Fourth of July

Today was our baby birthday party, and although we still have not uploaded any new pictures, many more cute ones were taken today....which will be available for your viewing pleasure in the near future, I swear it!

Meanwhile, here is a picture that Gwen took of James and Olivia when we barbecued on the 4th of July. They are waiting anxiously for dinner to be served. Cuteness!

For You I Will

Yeah, yeah, yeah....I was supposed to post pictures and it never happened. Well, we got home from Wisconsin at 11:30 p.m. on Sunday and since then we have been pretty tired! Plus since we moved the computer out into the living room we haven't gotten it all prepared for downloading pictures and I have no idea where Ben put the things I need to do so! But maybe this weekend we will manage it. After all, we have pictures from Oklahoma AND Wisconsin that need to be shown, and tomorrow we are having our baby birthday bash with our two baby friends who have very close July birthdays, Stella and Camille. So we will try to post pictures of all of that soon. Sorry for the delay, I am just exhausted!

In other news, James likes my old Monica CD and I discovered it is very different listening to it as a mother. Some of those song lyrics make me feel old now but mostly I just look at them in a whole new light. For example, my favorite song on that CD is this one, which now has quite a different meaning than Before James:


"For You I Will"

When you're feeling lost in the night,
When you feel your world just ain't right
Call on me, I will be waiting
Count on me, I will be there
Anytime the times get too tough,
Anytime your best ain't enough
I'll be the one to make it better,
I'll be there to protect you,
See you through,
I'll be there and there is nothing
I won't do.

I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero your strength
Anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
I promise you,
For you I will.

I will shield your heart from the rain
I won't let no harm come your way
Oh, these arms will be your shelter
No, these arms won't let you down
If there is a mountain to move
I will move that mountain for you
I'm here for you, I'm here forever
I will be your fortress, tall and strong
I'll keep you safe,
I'll stand beside you, right or wrong

I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero, your strength
anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
I promise you
For you I will

For you I will lay my life on the line
For you I will fight, oooooh
For you I will die
With every breath, with all my soul
I'll give my world
I'll give it all
Put your faith in me
And I'll do anything

I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero your strength
Anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
I promise you
For you I will

I promise you
For you I will
