Join me in praying to end abortion
This year, during Lent (March 9th-April 17th), there is a worldwide campaign called the '40 Days for Life Initiative.'
40 Days for Life consists of 40 days of prayer and fasting for an end to abortion, 40 days of constant, peaceful vigil outside abortion centers and Planned Parenthood offices and 40 days of pro-life community outreach.
“With the dramatic changes in congressional leadership, negative attention surrounding Planned Parenthood and the rest of the abortion industry, and the monumental shift in public attitudes regarding the right to life, we have reached a cultural tipping point,” said Shawn Carney, campaign director of 40 Days for Life. “Against that backdrop, we are preparing to launch the largest-ever 40 Days for Life campaign.” (source: lifesitenews.com)
I haven't decided exactly how I will participate, but I will definitely be committing it to prayer and hope you will too.

Two Cute Janie Bug Videos
Jane showing her ballet moves. I love her disheveled hair/leotard in this video. It captures her personality. She loves being a princess but doesn't have time to bother with details like fixing her hair or wiping her nose. At the end of this video you can hear Will yelling, "FIRE! FIRE!" because he's seeing steam rise up from the rice I was steaming :-)
Jane singing her ABC's with GUSTO (also capturing her personality perfectly)In case you're needing a little translation, at the end, instead of saying "Next time won't you sing with me" she says "Next time won't you eat a cookie with me" which the kids think is hilarious

Will's Birthday and more
Thought I'd post a few pictures from Will's 4th birthday as well as some other recent favorite shots.
On his birthday, we headed down to Krispy Kreme for donut holes in the morning, had a surprise visit from Pa and then headed to the Dirty Bird for dinner.
Throughout the day, Will kept showing me tricks he could do.
"Mommy, now that I'm 4, I can do this!!!" (Jumping off of the couch)
"Mommy, now that I'm 4, I can do this!!" (Forward roll)
"Woah, Mommy, look at how long my arms are now that I'm 4!!"
"Mommy, I'm 4 and I still like dinosaurs!!"
My favorite quote of the day was when John called Will from work to wish him a happy birthday and when John said "Happy Birthday, Will"
Will answered with:
"Happy Birthday to you too, Daddy."So polite :-)
We had a good friend (shout out to Andrew Barfoot) purchase a firestation party package for Will at an auction last year. We are so excited to cash in on this gift and throw Will a fire station birthday party this coming weekend. I'll post pictures of that next week.

Baby holding Baby
Our friend has an 18 month-old named Courtney that loves baby Joy. She was very excited to hold her yesterday at church and her mom, Melanie snapped a quick picture.
