I have no idea what this is called, but it is Palmer's new move. Maybe he has been sneaking away to yoga class.

Perspective
Like most things in life, the way you view the temperature has a lot to do with perspective! After many days in a row of below freezing temperatures, 48 degrees felt like a heat wave! What do you do during a heat wave? Play outside of course!
Then we of course had to relax and watch the big game! Way to go Manning and the Broncos!

The Baby Box
Social media has helped spread this video far and wide this week. Most of my friends in the adoption community have seen this video, but it has also been shared by lots of folks outside the adoption world this week. If you haven't watched the video, take 3 minutes and watch. The director of the movie, Brian Ivie, came to know Christ while producing the film.
I am in no way an expert on the cultural stigmas in Korea that make the baby box necessary, but if you are looking to learn more, I've compiled some helpful links that you can check out!
Above all, pray for Pastor Lee and his wife as they care for babies that might otherwise be left on the streets.
My friend Karen traveled to Korea in 2012 and was able to meet Pastor Lee. Here are a few of her posts that might help give a little background on the Baby Box:

Pastor Eddie Byun in Korea recently interviewed Pastor Lee. The article below gives a great synopsis of the ministry and ways you can get involved. Specific prayer requests are listed.

Christmas Cheer {Brothers and Cousins}
Thanks Brandon for capturing these special moments!
P.S. My nickname from my parents has always been Tiger. Apparently when I was little, I would growl like a tiger when I got upset. I would say this is Palmer's tiger face! Go get 'em Palmer!
2013 {in retrospect...the short version}
2013 was full!
Jesus was near.
Palmer was born. My dad died.
We found joy in the midst of sorrow.
Jesus carried us when we couldn't walk and he continues to do so.
