Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house;
your children shall be like olive plants round about your table.
Psalm 128:3

Happy 5th Birthday Nehemiah

Hiding from the camera, shows off the whole blanket
Very happy with his new blanket
I made a blanket using a pattern that I really liked. Then Serafina asked for one, so I made her one with the colors that she wanted. When I was done with hers, Nehemiah said to me, "I want one for me birthday. I want red and green and blue." So here it is. He was pleased with it.
Nehemiah's race track cake


This was his favorite car, so I made it the winner of the "race".
These cars are also a toy. They have these little boxes that you put in to the back of them and then push a button and they fly across the table. Quite a fun cake decoration.
Except the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it;
Except the LORD keeps the city, the watchman wakes but in vain.
It is vain for you to rise up early, to take rest late, to eat the bread of anxious toil — for HE gives blessings to HIS beloved in sleep.
Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.
As arrows are in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth.
Happy, blessed, and fortunate is the man whose quiver is filled with them!
They will not be put to shame when they speak with their adversaries in gatherings at the city's gate.
Psalm 127
