Mommy cut Emilie's hair a few days ago...here is what it looks like. We think it's cute! :DIn other news...we went to visit and stayed with Great-grandmum and grandmum for a few days. The kids had fun!Here's the gang with Grandmum and Great-Grandmum.

Monday Gratitudes

2010-04-12T23:26:00.002+01:00

Today I'm happy! Changes are in the air...I haven't a clue what the future holds but I feel excited! Quirky crazy kids. Cheesecake (waaay too much for my own good!). Jogging in the sun. The Lord's never-ending care and abundant supply! Caring parents. A good friend that lives too far away but is always there when I need her. Hot showers!Monday's are actually my favorite day of the week! We'll

Happiness in the small things...

Jesus saying, "You don't have to be perfect for Me to love you!"7. New Beginnings...Happiness!

When Everything Falls Apart

2010-04-03T13:19:00.004+01:00

I go through phases in my life where I feel that everything is falling apart ...or will fall apart...but the Lord always gets me through that phase and I'm learning to just trust Him and know that even though what I'm feeling at that moment is so real, He's much bigger than what I'm going through and he's gonna pull me out of it in His time. He's done it every time. I just throw myself into Him!

Of Easter Gardens and such...

2010-03-29T20:34:00.008+01:00

I got a note from Alex's school letting me know that there will be an Easter Garden Competition in a few days!Me:" (Panic!)Uhhhh, what is an Easter Garden?"I'd never heard of one before...Thank God for Google, heh! This is what we ended up with and he (and by he I mean WE :P) won the competition! Hooooray!! I'm learning a lot with my kids going to school...so many things to keep up with and yet

These were taken at Emilie's Preschool...so up her alley :-) My girlie girl

"I'm too tricksy for my own good"...

2010-03-11T18:50:00.002Z

The other night I was talking with the girlies about sleep walking, sleep talking, etc...Tisha pipes up and says, "the other night when I got out of bed and was playing, I was sleep disobeying!" Heh! The things she comes up with! :D

Beautiful Song

2010-02-23T21:40:00.000Z

"Love Them Like Jesus" The love of her life is drifting awayThey're losing the fight for another dayThe life that she's known is falling apartA fatherless home, a child's broken heartYou're holding her hand, you're straining for wordsYou trying to make - sense of it allShe's desperate for hope, darkness clouding her viewShe's looking to youJust love her like Jesus, carry her to HimHis yoke is

Sweet Story

2010-02-13T15:49:00.000Z

Good morning said a woman as she walked up to the man sitting on ground.The man slowly looked up.This was a woman clearly accustomed to the finer things of life. Her coat was new.. She looked like she had never missed a meal in her life.His first thought was that she wanted to make fun of him, like so many others had done before.. "Leave me alone," he growled....To his amazement, the woman

Sam passed his driving test!! Hurrah!!

2010-02-09T13:04:00.000Z

Love lets the past die...

2010-02-08T22:56:00.002Z

Love lets the past die. It moves people to a new beginning without settling the past. Love does not have to clear up all past misunderstandings. The details of the past become irrelevant; only its new beginning matters. Accounts may go unsettled; differences remain unsolved; ledgers stay unbalanced. Conflicts between people's memories of how things happened are not cleared up; the past stays

Cute pic of the man...

2010-02-08T12:21:00.000Z

Sam will be taking his driving test next Tuesday (Feb9th)!!

2010-02-05T10:02:00.004Z

Please pray he passes and that it's easy, that he's not nervous, etc! :D It's been almost two years of not being able to drive...it'll be nice to finally be able to go out as a family, heh!

2010-01-25T22:08:00.003Z

My mom has been visiting here for the past two weeks. It's been lovely having her here. It's been so long since I've been able to spend time with her like this (probably 8 years). I saw her two years ago...but we didn't spend any time together, so this is nice. She's going be living here-- taking care of my Grandmum. It'll be nice having her close by.

2009-11-14T14:15:00.004Z

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. -- George Bernard Shaw - (A Splendid Torch)

Happy Birthday Tisha!!

2009-11-08T20:20:00.006Z

Today is Tisha's birthday! She's 3! I can't believe how fast she's grown. We had a fun birthday today. She got to go out with mommy, have an ice-cream, come home to a wonderful cake-making session. She got to hang out in the her favorite room most of the day (the KITCHEN!!!--haha!). She made her own cake. Alex put together a little treasure hunt for her...she enjoyed that! It was a fun day full

Still alive! :)
