.loving all of it even while he had to hate some of it because he knows now that you don't love because: you love despite; not for the virtues, but despite the faults. --william faulkner

God's recreation of the new day.
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the word
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
(Cat Stevens, Morning has broken.)
after spilling 1/3 of a bottle of scented bubbles, asher and i started making jokes about it being a bubble tub. so this is asher washing his hair in the bubble tub.
if you don't think this is the most beautiful little girl in the world, something is wrong with you. this is lainey hunt.
and this is her older brother, asher. and yes, he's the cutest 4 year old out there. look at that face!
five things i think about asher:
1--he's going to change the world.
2--he's going to be a really good athlete.
3--he's going to be good at anything he does. examples include skateboarding, drums, guitar, public speaking.
4--he's going to really love jesus. look at his parents.
5--he's going to be a missionary. sorry, julie :)
this is lainey dancing. this picture makes me smile so much, because this is julie hunt as a child. five things i think about lainey:
1--she's going to be BEAUTIFUL and natural.
2--she's going to be the most compassionate adult.
3--she's going to write cookbooks.
4--she's going to love listening and really investing in people.
5--she's going to be a writer.
"in the presence of God there is fullness of joy." in the hunt house, God dwells. therefore, joy is amongst them always.
This time last year, I lived with the Hunt's. For most of the day yesterday, I hung out with these kids. Last night Julie cooked an amazing dinner for a lot of people. Julie is one of my best friends. In this world, I try to remember someone who has impacted my life more than her. There is no one outside of my parents. Julie taught me how to love people really well.
So, on this first day of 2006, I want to acknowledge some people who have made my life a better life. Thank you Hunt family.

You should print out your predictions for Lainey and Asher from your blog and paste it in their baby books. Let's see if you're right some day!
