Caleb's Song

My precious Caleb has written his very own song. Caleb is always singing and talking (to himself or anyone who will listen =) ). One day he came and told Aaron and I that he had made up his own "Christian song". Well,of course, we were anxious to hear it. As he was singing it (for the first time and every time since), my eyes welled up with tears as I listen to my precious 5 year-old sing about Jesus =) Here is a video of him singing it (so you all can cry too =) ):



I think you can probably hear the words okay, but he's a little quiet, so just in case:
Although I walk, in the darkest valleys and mountains
I won't be in fright, cause I know You're right beside me
And I know You're Jesus, yes siree
And I must go tell, the people, about You, Lord
And about You're love too, God

I hope you enjoy listening to Caleb's song...he sure loves singing it!! =)

NYC

We have made several trips to NYC since living in Eastern PA. My dad and brother were here this past week and we thought it would be fun to take them since neither of them had been before. Well, this last trip has added to the things that we have learned about taking trips to the Big Apple...

1. Take public transportation while in the city (it can take you over an hour to drive 5-10 miles in Manhattan)...it only took us 4 trips to figure this out =)
2. If rain is forecasted, TAKE YOUR UMBRELLA!!! Or you will end up paying $10 from a street vendor (for one that cost 50 cents to make) if you're already standing in the pouring rain, soaking wet!!!
3. Times for the ferry to the Statue of Liberty don't matter (so if you're stuck in a downpour trying to make it to the ferry before it leaves...don't worry about it)!!!
4. Apparently, Applebee's can double/triple their prices if the restaurant is located in Manhattan and overlooks Broadway =)

Thankfully, my dad and brother are troopers and we had a great time despite the fact that we were soaking wet for the first half of the day =) Enjoy the pics =)

Welcome =)

I've been wanting to start a blog for a while now...everybody's doing it =) Seriously, I enjoy reading about my friends' families and catching up with what's going on with them. Hopefully, you enjoy doing the same and I can do a good job of keeping you all updated on what fun things the kids do and say. Maybe we won't feel so far away =)
