My blog is not normally too in depth. :) I don't know why - Maybe I just don't like to think that much. Anyways, last night when I was reading my Bible I ran into one of my favorite passages and thought that I'd share. It's John 8:48-59. My favorite part is at the end when Jesus is talking about Abraham. The Jews said that Jesus wasn't even 50 years old so how in the world could he have seen Abraham. Jesus says in verse 59 "I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am!". Wouldn't you just love to see the Jews faces when Jesus said that?!?
Sometimes Daniel just jokingly asks me what he should preach about. I always tell him the I Am's. It is kind of our running joke. He's never done it yet. One of the last times I went to church with my parents my Dad preached on some of the I Am's. I had to come home of course and tell Daniel that I my idea made a great sermon! :)
On the adoption front - Our agency got our life book and will start showing it when a birth mom meets our profile. I'm pretty excited!
My parents just left and I just realized I didn't take a single picture while they were here. Please accept my apologies for a photoless post!

Papa's birthday was the weekend we were in town! Happy Birthday Papa! I won't announce to the world how old you are... :)
Here is Luke with his loot from Nana and Papa's house.
We went ahead and went to Granny's on Christmas Eve. Lukas has so much fun with his cousins. He was still sick, but I thought that if I kept him busy he wouldn't think about it. Uncle Bobby and I took Luke, Makayla and Morganne to see the Tale of Desperaux on Christmas Eve. Luke had been coughing and it was making him throw up or get a nose bleed. We were sitting in the movie theater and he started coughing. I kept saying "Please don't throw up" over and over as I tried to get him out of the theater. He ended up having a nose bleed. We were a sight to see. Daniel, my dad, and my cousin Ryan were supposed to be coming to see a movie. When I walked out of the bathroom they were buying their tickets. Dad ended up taking Luke back to Granny's. So it wasn't such a great idea to take the sick kid to the movies.
Waiting for Santa!!
Christmas Day Luke woke up with a 105 degree fever. I was panicking. He saw that Santa brought the Screamin' Banshee that he wanted and he went straight into a lukewarm bath. His fever did end up breaking that morning. We took him to urgent care after we got back to Tulsa. He had ear infections in both ears and a sinus infection. Poor baby! He is such a trooper though.
Granny got Luke the new Thomas train track and movie. He has loved both. His bedroom was a train lover's paradise.
Playing in another Christmas present.
His new thing!
I woke him up taking this picture, but it was too cute! Sleeping with his had on Daddy's face.
Last night we had a birthday party for Jesus complete with cupcakes and ice cream! Luke loves birthday parties for that specific reason. So I figured if we had a party with cake and ice cream he might understand more that Christmas is Jesus' birthday.
After we had our cake and ice cream we went through FamilyLife's What God Wants for Christmas. Here is Luke looking in the mirror (since God wants us for Christmas) that was in box number 7. 
And here is the Sweet Boy with the completed nativity set!
We headed to Nana and Papa's at the beginning of the next week. I sure didn't take very many pictures while we were gone at Thanksgiving. Makayla and Luke have so much fun at Granny's house. Makayla is such a good cousin. We went to see Madagascar 2 with Kayla and Uncle Bobby. Luke liked the movie and is loving singing the Move It song.
We went to the park on Thanksgiving Day with my parents to take their Christmas card picture. Luke had to give the toys a try before we had Thanksgiving Dinner.
We came home and Luke and I headed back to Nana and Papa's the next weekend for Nana's 50th birthday! We had lunch with Sarah, Andrew and Avi Joy. Luke and I had to dash pretty quick to go and get our hair cut. He loves playing with Sarah and Avi Joy.
That night we took Nana out to dinner for her birthday. We took Luke to Rhema after that. Luke loved the bridge at Rhema. 
Check out our Spiderman!
We had snow at our house last week! Daniel did go and get his coat after this picture!
We went to our city's Christmas light display on Friday night. It wasn't as good as Rhema, but for our town it wasn't bad. It was lots of fun with Luke running in front of me and Daniel.
That night we headed to the Hometown Halloween in the town Mom and Dad live. We almost didn't make it. Luke took a late nap and was not wanting to wake up. He ended up having a really good time even though he didn't want to wear his costume - just his hat. It was a lot of fun. He got lots of candy. They had free pony rides and blow up games.
Luke bounced in the bounce house. Then he wanted to slide down this big slide. I didn't think that he was big enough. Well, he thought differently. My little man climbed up there all by himself and had a blast sliding down. 
When we came back Luke had his dentist appointment. He did really good. There were some tears, but it wasn't too bad. They let him pick out the color of his filling. Nana wasn't very happy with me that Luke now has a green tooth so here is a picture to prepare her before we see her next week. He is so proud of his green tooth. He is now taking flouride every day to try to help the condition that his baby teeth are in. Hopefully that will help so his mouth won't have all the colors of the rainbow in it by the time he gets his permanent teeth.
He is growing up so fast. He is learning to make conversation on the phone. Whenever he talks to someone on the phone he asks them how their dog is doing. It is pretty cute! That is all the fun stuff that we've done lately. We'll post again after Thanksgiving!
