Well, birthday season has come and gone. I am no longer the mom of a toddler and a preschooler. I am now the mom of a full fledged KINDERGARDNER and a two year old who thinks he's 13. I'll have pictures from Ethan's party up soon.
So here is today's story. Sunday was when we had Ethan's official party (after church). As he's walking up to the church doors, he sees his reflection, looks at his dad with a puzzled expression and says wisely "I don't think I LOOK 5, really." Poor kid - he honestly thought there was some sort of transformation on your birthday. I didn't have the heart to explain to him that he had been five for an entire week already....

The Police
We got tickets! No, not "you've been a bad girl" kinda tickets. More like "Happy Anniversary - you're gonna see one of your favorite bands in concert" kind of tickets! YIPEEEEEEEEEEE....
Shhh...don't tell granny they're a rock and roll band! :)
I did feel old when I saw the concert advertisment - I remember 3 young, blonde, mop headed rockin' Brits - but the poster had 3 balding or graying gentlemen with time etched on their faces. Surely I still look like I did in high school, right? :)

Chocolate, Stawberry, or vanilla?
Those are your ONLY choices. Which do you pick?
I'm a vanilla gal - you can add vanilla to anything or add anything to vanilla to make it what you want. Some people see "plain" when they see vanilla ice cream...I see "possibilities"!
Leave it to me to be thinking about ice cream when the temp outside is 25 degrees. :)

Noah's Birthday
Noah turned the big 0-2 on March 15th, 2007. He's quite of fan of "melmo"...
You do NOT have to tell Noah what to do with a cupcake - it's instinct!
He also seems to have caught on to what a "present" is and what to do with it. Now every time a package comes in the mail he starts jumping and dancing and saying "yeah, wowah pesent!"
Here he is showing off the "fish" he "caught" - he loves this magnetic puzzle!
The next day, we all went to the Minnesota Children's Museum featuring a Bob the Builder exhibit. Ethan still loves Bob and Noah likes anything Ethan likes, so it was a win-win. It was difficult to get many pictures because they both kind of scattered!

On the way home, I was able to get Noah to mug a bit in the skyway. Isn't that just the cutest face you've ever seen? You'd never believe there is mischief behind those eyes! OK, well maybe in the second picture you would.

Worship
Tonight I was given the opportunity to lead our worship service before our classes at church. It's been a while since I lead...and I had forgotten just how much physical, emotional, and spiritual work goes into leading people into the throne room. And, as usual, God loves to teach me via object lessons - so naturally today was extra tough as I prepared. I just adore worshipping God, and I am humbled and elated to use whatever talents or abilities He has granted me to bring glory to His precious name! He is worthy!

Hollow, Deceptive Philosophy
I have had the great pleasure of re-connecting with many old high school friends via a discussion board one of them set up. It's been a lot of fun and a great apologetic exercise for me. Many on the board would claim to be atheist, or at least agnostic. Then there are many other faiths represented, including a "universe is God" view. There are a few Evangelicals, but needless to say, I am horribly outnumbered, and have been praying earnestly before many of my faith-related posts.
Now I know beyond any shadow of any doubt that there are no coincidences with God. Wouldn't you know it, but right in the height of a very good discussion on the nature of Truth with these friends, I find myself in a Bible study of the book of Colossians. And here is what I read:
"See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority." (Col. 2:8-10)
AMEN! Sometimes those hollow philosophies can sound very reasonable...but in the end, they deny the deity of Christ and elevate man to god, creating relativistic truth - which is no truth at all. So, together with all the saints I proclaim: "To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power for ever and ever!" (Rev. 5:13b)
