Snow!

Last weekend, we made another trip up to Shaver Lake, but this time it was with the whole family! Henry and Lorna came up, John and Janelle, and John's wonderful parents (who feel like family) Craig and Karen. Oh yeah, don't forget Ruddy and Addie! We had a great time hanging out and playing in the snow, but the best part for us was getting to go skiing and snowboarding! This is a real treat when you have a 7 1/2 month old. Henry and Lorna, Karen and Craig and Janelle watched Caleb for the morning while Matt, John and I hit the slopes! It was so fun to go so fast and be so reckless for a moment in time. I think Caleb had a great time with all his caregivers and came up to join us for lunch, at which time I ended my skiing and took over the watch. Here are some pictures from the weekend.

John and Janelle

Save The Date!

We will be dedicating Caleb to the Lord on April 19th at Calvary Chapel Atascadero at the 9 am service. We will be having a potluck at our house following the service. We would love it if you could attend!

We have two verses for Caleb, ones that have been a part of him since before he was born. The first one is written of Caleb from the Bible, over and over.
"...and he loved the Lord, the God of Israel, wholeheartedly." Joshua 14:14
We pray that our Caleb will walk in his footsteps.

This second one was given to me when I was pregnant. I realized that our children will most likely struggle a bit as we struggle. I tend to search through my own understanding before acknowledging and trusting the Lord. Our heart is that Caleb will seek out God first and foremost in his life.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5&6

And just so you don't forget what our little bundle of joy looks like, here's a picture:) Taken by our lovely Janelle Fulwyler, of course!
