Great Find at Target!

If you have a baby, little kids, know anyone who has a baby or little kids, or is pregnant, or might possibly have a baby, you should check out this deal at Target! Our Target had their blanket sleepers on clearance for 75% off!! I'm not sure if all of the Targets have them on clearance, but it's definitely worth checking! They are Just One Year, which is made by Carter's, so the quality is good. They come in sets of 2, and at 75% off cost only $3.98!!! That's less than $2 per sleeper! They have some really cute designs, too, but they're going FAST, so if this is something you're interested in, you may want to head out soon! I was there a couple of days ago and they had 2 full racks of them at 50% off. Today, they're down to 75% and there was only 1 rack left!

My Dad's Going to Need Another Pumpkin

As I said before, my dad carves a pumpkin of each of his grandkids every year. Next year, he's going to need one more! BUT before you get too excited, it's not us (don't worry, family, I don't think we'd choose to announce a pregnancy over a public blog...or would we???). :P My sister is pregnant with her 4th baby and is due sometime in July!!! We're so excited to have another niecephew on the way. This little blessing brings Hannah's cousin count up to ELEVEN! And I'm guessing that the number will just continue to rise in the coming years. :) Yay! We're praying that God will keep this little one safe until my sister's appointment on the 23rd, when she'll be able to start her blood thinners. We are so excited and can't wait to have another little one in the family! Maybe this one will take on the characteristics of the Fujita side of the family, but judging by the four that are already here, the chances of that are slim to none. :)

The Lessons Our 13-Month-Old Doesn't Even Know She's Teaching Us

Hannah has taught us so many spiritual lessons over the last year; however, the way this one played out made it pretty funny. James has been really excited about Tim Keller's new book, Counterfeit Gods. It basically deals with the idolatry of our hearts. The things that we worship aren't usually bad things. In fact, they're often good things - marriage, children, church - but when they become more important to us than Christ, they have become our idol. I think we often try to simply get rid of our idols, without replacing them with Christ. What we often forget is that we were created to worship. Therefore, we will always be worshiping something. If Christ doesn't become the focus of our worship, we will just find something else - some other "good" thing - to worship in His place. Well, Hannah gave us a nice visual of this the other day.

As you probably know, James loves candy! He has worked to make it so that it isn't an idol in his life, but we were laughing because we looked in his candy jar, and all the candy had been pulled out and in its place was a little New Testament. I knew Hannah was carrying the Bible around that day, but I had no idea what she had done with it! We both laughed as we thought about the lesson she was trying to teach her daddy! :)

On a side note, Hannah apparently missed the memo about the time change and was up at 6:30 this morning and James has come down with the flu. :( I've been loading him up with Chicken Noodle Soup today and he's just been resting. Praying for a quick recovery so that he can get back to being himself!
