Cole's Deep Sea Prayer

Cole: Dear God, thank you for jellyfish, and thank you for whales, and thank you for squid, and thank you for octopus, and thank you for tube worms, and thank you for viperfish, and thank you for hatchetfish, and thank you for tube worms, and thank you for deep sea spiders, and thank you for viperfish, and thank you for....what else, mommy? 

Mommy: Anglerfish

Cole: and thank you for anglerfish.  In Jesus's name, Amen.

Test Shoot and Cole Prays.

 Cole helped me do a test shoot the other day for a client who was considering booking me for her son's Bar Mitzvah!

 She was concerned with the lighting in this place (all neon...awesome...see below) so I borrowed a flash from a friend to see what we could do.

 It worked like a charm.  A flash may be a needed piece of equipment in the future!

 They are doing a teenage night club theme.  This really is a neat venue.

Especially if you are a kid at heart...look at all those pin ball machines!!!

After we read his Bible every night, we pray and Cole ends the prayer with his special prayer requests..

Cole prays for "Mommy, Daddy, Grandmas, Pop Pop, Grandpa, Bear, Yogi, Uncle Matthew, Aunt Krista, Uncle Chris, and Granny, etc (I love how he prays for my parents' dogs and they get top billing over the aunts and uncle and great grands)...."  Tonight he also included that he was thankful for Cheez-its.  Sometimes he is thankful for trains and cars, but tonight it was cheez-its.  We thought he was saying "Jesus".  Sometimes he does say Jesus, but tonight it was just Cheez-its.

I also love how he picks up on things we talk about.  We tell him about how we are filling some shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child or how we are giving toys to children in Joplin who have no toys (after the tornadoes).  Last week he said "I want to go to the store and get toys for children who have no toys" (you need to hear him say "children"...it will melt your heart).  I am looking forward to the Operation Christmas Child boxes this year.  I think it will be such a joy to see him being a joyful giver to the "chillren" who have no toys.
