Just some giggles :)

Just a cute video of the little man. I'll do an update on him soon :)

Just a thought...

For Christmas my mom got me the cd of children's songs from Janice Kapp Perry that we listened to growing up. I loved those songs, and remember sticking them in when I was a teenager because I missed listening to them. Maybe I'm silly, but children's songs are sometimes my favorite songs of all. They are so simple, and teach truths for the understanding of any age. And a lot of times, it is the simple things in life that bring so much joy.

As I have been listening to these songs a little bit, even though Austin doesn't really listen or understand them yet, one of them stuck out to me. I remember liking it growing up, but it had a little bit of a different meaning, now that I have a child of my own. And every time I hear it, pictures like these go through my mind.

 I lived with my Heavenly Father before I was sent to the earth.
But I cannot remember the sound of His voice, for that was forgotten at birth.
But daddy when your arms surround me, and I feel so safe in your love.
I wonder, do I hear in your voice a sound like my Father above.

I lived with my Heavenly Father before I was sent to the earth.
But I cannot remember the look in His eyes, for that was forgotten at birth.
But daddy when I look in your eyes, I seem to recall how it was.
God gave me a dear earthly Father, so I would remember His love.
