Welcome....Here's a glimpse of our happenings!

The verses that have REALLY spoken to me (Sarah) lately....



"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." Matthew 7:24-25



Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. I Peter 5:8-9



From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.' Acts 17:26-28



May the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14



So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or to the left. Walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess. Deuteronomy 5:32-33



God, our God, will take care of the hidden things but the revealed things are our business. It's up to us and our children to attend to all the terms in this Revelation. Deuteronomy 29:29 (The Message)

About the Friesen's....

Ymmmm....Carrots....

One of Luke's Christmas gifts from his Grandma Koehn (my mom) was a food grinder as Luke is now old enough to begin vegetables. He's been eating cereal for over a month now.

First, I cooked the frozen carrots.

Then, I placed them in the food tray to freeze.

Then, Luke got to try some (not frozen, though). What do you think he thought of them?

I think it was the texture that was actually bothering him, not the taste. I finally mixed some with cereal, and that worked much better. The second night, the carrots were a little bit more of a hit. We told him, "Luke, you have to start with these vegetables to eventually be able to eat big boy food with Daddy." OH NO! What will he eat if he eats like Marc?
On a totally different note, we felt we must share this photo. Luke hasn't cried during his bath since he was a couple of weeks old. However, he still hasn't figured out the joys of bathing. So, when he does get a bath, we usually get this look -- not upset, but not happy either. Someday very soon, when he can sit up, we're sure he'll enjoy his bath with toys and all. In the meantime, we just chuckle when we see this face. And, as usual, the fingers are in the mouth. They must taste good or something.
