Can Liam fit in the back window of the car? YES! (Riding on the ferry)

How crazy can we get Liam's hair? Pretty crazy! (More riding on the ferry!)

Brian and Alyssa's Wedding

Liam was trying to hide from the camera, but I was too smart for him!
Joe is always such a silly person
Liam talking to his "NinNin"
Liam and Mommy
The three of us...

So, we went to Brian and Alyssa's wedding yesterday. Or, at least, we tried to. When we got to the ferry, there was a 2 1/2 hour wait, so we tried driving around, which didn't get us there any faster. Ended up missing the ceremony...arriving 10 minutes after the reception had started. We were all pretty upset as we had been looking forward to the wedding for weeks. But at least we got to be there for a little bit and not fully miss the whole thing.

Jennifer in Simpson Land!

A Quote From A Friend

I was reading a web page of a dear friend, Gemma, when I came across this line she wrote (quoted verbatum):

Praise God for the times he brakes us down so he can build us up again the way he wants us to be without all the crap!

Very true!

King or Cripple

I just heard this song on the speakers behind me and it just blew me away with how much it is saying to me right now. The line "All that you give can sometimes rob my innocence" is what really blew me away. In the face of some stuff going on in life right now, it's really hitting home. God's blessings can be used in wrong ways, and our innocence can be lost. It's not the Gifter's fault, or the gift itself, but what is done with it. Hmmmm. Like free will? Definitely.

King or cripple,
What have I become?
Beneath these kingly robes,
There lies a fragile man
What made me a king can sometimes cripple
All that you give can sometimes rob my innocence

Why do you let us walk upon a cliff so steep,
When deep below the sea there lies a bed of gold?
And if this should be our battle place,
Don't let me fall
Don't let us fall

Keep me
Won't you keep me?
Keep me
Won't you keep me?

I'd love to hold the hand of one who healed the blind
And saw the leper run into the arms of love
And king or cripple, they were the same to you
You took a broken man and you treat him like a king

Keep me
Won't you keep me?
Keep me
Won't you keep me?

King or,
King or,
King or cripple?
You took a broken man and you treat him like a king
