God is a very good God. He has blessed our family tremendously the last year or so, especially with the birth of our little girl Esther in July 2011. At the beginning of a new year, I feel it is important to remember the blessings of the year gone, and to not to let them fade into oblivion. Remember the little joys as well as the obvious ones. My small blessing is one of joy. This morning while watching Joyce Meyer on tv, I noticed Esther smiling every time Joyce came on the screen (See photo). Our little girl is already being filled by the word of God. It just goes to show that its the small blessings that make all the difference!

Esther 5+ Months
Well, Esther is growing fast. She is now 5 and a half months old, and growing strong. She can stand for long periods of time while holding onto mummy, can roll onto her tummy and back again, sit momentarily without support, AND has 2 teeth. The other day she even grabbed my coffee cup and tried to drink from it! What a journey you have had so far my little darling!!! I love you VERY much!!!

Esther's Chronicles: Esther's dedication
We were very privileged to enjoy the dedication of our daughter Esther last Sunday. In Baptist churches, a dedication is somewhat similar to a christening or naming day. However, there are also a lot of differences. Nevertheless, we were also privileged to have both our families along for the day, and to have them over for lunch afterwards.
