Babies are the best aren't they? I was so blessed to welcome into the world a new little niece this week. It's so neat to see God's precious creation at work. Just the other day she was inside of Anita's belly and the next minute she's breathing oxygen and drinking some good milkies :) I can't stop thinking of the miracle of life. How God has formed each one of us. Chloe is already completely unique and different from everyone else, and what's even more cool, is God has a plan for her life! I'm reminded now of what David said in the Psalms: "For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb, I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written. The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!" Psalm 139: 13-17
How wonderful that we have a creator who made each and everyone of us, who knows us completely, who made the entire universe, and all that is in it. Praise God! Here are a couple of pictures of little Chloe Jean Windemuller born on March 22, 2011. Congratulations Jeremy and Anita!

I love spring :) Well I really love March. Few reasons why....Maple Syrup, Melted Snow, Thunderstorms, getting ready for Easter, and Warm days.....ahhh....soooo good. I thought I would post a couple pictures of our Maple syrup making adventures over at VanRaalte farm. I could probably sit in that sugarshack all day just boiling away :) It smells so yummy! If you have never had pure maple syrup, stop what you are doing and go get some. It's delicious!!!!!! Paul prefers it on ice cream or oatmeal, and I just prefer to eat it by the spoonful :) You pick how you like to eat it :) Here is a little cute story; I asked my nephew Lance who he wanted to be in the future, he hesitated at first, then he said, "I want to be a dad" I said "that's awesome! Daddy's are the best! You are going to be a great dad!  What else would you like to be?" He replied "I'm going to be someone who makes Maple Syrup!"  :)
Hope you are all enjoying your "start of spring" weather and getting out the house and having fun!
