I love this shot.  I just had this taken right before Tessa went to bed.  She loves Otto and Otto loves Tessa.  He's a 140 pound Bernese Mountain Dog who loves being manhandled by 35 pound 3 year old.  Tessa just loves hanging with Otto.  In fact, I think she loves Otto more than all the rest of ...

OK....so it's not often that I will go along with all that estrogen.  However, there is so much estrogen going in this picture and all Three are looking in unison that I'd be remiss to not post this as a Saturday Favorite.  My wife probably isn't enthralled all of the time for me having 3 boys a...

 1 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
(John 14:1-4, New King James Version) I review for BookSneeze
