Animals, giraffes and oooohhh-ahhahhs!

hi, i'm jaden kim. i wanted to write today to tell you about my best friend, owen jackson. he's a little older than me, but he's so cool. he can walk really fast and say actual words like my name. he calls me "jaaa-din!" i hope to catch up to him soon. we're really great buddies because he lets me play with all of his toys especially his exersaucer. it's the coolest. yesterday, he also let me play with his red ball. well, this past weekend, we went to animal kingdom. it was a blast, but as you all can see, it was hot. owen and i are sweating in the pictures. we got to see so many different animals. owen really likes monkeys. i'm not sure what i like yet. we went to see this show "a bug's life" and it ended up being a little scary... okay. i'll write more later.

Charlie Brown...

I love the peanuts gang! The comics have so much insight to life. What you do guys think about the two comic strips??? I'm definitely Charlie Brown...I think way too much.

JD...

Dedicate...to the one I love

Jaden was dedicated to the Lord today!!! Here is a copy of our dedication speech...

"You are an absolutely beautiful child. Jaden means “God has heard” and when we first saw you, we knew that God had answered every prayer we lifted up about you. We dedicate you today because we believe firmly in the Lord Jesus Christ and the importance of honoring you unto the Lord as Hannah did for Samuel in the Word. You are a gift from the Lord and we promise to raise you in light of His grace.
Not only will we tell you of God’s good deeds, but we will teach you about His character, embrace you in His mercy and walk with you on your spiritual discovery. As parents we will help you find your gifts and help you experience the wonderful joy of the spiritual disciplines—prayer, reading the Word and serving others. Jaden, we feel so privileged to be your parents, and we will do our very best to shine God’s love on you."

A shout out to MC & Bernice for being there and taking pictures for us.

Just in...

I finally succumbed to the world of blogging. My good friend, Elizabeth (pictured left), inspired me to. I went on her blog and thought it was just so cool!

I realize that I have tons of things that I need to catch everyone up on since my move to Orlando. So much has happened and lots of experiences to write about. Hopefully, I will be able to sort my thoughts together and get going on my interesting (or not) ruminations.

Before I begin, I dedicate this blog to my hubby and son, whom I love with all of my heart, to all of my dear friends, whom I am thankful for, and to Christ, the sole essence of who I am.

The extraordinary of everyday

I never thought of myself as being a mother, well so soon that is. However, it is the unexpected moments that make life "extra-ordinary." Jaden Daniel Kim is definitely one of those moments. His existence makes everyday extraordinary for me. God knew Jaden would spice up my life in a myriad of ways.
