We have enjoyed 2 of the last 3 weeks at the beach. It was Evan's 1st trip and he loves the beach. His favorite part (of course) was eating the sand! He just couldn't get enough of it. We really enjoyed spending some relaxing time with family especially after all we have had going on the past few months. Our last trip was plagued by the stomach bug but we still had fun spending time together, even if we were all sick. Evan enjoyed lots of 1st including his 1st time being sick. He had a stomach virus, ear infection and on top of all that, he has about 5 teeth coming in at once. So needless to say, he has not been a happy camper this past week. But he is finally getting back to his happy self. Here are some pics from all the beach trips. Enjoy!
I started this blog so that all of our friends and family could keep up with the Hicklins! We welcomed a new son, Evan John Hicklin into our lives on December 2,2008 and every day has been so special with him. We never knew how much love you could have for a baby until we met him. He brings so much love and joy to our lives and we look forward to many years together.
"If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part; but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.
