Titus and Elsa really do love their baby brother. Tonight, Oscar cried when we picked him up to leave the room so Titus and Elsa could go to bed. He was having too much fun. Sure looks like Oscar loves his big brother and big sister too!

PJ Party
Bedtime can be a fun time with the family, even if we get a little silly at times. Oscar wanted to join in on the fun and the kids thought it would be fun to lay on the floor and "act like a baby".

Happy Easter 2012
Today is the day we celebrate that our Savior, Jesus Christ is risen! We are thankful that our family was able to be together on Easter and this picture is our first as a family of five.
We are reminded today that our God loved us so much that he sent His only son to die a horrible death on a cross to bear God's wrath against our sins. Jesus served as our substitute and took the the punishment we deserved. We believe that death was not the end of our Savior, but that God raised Jesus from the dead, so that now we not only share in his death (the death of our sins), but also in His life eternal. But not only do we share in His eternal life, free from the penalty of sin, but we are also adopted into God's family as heirs to Jesus' kingdom!
How amazing is that? God, from the beginning of time, had made a plan to adopt us into His family as his children. This vertical adoption is something that all Christians share. We are all adopted into God's Family. We hope to share this picture of vertical adoption to our family and friends more clearly through the lens of Oscar's adoption.
Just remember a key difference between God's adoption of us and our adoption of Oscar. God loved us and chose to adopt us when were were not lovely. We were mired in sin, something completely opposed to God. How ugly were we to God? See Isaiah 64:6 and Philippians 3:7-9 for what even our best looked like to God apart from Christ. Oscar, on the other hand, is warm and snugly; a cute little baby. He is easy to love.

Oscar Reid Carnahan
Oscar was born March 2, 2012 at 4:27pm, and weighed in at 3 pounds 8 ounces and was 15 inches long. He was born in Florida and Jordan and Tiffany made it just in time for Oscar to come into the world 7 weeks early from his due date. After a month's stay in Florida, we are healthy, growing and happy to be home.
