While I don\u2019t remember the conversation he was having when I shot this, I loved the light and shadows and the expression on Aidan\u2019s face.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nAll in all Lord, it was a peaceful, inspired and Blessed Easter Weekend and I thank You for those Gifts.\u00a0 The Glory of what this wondrous event signifies was on my heart throughout, and as You know I spent a great deal of time in contemplation of your Love for us all.<\/p>\n
Heavenly Father, thank You so much for our daily conversations; they truly Bless me well beyond written words on a page.\u00a0 I pray that our relationship continues to deepen, and that through what we\u2019ve begun I\u2019m able to continue to use this site to serve Your Will, and reach out to those in need.\u00a0 Amen.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Jonathan was in rare form at \u201cUncle\u201d Steve and \u201cAunt\u201d Kay\u2019s house on Saturday.\u00a0 While not blood-related, we consider them family in the truest sense of the word, and the boys love them to no end.\u00a0 In this shot he was out in the yard, playing with their dog and having a wonderful time doing so.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
