Tis the Season...
Christmas is almost here!! I cannot wait! I don't recall ever being this excited about Christmas before. I cannot wait for Cale to wake up and see his gifts under the tree!
He is all about Santa! He had his picture made with him at church yesterday. I asked him what he told Santa he wanted... he said a Dinosaur and a motorcycle hat!! I have no idea where the hat came from!
He also loves to talk about Baby Jesus being born! I cant explain how I feel when he talks about Mary, Joesph and Baby Jesus... I am so glad he is learning about this in school! I feel so blessed that we are able to have him in a Christian school where he can learn about our Savior and all He has done for us. Thank you Jamii for all you do for us... we love you and are so thankful for you.
Here are a few pictures we had made by my friend Kait!
Also, please be praying for Cale.. he goes to the ENT today to see about having more tubes and possibly his tonsils taken out.

It's been a while...
We put our tree up this week and got the outside of the house decorated! Cale has done great with the tree. I was kinda wondering how little hands would be! :) I have most of my shopping done and the gifts wrapped under the tree! I am so excited about Christmas this year. I cant wait to see Cales face on Christmas morning. It amazes me how much Joy one little boy can bring to our lives. I cant think of a better time of year to thank the Lord for the many blessings he has given us. There is no way I could ever thank him enough for the gift of salvation, my husband, my son and my family and friends. I want to thank our family and friends for being there for us during our most trying times and then our most joyful times! I dont know what we would do without you.

Where's "Loganville?"
Cale amazes me everyday with what he says and does. I love just sitting and watching him play. I am so thankful that the Lord chose me and Clint to be his parents...
On that note...
If you are wondering why I called my blog "Having Faith" its because during the whole adoption process... thats what we had to have!! Faith... Faith that the Lord was hearing our prayers, Faith that He would know the desires of our hearts, Faith that He would bring us thru the storms we were facing during that time and FAITH that HE would answer our prayers... well on June 27, 2006... that HE DID!! I am so glad I serve a God that loves us despite of our Transgressions. I thank Him everyday for the blessings He has given me. I ask you to help us pray as we "Have Faith" for another little one in the near future.
I will leave you with the verse Clint gave me to hold on to during the storms we faced together...
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11
Did I mention how Blessed I am to have Clint in my life?? :)Wednesday, November 12, 2008
Let the adventure begin!!
After reading family and friends blogs, I figured it would be a good way to keep everyone up to date on Cale and everything that goes on in the Cook household!!
So bear with me... and know that many of my "ideas" will be copied from your blogs! hehe
