For the Love of Many

Hey y'all. Just thought I'd let anyone who's interested know that Sam and another guy at our church, John Mark, do a blog together. They do it to put up good quotes they read, articles or blog posts they find, anything that affected them and they want to share.

Sam just put up a couple of links today that are really good. The one at Desiring God was really good for me this morning when I was feeling crummy.

You can read that blog at fortheloveofmany.blogspot.com. They're fancier than we are here at "The Land" and have good music you can listen to while you read.

Our little old man

We thought this picture was pretty funny. As one observer noted, "Who replaced Canaan with the 60-year-old man??" Poor guy.

As of late

So I thought I'd give an update for all the out-of-towners that read this, since it's been a while. 

We just finished watching the Florida Gators cream the Georgia Bulldogs. It was a sad game to watch... we didn't even score a touchdown until the end of the 4th quarter. Tim Tebow (the Florida QB) knocked our socks off. I suppose in some ways we deserved it after our big celebration last year, after only the first touchdown of the game...

As of December 1, Sam is going to be the official owner of what has been his boss' business. We're really excited about this and after a few months of not being sure if we should buy it or not, really feel the Lord's confirmation in a few different ways. Mike, the former owner, has been so good to us and we're grateful for him! It seems to be a relationship that the Lord just brought about in order to really bless us. 

We're going to visit my mom for a couple of days to enjoy the beautiful (hopefully beautiful!) fall weather in the mountains. We're really looking forward to having a little getaway with her.

Canaan really has grown a lot and we're having a blast with him as he gets more and more expressive. His dad can make him crack up, in his own 2-month-old way, of course. We think it's about the best thing ever when he smiles. He's sleeping better and better at nights which is great. He's had his first cold the last few days, though, and doesn't like that nose sucker. I don't blame him; I always hated it, too. 

I thought by now I'd have figured out how to put videos up here, but nope. Here's another picture of Canaan until I find something else to post on here. Someday we'll start actually taking pictures with a real camera instead of the one attached to the computer. It's not the most recent or anything... I'm not sure if he'd still fit like this, but I thought it was sweet.
