Month of May, part 3

And last but definitely not least, we celebrated wonderful life events with lots of dear friends from a baby shower to a bridesmaids luncheon to a wedding! I got to help with these events and had a wonderful time serving and honoring friends who are very dear to our hearts.

This pic was from our wedding back in 2007. Kameron was Stephen's best man and today we got to watch as he married his beautiful bride Olivia. Their wedding was an incredible worship service where the Gospel was clearly proclaimed and the covenant of marriage was celebrated. We're thrilled for Kameron and Olivia as they start their new life together as husband and wife!

Stephen looked very handsome in his tux. I loved the way he kept looking at me in the audience and winking from his spot on stage.  :-)

Congrats Kam & Olivia! Love, the Webbs

Next, Caleb had his first water day at childcare.

He took a few minutes to get used to the water, but overall he did great and ended up liking it!

Caleb also had his first taste of real food - sweet potatoes (I made my first batch of baby food!)

We went to Granna & Poppa's house and swam in their pool for the first time. Caleb did great! We stayed in for about 45 minutes.

And of course spent some quality male bonding time with Daddy - computer games!

Month of May, part 1

Wow, the last few weeks have been super busy. Soooo much going on and all of it has been wonderful. I have so many pictures to put up here that I'm going to let the pics do most of the talking. We'll start at the beginning of the month.

We went to Kansas to visit my family!

Watched Auntie Em play soccer (she's awesome)!

Chilled with Uncle Dave

Went out to the farm for a visit and got to pet a brand new colt.

Pet the dogs

And turned the cuteness up a notch for Gigi & G-Paw

Caleb Bouncing

This video is from a few wks ago and I'm just getting it off the camera. I've watched it over and over and can't help but laugh out loud each time. Specifically because I think it looks like Caleb is bull riding at the end of the video. :-)  Enjoy!

Normal Evening

The game plan for tonight:

• Parmesean chicken & pasta in the oven, veggies soon to steam on the stove
• Stephen in the recliner talking baby talk with Caleb
• Caleb in the excersaucer putting all the attached toys in his mouth
• Watching American Idol (it's either Lee or Crystal for me - Stephen votes Lee)
• A bottle for Caleb, then bath, story, prayers and bed
• A little bedtime reading for myself
• And then off to bed for us big kids

A fairly normal and great evening for the Webbs.

Answer to Plan B

Ok, so within minutes of posting my book review of Plan B, I saw this trailer for David Platt's book Radical. I love David and what he says in this video is a major part of what I was thinking as I read Plan B, I just can't articulate it as well as David does. Much of American Christianity has been based around the idea of loving God and living the best life we can. But God doesn't always call us to America's idea of the "best" life. And we need to be ok with that. Watch the video. Read the book Radical or even better listen to the sermon series on Brook Hill's website HERE.

Book Review: Plan B

Plan B

By Pete Wilson

I'm mixed in my feelings regarding Plan B by Pete Wilson. The book is based around the question of how do you pick up the pieces of your life when the plan you had for it falls apart - thus the title Plan B. A primary observation I had is that Pete leans heavily on stories/experiences to convey his ideas rather than basing them on direct biblical truth. This lends itself to being an easier read, but left me hungry for God's Word. However, I kinda got the feeling this book may have been written more for the person who has grown up in church their whole life and done their own thing and all of a sudden reaches a point where they either a: realize their life hasn't turned out the way they thought it would, or b: had something tragic happen and are now questioning where God is in the midst of that hard time. This would probably be a fine book to help them through that time as it does point you back to God and His plans and purposes for our lives and how they don't always match up with our own. But I felt like it was a very light book and only scratches the surface of God's sovereignty over our lives and His ultimate purpose for mankind - to bring Him glory. I don't have a major problem with this book, but as I said, it left me wanting more; wishing he had delved deeper into God's Word and truth.

I received this book for free from www.booksneeze.com in exchange for my honest review.
