COOKIE CRUMBS: Balls, Boys and Birthdays

We should not underestimate or overlook the power of the Lord’s tender mercies. The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live. When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance (see 1 Ne. 1:20).

Balls, Boys and Birthdays

My Gideon turned two a couple weeks ago. We kept things pretty low key but we did have ball birthday cakes after dinner at his cousins house.

The ball birthday cakes were definitely a hit with these boys.

I got this picture a little late but as we sang happy birthday to him he didn't like all the attention so he was turning away and trying to hide.

This little man is every bit as stinkerish and cute as any little two year old should be but we are so glad to have him we love him so much! Happy Birthday little squirt!!!
