Birthday :)

I know, I have been a terrible blogger lately!! I'm sorry! I do have some great pictures to show you from Hudson's birthday party, though. We had a great time. It was a train "theme" - he loves to hear the train coming, so I thought it would be appropriate :) The cake was amazing - one of my friends from the school I taught at made it for us. Everyone raved about it. We also had a mini waterpark outside (I don't have those pictures yet) and the kids had fun splashing around out there with all the water toys. :)
We had a great time with our friends and family. It is a blessing to have events like this because you are lucky enough to have a lot of the dearest people in your life in one place. We missed those of you who couldn't make it!

Birthday pic's are on the way, and pics of our friends the Links coming to visit, but until then..Check out this video. Wow! Jesus really does love us and want us to believe in Him and trust Him with our lives. It's not just something we sing about in nursery as a child or in youth group as a teenager... it's TRUE. He longs to spend time with us, carry our burdens, erase all the terrible sins we've done and still do, and be our source of comfort, protection, love. We don't need anyone else in our lives but Him. He desires ME. Wow, how can he love ME? Hard to grasp, but TRUE. Powerful video. Please watch and be moved by Christ's love for you.
