Hanky-Panky

Little Hankster in the bath...

Henry is now 9 MONTHS OLD!  Really can't believe he will be a year in September.  For such a sweetie, he has a wild side (as you can see from his hair-do).  Nick and I decided that if we had Henry first, we would not have had any more children.  He has been quite a challenge... and still is at times!  But he is our little guy and we wouldn't trade him for the world.

"I just ate a whole jar of pureed lasagna... lookout, Huggies!"

Please keep our friends Blake and Amy Everhart in your prayers.  Blake is the son of our daycare provider, Shelly Moistner in Hartford City.  Amy and her 3-week-old daughter, Addison, were attacked on Friday in Muncie in their own home, just down the road from us.  Some woman was trying to abduct their new baby.  From what we understand, the woman was there doing a routine inspection for a pest company, and attacked Amy from behind, trying to choke her.  Amy was holding 3-week-old Addison at the time, but was able to put the baby down and fight off her attacker.  (I like to think that they were protected by God, however, there is nothing more powerful than a Mama Grizzly.)

It is a crazy, horrific story, but all true.  From the police report, they found that this woman had been planning on abducting Addison since she found out Blake and Amy were expecting and their last routine pest inspection.  The woman had been wearing a fake baby bump and telling her friends and family that she was expecting, too.  INSANE!  

Shelly called to let us know what was going on, and I'm making some sweet potato casserole and mac and cheese to take over to the family here later today.  They live right down the road.  Blake is a teacher at Yorktown High School.  Anyway, Shelly has been in contact saying everyone is very shook up, but relieved that they are all okay.  Please remember them today in your thoughts and prayers for comfort. 

Did anyone else see the AWESOME skywalker event last night on Discovery Channel?  Nick wanted to watch it, and had turned it on to watch the pre-show set-up.  Vivian and I were reading a book before her bedtime, and we were so nervous when Nik Wallenda began walking the tightrope, we asked him to change the channel!  However, once Wallenda got going, Nick turned it back, and we were amazed at his awesome prayers during his walk.  Publicity stunt or not, we thought it was AWESOME to hear him PRAISE JESUS with every step.  Vivian was watching and said, "He's talking to God!" :)  What a cool and unexpected display of faith on television.  Our beautiful Savior found his way into many homes last night, without any warning.  Billions of people heard the glorification of his name... AWESOME!

Our God is an AWESOME God!!!
