Worship

I believe there is a filter in heaven. My in-tune yet unpleasant sounding singing voice must sound beautiful in heaven. I just wish that it sounded sweet here I wish I could worship with a sound like this.

All the Little Faces

We live in a bubble–in a sweet, safe, comfortable place. Shame on us for taking it for granted. I wish everyone could see what I saw when I traveled to Vietnam and Africa. You never really know until you have to face the truth.

July 3rd Picnic

We try to have a picnic every year on July 3rd. We plan it for the night the local hotel has their fireworks. Last year we were rained out. Not this year! We celebrated the 4th and Gracia’s first birthday. Chef Schoff cooked up the eats while the kids tested the yard toys and the big kids loved on my babies. Awesome friends, family, and fireworks! This year was the best picnic EVER! Can’t wait until next year.

Jonah is becoming such a big boy. I just don’t know where the time goes. Seems like yesterday that he was just a baby. He’s talking up a storm now, tho sometimes I don’t understand what he’s saying. His favorite thing to do is play in his kitchen. His specialty is pizza. Jonah also enjoys making eggs. I’ve watched him crack them open on the corner of his stove and drop them right into the pan. He’s very good at it and never drops a shell into his creations

When these photos were taken, I had asked Jonah if he wanted to hold Ben. He immediately put his arms out. He climbed onto the chair and held Ben for the first time. He likes to try to make Ben laugh and he enjoys playing peek-a-boo with him.

Jonah didn’t like it when Gracia came home. He had a really hard time for a while. I didn’t know what would happen when Ben came home. And I wasn’t looking forward to finding out how he would react. With both babies, Jonah went thru a honeymoon period. When he figured out that they were staying, that’s when things went downhill. Fortunately, that only lasted about a week with Ben. I think Jonah knows that he’s just a baby and he really does like him.

Mommy: Jonah, would you please pick that up for mommy?

Jonah: Yeah. (he picks it up, hands it to me.) tank you.

Mommy: Thank you, sweety.

Jonah: Tank you, sweety.

Mommy: Jonah, you’re such a good boy!

Jonah: Yeah!

This boy is as sweet as they come. He fills my days with laughter.

And We Were Swingin’

Looky, Looky! My farmer finished the playset.

Friends

With the help of the kids’ Uncle Steve and Austin, it is together. Thanks guys! My farmer did a really good job putting this together after his helpers left. It took him quite a bit of time and it looks great! The big kids love to swing. Jonah loves to give me his ticket to climb the ladder and go down the slide. He’s such a big boy!

I have so much to catch up on. This is just the beginning. I had a minute so I thought I’d get started with the playset. Mr. McGillicutty has been a little fussy (which isn’t normal) the past few days. I had a meal to make for a friend and wasn’t able to until this morning because Mr. McGillicutty wouldn’t let me put him down. I don’t mind. I’m starting research on a drug that will keep him small and cuddly forever.

Calling all playmates! Let’s set a date!

Stay tuned…more posts and photos to come.

Fun Finds

I’m behind on my posting. I have lots that I want to post about but haven’t taken the time. Between Ben and the “big” kids, I’ve been pretty busy. I’m slowly getting myself together with the three of them.

I did find time to go shopping-on the web. I find lots of good things on other blogs so I thought I’d share my latest finds.

Diaper covers! Ben and Gracia have baby wranglers from Langston’s. And Gracia has a pretty pair of bloomers from Kelly at kasboutique. I bought a few of the bloomers for gifts. I think they are just adorable! And Kelly is great to work with!

I have another surprise coming but I’ll post that when it gets here since I’ll have to model it myself.

I hope you’re enjoying this beautiful spring day! I’ll be taking the kids to the park after their naps.
