Update

I am just as bad as 90% of the bloggers out there with updating regularly. Here are some pictures for those of you not on Facebook...

I have so enjoyed being home with her. I wish I could do it all the time. She is crawling (a really weird one foot, one knee crawl) and pulling up on everything. She is a mess! But a very very cute mess. I love her more and more every single day. I was thinking this last week about God's relationship with us. People always use the analogy of, "Well think about your own child... could you send them to die a horrible death for someone else" and the answer is of course not. But I was thinking about a question I have had for a while now, about why God still has hope in us after so many years of denial. I always wondered why he didn't just wipe the earth and start new with a new race of people. I don't mean like with the flood... I mean completely start new. New Eden, new Adam and Eve, new everything, and maybe the next group wouldn't mess up so badly. Not until Blakely had I realized why he didn't do that. We are his children. He seems so far away, that it's hard to grasp that concept to me. If you had a child that screwed up, big time, you wouldn't kill them off. Most parents would stick by their children no matter what the circumstance. Now, I have to think that God is the most amazing father there could ever be, so of course he would do anything to save his children. Now that I have Blakely, I understand why he didn't "start over". You love them so unconditionally, with so much grace (Blakely could do little wrong in our eyes), and nothing they ever did would make that love go away. Nothing we ever do will make God give up on us.

Anywho... nap time is over, so I better get going! Love you all!!
