Sweetly Broken
Here is a song I heard yesterday on the radio I thought was worth sharing. I've heard it before, but paid more attention to it this time. Another great Gospel song. Have a good weekend!

To the cross I look, to the cross I cling
Of its suffering I do drink
Of its work I do sing
For on it my Savior both bruised and crushed
Showed that God is love
And God is just
Chorus:
At the cross You beckon me
You draw me gently to my knees, and I am
Lost for words, so lost in love,
I’m sweetly broken, wholly surrendered
What a priceless gift, undeserved life
Have I been given
Through Christ crucified
You’ve called me out of death
You’ve called me into life
And I was under Your wrath
Now through the cross I’m reconciled
Chorus:
In awe of the cross I must confess
How wondrous Your redeeming love and
How great is Your faithfulness

4th of July and Bennigan's
Here's some stuff from our 4th weekend. We watched Cedar Park fireworks Friday night from an ACC campus about a block or two away. Lot less crowded but still effective. The boys were thrilled with them and had a great time. They got to bed after 10p, but were asleep in the car on the way home with in the first 2 minutes.
Sunday, we spent the afternoon at Reimer's Ranch, in the Pedernales River. This is one of the parks I use to work at. The river was pretty low, but the weather was very nice. We found craw dads, baby catfish, snakes and frogs. Caleb was the only one who walked around the river bottom barefoot the whole time! There was a small area where the river dropped a bit between some rocks, so it made somewhat of a 'water fall' and a pool at the bottom. The boys thought it was great to start at the top of the 'falls' and let it push them down.
Caleb and I after I pulled him out of the pool without his water wings; me explaining to him he needs his water wings and also to yell help if he is in trouble...
Everyone in the river by the boulders.
The family.
Benjamin enjoying his mud.
Caleb enjoying his mud.
Before we left, we had a hike through the climber's canyon and visited the cave there too.
On the way home, we ate at Bennigan's, which I don't think we ever have in our marriage together yet. We were leaving and this little Garfield looking cat came out from behind at trash can and rubbed all over the boys legs and started playing. He was a very friendly little guy. He definitely was a stray- oil on his fur, burs on his tail, very bony, no collar etc. The thing is, we lost Lily a couple weeks back. She just disappeared. We've been bummed about that. While at Reimer's we saw the old Impala by the goat pen that Lily was born under (she and her siblings were taking from the park when I worked there) and it was sad to have that full circle effect. As soon as we saw this guy, Veronica smiled at me and my thought was God is replacing Lily for us. Anyway, he is home with us now. Currently behind the dryer. His name is Bennigans and he seems really cool. This picture doesn't do him justice but he is very soft, with a looong tail. He has huge front paws, so I bet he will be big. He also puts the dog in her place too. That is a plus!

5th Anniversary
Here are some pictures from our anniversary. We went to San Antonio for the weekend and stay in a bed & breakfast there. The boys were with our friends Chuck and Angie. There is also a before and after picture of my hair cut. My last hair cut was in October 2007 for Luke's wedding. I wanted to put these in order, but somehow that didn't happen so we have pictures ranging from our sushi dinner, to the salt water pool, to the breakfast in our room, to Taco Taco "voted best tacos in America" by the Food Network, Caleb and Benjamin in the dog crate for some reason, and a 3 wheel Spyder motorcycle at IHOP.
