Its a lot of fun to log on to facebook and flip through pictures of people you love every now and again.
Here are some photos of Beth that are some of my favorites:
This next one is a drawing by Beth’s cousin, Josiah, circa Thanksgiving 2003:

Abbey was recently introduced to a new toy and a new band.
The band?
Death Cab for Cutie, with all its literate angst and Northwestern coolness.
The toy?
You’ll see:
. . . . .
You know what that means, don’t you?
Abbey has updated her Christmas list.
To her first draft of shiny paper, bright-colored ribbon, cardboard boxes, and cuddly diapers, we now add … an iPhone.
Let the madness begin.
Had to clean her up first - she started eating dirt
Alrighty, now we are ready
Sweet little bug
just checking things out - it is virtually impossible for her to fall over
a view of the back
We tried to see if she would be able to even roll over in her fat suit, when...
abbey tried to eat a lady bug
unbelievable!
so I intervened - I had no choice
not a happy camper... just didn't understand why that bug could not go in her mouth
so Lee remedied the situation in the way only a he can - instant delight!
Is that you???
I will answer this once and for all.
No!
The girl in the middle is not me, though we do share a striking resemblence.
Is this a rite of passage for a new dad?
Beth here -
We went to the pumpkin patch with the Autry’s and had a blast.
Here is a preview of what’s to come:
In honor of Nate and Hannah Williams’ My Music Monday, I have decided that I am going to introduce a new blogging tradition.
Despite being from Austin, Texas, it wasn’t until I was married and living in Louisville, Kentucky that I really began to value great music – music that reflects the creative image-of-god-ness that shows itself in humanity in various ways.
Some of the music will be lyrically Christian but, in all likelihood, most will not.
Either way, the hope is that I might be able to help you get your week started with the “right note“.
(as an aside, Beth hates most of the music I love – just so you know)
. . . . . .
Here’s a little music that originates from another “in honor of” shout out, this time to Jason Nichter, who passed me a burned copy of “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix” by the band Phoenix (which I promptly lost).
With a friendly nudge (and a well placed jab for losing the cd) from Jason, I downloaded Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix and it quickly moved to the top of my album rotation.
You can be confident that if you like the YouTube clip below, you will dig Phoenix’ entire album:
(CAUTION, if you are prone to light induced epileptic seizures, do NOT watch this video – or it will go badly for you)
Feel free to read up more about the album over at Paste Magazine.

What do you value in “good music”?
In your opinion, how do you define what “good” music is?
So on most Wednesday mornings, Lizzi and Quinn get to come over and play at the Wilson pad.
Meet the Worley kiddos. Quinn on the left, Lizzi in the middle, and then there’s Abbey in the back.
They are an animated bunch.
Lizzi is just a little over 2 and Quinn is just about the same age as Abbey.
I was able to snap a few photos from last week – mainly focus on the many faces of Quinn.
So here they are: Quinn, Lizzi, and Abbey
Quinn could not quite figure out the whole smile thing
Still confused
Please note, he sat in this position for about ten minutes.
Abbey tried to reassure him it was ok... he was still perplexed.
"This is how you smile, Quinn"
Abbey gave up and proceded to play with Kaplan's toy he left behind. Quinn - still motionless.
"Hey is that Kaplan's? He would want me to have that."
"Because you can overpower me, I will let you have it"
"Something is in my pants"
"Yes, something is definitely in my pants."
Beth here -
Lee asked me to create a post with some recent pictures of Abbey. So here it goes.
These pictures were taken just a few weeks back.
I am normally the one behind the camera, but this particular day Lee wanted to capture some pictures of Abbey and me.
It was a great day.
I seem to enjoy each new stage more than the last. God has been so good to give us little Abbey Ruth.
Big news this week, sweet baby Jane Rogers was born on 9/9/09:
Baby Jane’s Daddy and Mom are two of our favorite people in the world – they’re gonna be great parents.
Let it be known, blog followers, that the Rogers gave us Wilsons a healthy dose of what many of you experienced after our Abbey’s birth …. I think Beth must have checked the Roger’s blog and Facebook pages about 200 times before they were able to post pictures of baby Jane.
. . . . . .
In other big news, mad props to Jason Nichter for taming a wild stallion, one of his personal goals for the year.
. . . . . .
Finally, we are currently in Northeast Arkansas at Crowley Ridge State Park, where Lee is preaching through the book of Colossians for the University of Memphis Baptist Collegiate Ministries.
Good times are being had by all.
