More pics
Dera is even cuter than her pictures. She's just a tiny little lady. Luke asked to hold her and he didn't want to give her up. He asked on the way home when we could bring her to our house.
Dera's first pics
We are so excited to announce the arrival of Dera Marie Smithson. She was a little earlier than expected, but mom and baby are both doing fine. She weighed in at a heaping 5:14! Congrats Matt and Diane!

Punch some body!
Liam told Joel after soccer practice that he didn't like one kid on the team because he didn't follow the rules (Liam loves rules) and he would kick the ball out of bounds as hard as he could. When Liam asked him why he kept doing it, the kids said, 'because I'm good!' Apparently he's not good, but he's been told that over and over so he's a believer! Liam said he would like to punch the kid in the face and tell him that he isn't any good. But then he said, "but God says we're supposed to love our enemies, so I'll pray for him instead even though I don't want to." Joel and I are so pleased that he takes God's word and hides it in his heart. He's such a blessing to us!

before and after
Liam and Luke had their teeth yanked yesterday, 3 each. They both did great without even a whimper! Neither one of them had much pain afterwards either. God is good!

Sweet Liam
Liam and Luke are going to have some teeth pulled tomorrow. I asked Liam if he would like to pray and this was his prayer:
God I know that you will be with Luke and me when we have our teeth out tomorrow. I pray we have a fun time and a little bit hurting time. We know it might hurt a little bit, but we don’t have to be afraid because You’re there. We can close our eyes and just think about how amazing You are. Amen.
I wish that I had gotten IT like Liam when I was eight years old. We are so proud of him. He's going to be baptized on March 29th with his good friend Morgan. We pray he will be full of the Spirit his whole life though.
