“THE PROCESS IS THE END. FOR IT IS THE PROCESS THAT IS GLORIFYING TO GOD.” --Oswald Chambers

"This life therefore, is not godliness but the process of becoming godly, not health but getting well, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not now what we shall be, but we are on the way. The process is not yet finished, but it is actively going on. This is not the goal, but it is the right road. At present, everything does not gleam and sparkle, but everything is being cleansed." --Martin Luther

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HENRY!!

Our littlest buddy turned one on Friday!! Time goes so fast, especially this past year. We finally got the package from Brian’s mom with the frosting Brian loves, so I made German Chocolate Bday cake with coconut pecan frosting, which we enjoyed with strawberry ice cream. Paul and Lori came up as it is Paul’s favorite cake too. I tell you, a 9x 13 cake isn’t big enough anymore. Okay, it is, but I’ve always been a 2 piece cake girl, so when everyone doesn’t get two pieces…at least mom and dad do!!

Things are going pretty well with the transition to crib life for Henry. He cries every time I lay him down, but then falls asleep. I haven’t had to get up at night and lay with him all week. I was down to nursing him twice a day, and am now transitioning to once a day. He is doing okay with that. Misses it of course, so we snuggle more often.

Here are a few birthday pics. Our kids never were the messy cake eaters. I remember with one of the kids we just smeared some on their face to get the good birthday pic. Henry ate his cake so nice and neat, hardly any mess at all.
