Here's Lilian's latest trick...She can go from her tummy to sitting up all by herself. :) I'm beginning to wonder if she'll ever crawl, she really wants to get up and walk! Anyways, we are proud of our little wonder. And she is truly a wonder every day. I can't even imagine what we did without her. (besides sleep)

Mighty to Save
This has to be my favorite song right now. The words are just incredible, as I am really needing God to be Mighty to Save in various situations in my life right now. Especially today as I seek closure to an ongoing conflict. We've been studying in Kings and Chronicles in Sunday School this quarter. Those are some really interesting stories, and contrary to what you may think, there's some serious lessons to learn in there. One major thing to me has been that when the people are humble and repentant, Jehovah God is truly Mighty to Save! Not only does God forgive them of their sins, but fights their battles! And I believe He's still in the saving business. I hope you do too!
Everyone needs compassion
A love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Savior
The hope of nations
(Chorus:)SaviorHe can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever Author of Salvation
He rose & conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as You find me
All my fears & failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender
Then sing the chorus a few more times just for the good ol' greatness of it!
You can listen to the song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYqogpLpC5Q The video isn't spectacular but the song and the SAVIOR is!

7 Months
Lilian is now 7 months old. Wow, time is going by fast. I'm not wanting to rewind anything...in fact, I'm still looking forward to crawling, then walking, and talking, among other things. Although I'm trying to enjoy the ride along the way. Here's some super cute pics of Lilian on her 7 month birthday. oh, yeah, and she weighs 18 lbs now!!! CHUBBERS!!!!

Enjoying a bite!
Now that we have 2 teeth, we can try out different foods, right? Here's Lilian getting a taste of Graham Crackers with daddy. She just knawed and knawed on those things. It was too cute!

WIPEOUT!
We went sledding over the weekend. So I decided to take a video while Jeff and I went down together. I doubt this will work unless you are on high speed internet. But hopefully you can enjoy our little "Adventure". :)
