little lunchbox & started playing with toys. His teacher told us he didn't cry at all & he was a very happy boy all day. It did take him 40 minutes to fall asleep on his nap mat, but we weren't sure he would nap at all the first day, so we're pleased he still got an hour of sleep. We were both more emotional than we expected to be about our little guy starting "school", but he just seems so big lately & I think we're both realizing he's not a baby anymore. :o/ I guess that's parenthood! I'm so proud of our little man (who turns 2 tomorrow!!!)

Jack & Daddy at the Zoo

I know I post a lot of zoo pics, but we just love going to the zoo! Well, this week I was back at work, so John took Jack to the zoo & I got picture updates throughout the day.

Verses from Philippians

1:21: For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
2:1-11: If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
2:14-15: Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe.
3:7-8: But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ.
3:12-14:Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
