i knew there was something i forgot to talk about yesterday!! wendy's gave us free lunch! we had done some shopping... exchanged some stuff at zeller's, and keyzia was famished. so, a quick hop across lansdowne street to wendy's where a newspaper guy took a pic of jason and keyzia putting some money in a donation thing. then, i ordered, got my wallet out, and they said that lunch would be free for us!!

if we had have known we would have ordered more!

got his daddy this time.... so bad that both daddy and baby had to jump in the shower!!

wow.... manda posted this great article on a true hero in toronto. this guy actually jumped on the tracks to save a lady who had lost her footing... even though he knew that a train was coming.

truly amazing.

he got me again!! i can't believe it! all dressed for the dr's appt. and phhhhhhhhht!! pop! poop everywhere! when i close my eyes at night, all i see is poop!

I posted a bunch of new baby pics to lovin' the leech today.... check the best of the beastie for new keyzia pics tomorrow!!

thanks to mom for scanning all these pics!

our beloved son is a poop cannon. he actually shot poop across the room so far that it hit the closet door today. waited til the exact second that i took the old diaper off and was about to slip the new diaper under his bum. perhaps he could be used as some kind of a weapon?

GENTLY, LORD

Love me gently Lord. I'm hurting now.
I've lived to see Your sovereignty, You've taught my knees to bow.
I've caught glimpses of Your glory, I've seen Your righteous ways,
But right now I need You, Father, just to face another day.

You have promised not to always be exactly what I please,
But You give sweet assurance You're exactly what I need.
I need a gentle Father and the lullaby He sings,
"Let me tuck you safely underneath My healing wings."

Love me gently, Lord, I'm hurting now.
You said, "Take your cross and follow Me." I beg, please show me how.
To celebrate my weakness that in You I might be strong,
When desperation grips my soul, a moment seems too long.

Oh, God, what noble plans I had to do this whole thing right!
Now I fall before You wounded, and I've lost the will to fight.
There are soldiers all around me, they're depending on me, too.
I fear I've nothing left to give. So, again I ask, CAN YOU?

"I'll love you gently," He says, "I know you're hurting now.
You've oft revered My sovereignty, your knees have dropped to bow.
If only you could see things from My throne's point of view
You'd see glimpses of My glory are fast at work in you!"

"I'll love you gently, Let me soothe your hurting now.
I've said, Pick up and follow...I'll do more than show you how.
I'll turn this Throne of Brilliance into a rocking chair
Crawl aboard, My precious child, and I will rock you there."
