Give Thanks in all Circumstances...

As you can imagine the last few days have been very emotional and very exhausting. But God is so good to us. This is the view that awaited us as we got back into Flagstaff. Not only were we bringing Sam home from the hospital, happy and healthy, but God created this masterpiece to welcome us home! We were sure it of it because the name of the road where we saw this amazing scene is "Newman Park Road"!

"Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

1 Thessalonians 5:18

Dinousaur Fun in Phoenix!

Jake is really excited for Walking with the Dinosaurs-The Live Experience to Start!
Dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe, which Jake also loved because of the many, many guitars!

While waiting to get into the show, Will finds a girl to flirt with.

Jake finds someone who is interested in hearing him talk about Dinosaurs.

Actually, he met another kid who thought he was such an amazing expert on the subject that he actually asked for Jake's autograph!!!

OOOOHHHHH---the anticipation!

Brachiasaurus and T-Rex

Will loved it too! He kept pointing and saying "This, This!!"

Simple Pleasures

What could be better at the end of they day than a bouquet of wildflowers from your oldest son? Even though they came from someone else's yard. But who is telling?

Camping

Jake and Sam have been begging to go camping for a long time. So we finally decided to bite the bullet and embark on a new adventure. I was very concerned about managing Will in the wilderness, but it worked out fine and we all had a great time!
