2 year pics...better late than never

I was going through our desk and found a CD with Molly's 2 year old pics on them.  So now she is 2.75 and I still have not printed one of the pictures from this session.  Oops!  They weren't my favorite pics of her, but they are still documenting her milestones, so I thought I would share...




It amazes me how much she has changed in just 8 months.  Wow.  Kids grow up too fast.

The church we've been attending has been doing a great series titled "Our Family Fights" and last Sunday was the seventh and final sermon.  Joel and I have really enjoyed this series, but especially this particular message "Fight to Send Your Kids Off the Right Way".

Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.  Children born to a young man are like sharp arrows in a warrior's hands.  Psalm 127:3-4 (NLT)

Of course we all view our children as a gift and a reward from God, but I never thought of Molly as an arrow.  He explained that it is our job to prepare them for adult life.  We can either warp and break a child or sharpen and strengthen a child.  He then gave us this quote:

"The me you see, is the me I will be." --Rev. Adrian Rogers

I'd never heard the quote before but I really like it!  I hope I can always see the good in my kiddos so I'm not hindering them from being their best!  Really this would apply to everyone I come into contact with.

Ok, done with my sermon.

Love, Jen
