May the Lord in wondrous mercy,
Cause your 'little plant' to grow,
With the 'lillies' of his raising
Where His own pure waters flow.
As a 'little plant' before Him,
May the tender sapling shoot,
And in His appointed season,
Bear the Lord enduring fruit.
Train them by the Holy precepts,
With a dresser's tender care;
Looking to the Lord for guidance,
He is true; and answers prayer.
Watch the 'little shoots' of nature,
And in pruning careful be,
For the knife unwisely wielded,
Often spoils the finest tree.
Prayer will keep the 'weeds' from
gaining
Strength in your domestic soil.
Prayer will help you in attaining
Those fond hopes that none can foil.
Prayer will keep the 'little foxes';
O how watchful you should be!
For they often do such damage
To the little 'growing tree.'
May our gracious God in mercy,
Early save the little one;
And to the dear praying parents,
Wisdom give through His dear Son.

Cute photos! That was a lot of fun, we need to go to the beach more often. Next time I think we will stick with the grassy area!

You seem to have trouble with image scaling since you switched to your new server.
The thumbnails posted above are all 4000+ pixels wide, making the page impossibly-slow to load.

Thanks J.
Wordpress 2.6 “appeared” to have adequate image capability built in, but evidently we are going to need to go back to a plugin like Power Thumbnail or such like.
It was hard to notice it was not generating thumbnails, but resizing the original very large images.
We are also dropping down from 12 megapixel to 6 megapixel with the camera to help with this issue.
I’ll work on it. The 12 megapixels will have to remain. I don’t want to resize them, but I can at least provide thumbnails that are acceptable, and the larger images can be viewed 1 at a time.

J,
I think it is correctly resizing photos and making thumbnails now.
