Just a couple of quotes I've enjoyed from Family Life in the past few months:


*Paraphrase from Dennis Rainey: We have an orphan crisis.  There are close to 500,000 foster kids in the United States.  Over 130,000 could be adopted right now.  Worldwide there are 140 million orphans.  The only "organization" big enough to meet the need is the Body of Messiah.

*Guest Greg Gunn: "One of the best training grounds for marriage is the sibling relationship.  What other relationship will we ever be in that we will have to share the same bathroom, the same kitchen, with a person who is not always kind, not always loving and not always mature?  Based upon the way I treated my siblings growing up, I was not being trained in marriage, I was being trained in divorce and psychological warfare."


And a couple of pictures of this cutie's birthday:

Quote of the day:

"Here are some additional Paleo Dessert recipes for the festive Jewish caveman in all of us."

Thanks, Elana.

We were driving in the car yesterday, and Eliana was resting her head against her seat.  All of the sudden she popped her head up and said with passion, "I want to do everything I can do."  Then she proceeded to list her "plans" for the day.  Does that sound like anyone you know?

We couldn't be happier to have the TBlakes living with us while they're back in the States. 

Can you tell?

I have a hard time choosing one of these as my favorite, so I will just share them all.

If you want to hear Eliana in action, check her out on Jess' blog.  Don't worry if you can't understand the words - they're Hebrew.  She's singing our favorite song from Sukkot and actually doing a great job with the words.

Have you had your special drink today?
