Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! This picture is from the Huntington Beach Pier after the Sunrise Service.
We hope you have a great day celebrating the risen Christ.
The idea of the Father sending His Son to die for us has new meaning this year. Amazing.

Well... Clearly this picutre doesn't show it, and I can't believe I only took one picture that day (we have 508 pictures already and he's only 29 days old) but Grandma and Grandpa took us all out for dinner for an early Easter since they're heading to New York. We went to El Torito Grill, where they make the best fresh tortillas, and the second best guacamole. Simon liked to watch the tortillas spin around on the cooker. He slept well.. like a baby, the whole time.

3 weeks old

Time is strange. Sometimes it seems to move so slowly and other times it seems to move too quickly. With babies I think it seems to do both. It seems like ages ago that we were in the hospital waiting, wondering what he would look like (and what we would finally name him), and yet at the same time it seems to be moving all too fast.

Simon is 3 weeks old now.
He's doing great. Growing like crazy. He's changed so much and so fast. (I'm not sure if its as noticeable to others)

Personally I'm not sure who he'll end up looking like more still, but it's clear that he got his eating habits from Dad. Pretty much wants to eat every waking moment of his life.

He's getting stronger, making the funniest faces, making bizarre sounds (from both ends) and settling into a schedule a little bit more.

Back to sleep now. I'll drop some pictures tomorrow.

Dependent

If you feel so inclined we would love your prayer for Simon.
He's good, strong, healthy, but could use prayer.
This guide was sent my way. It's pretty helpful.

Pray that:

1. he come to know Christ early in life.

2. he will develop a hatred for sin. Psalms 97:10

3. he will be caught when guilty. Psalms 119:71

4. he will be protected from evil in each area of their lives: spiritual, emotional and physical. John 17:15

5. he will have a responsible attitude in all interpersonal relationships.

6. he will respect authority. Romans 13:1

7. he will desire right friends and be protected from wrong friends. Proverbs 1:10-15

8. he will be kept from the wrong mate and be saved for the right mate in marriage.

9. he and those they will marry be kept pure until marriage.

10. he will actively resist Satan in all circumstances. James 4:7

11. he will be single-hearted, willing to be sold out to Jesus Christ! Romans 12: 1-2

12. he will be hedged in so they cannot find their way to wrong people or wrong places.

The Teepee

Grandma sent these as a gift.
We laughed pretty hard when they arrived.
They actually work pretty sweet. No more sneak attacks.
