Lord of the Lilies

God, whose glory fills the sky,
God, whose glory fills the sea,
God, whose name is very high,
Lifted up in majesty.

Here among the hills afar,
By Thee planted, by Thee fed,
Lonely under moon and star
Lo, a shinning lily bed.

How didst Thou take thought to plant
Such a garden in the wild?
Say to it, "Thou shalt not want,
Just as to a human child?

Dressed like queens in white and gold,
Through all weather here they be,
Singing, singing as of old,
Lord of the lilies, unto thee.

January Birthdays!

Last month we had two birthdays, Anna-Kate turned 7 and Nathaniel turned 1. Below are some pictures we took on their birthdays.

Anna-Kate at the park on her birthday
Anna-Kate wearing her new cape!
Nathaniel was not really sure what to do with his present

Nathaniel is starting to figure out how to open presents
Nathaniel is suspicious of his candle
