a fathers love

Well our little man is 25 days old.
It has been an incredible experience so far being a Dad. I tell Janese all the time "I love him so much" I just can't get over how much a father can love his son. I was talking to Janese the other day about the great love that I have for Jaxson and how I just want to take care of him and protect him and want to provide the best for him and then it hit me. God wanted all of those things and more for his son but He gave Him as a sacrifice for our sins....... WOW! I have grown up hearing that story over and over and over; then being in ministry have told that story over and over and over and now having a son of my own it means something totally new.

Jaxson Daddy loves you!

Pictures of Jaxson

We just wanted to give you a link to some pictures we have in one of our web albums.

2 weeks old

It has been a busy 2 weeks for the Temm household. Jaxson is 2 weeks old today and he has already met both sets of grandparents, Aunt Jess, Uncle Jonathon and Cousin Caleb, and Aunt Nicole. Grandma and Grandpa Temm came right away.

They were here when we got back from the birth center and stayed through Wednesday morning. Then Grandma and Grandpa Farr came Wednesday night and stayed until Sunday afternoon. Jess, Jonathon, and Caleb all came on Thursday and stayed until Saturday night.

Now Aunt Nicole is here to visit until Sunday afternoon.

It has been lots of fun to have all the company, the nice thing is that since we have a newborn we don't even have to entertain, Jaxson takes care of that for us. We also don't even have to worry about keeping a clean house. Actually if it is messy then they clean it for us. This seems to be working really well!

Relaxin' Jaxson

We found that he really likes to lay all spread out. We think it is really funny and cute since most babies like to be swaddled up all nice and tight.

He's Here!

Little Jaxson decided to come this morning at 10:04. He weighs 9 lbs 10 1/2 oz and is 21 1/2 inches long. Mom and baby are both doing great!

We will update you all soon. We need to get some sleep.... or try! :)

Just waiting...39 weeks yesterday!!

 

Revelation Revealed

 
Here are some pictures of what Mike and the production team at the church have been doing. He and Jason worked TONS of hours the week before getting this set ready. It is a 12-week series so thankfully everyone will be able to enjoy it for a few weeks.  Like I've said before, Mike is loving his job and enjoys the challenge and opportunity to create stage sets. And let me just say, he does a phenomenal job!! It's been great to be beside him and not only see the finished project, but to get to hear his ideas. I get a glimpse of what he sees before the final product is revealed.  This particular week you see pictured, was the first week of the series and they did a "reveal drop" during the first song. It was a breath-taker. Getting to see it all happen live at a couple of the services made me more proud of Mike and all of his hard work.   Really, it's something you'd have to see for yourself, I can't put it into words. In the other pictures, you can see that the screen and truss moved down while the "Revelation Revealed" moved up. Again, a very cool worship experience that added so much to the morning. It was exciting to see everything fall into place after the team had worked so hard!
