Strawberry Jam Smile


My sweet baby girl is sick. She has had a fever since Monday night...sigh. However, despite the way she may feel, she can give me a smile. I know how awful she must feel because she is usually bouncing off the walls, but when she is sick, she just lays still. I just happened to have my camera out & she was laying with the dogs and just as happy as could be and she gave me this.......Strawberry jam smile. Hoping for a quick recovery from this little bug she has....be back soon!

Seven Prayers A Day

Angie over at Bring the Rain has a beautiful idea...prayer for our children. Not just simple prayers, but specific prayers at certain times of the day. It is described as Seven Prayers A Day. Take a moment and read all about it. It has been a huge impact on my daily life & I feel like Z is learning to appreciate the time we spend together with God!

I have written them down on index cards & on the other side written out the passage referenced. This way I have a prayer & a bible verse at the same time.

The sweet, sweet sounds...

I am sitting in the office fooling around on the computer and help but overhear Z singing to Psalty's Songs for Lil' Praisers:Follow the Leader Jesus! .. They are singing and dancing & Z can't help herself..she loves it. I brightens my day to hear her singing about Jesus and how wonderful he is.

Just one song that makes me smile...( I only remember some verses, I know there are so many more.) I hope this will brighten your day and have an uplifting song in your head all day long!!!!!

He's got the whole world in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands.

He's got my brothers and my sisters in His hands,
He's got my brothers and my sisters in His hands,
He's got my brothers and my sisters in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands.

He's got the little bity baby in His hands,
He's got the little bity baby in His hands,
He's got the little bity baby in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands.

He's got the sun and the rain in His hands,
He's got the moon and the stars in His hands,
He's got the wind and the clouds in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands.

He's got the rivers and the mountains in His hands,
He's got the oceans and the seas in His hands,
He's got you and he's got me in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands.

He's got everybody here in His hands,
He's got everybody there in His hands,
He's got everybody everywhere in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands.

A Year in Review..


I downloaded the coolest program called Picasa 3. It is so cool all the things you can do to your photos. This Collage is of my baby girl. From her 1st birthday to just past her 2nd! What joy it brings me to see all the phases she has been through. I just love this feature!!!

Potty Time




So, Z has been so interested in getting on the toilet. A friend gave us a small toilet that sits on the floor & then we have a Dora one that goes on the toilet. Things have been pretty exciting! Multiple attempts in a day to go to the bathroom like a big girl! We have had a few successes and a few misses!! But to see the joy in her eyes as she sits pretty on the potty trying to go, just melts my heart.

She is getting so big! I knew this day would come, but I hoped it would be slower:0( Anyway, things are definitely moving along.

Happy Father's Day


One of the most precious gifts
From Heaven above
Is the gift of a daughter
For a Daddy to love.

Learning..

It amazes me at how quickly our children learn from us. Z is a 22 month old sponge. She sees and hears everything we do. Then she does it..her vocabulary is still not quite there. She loves to help make dinner, clean up after dinner, wash dishes, set the table, feed her babies, bring in the milk, fold laundry, feed the dogs, comb my hair...ouch:0), take phone calls, put her babies & mommy to sleep, just to name a few. I blows me away how much they are learning. I have been having such a tough time thinking I am not teaching her enough. clearly I am.

Lately she has been so into playing "mommy". You will notice her loving her baby & nursing her just like mommy. How precious that she understands how to nurture a baby. This to me makes me realize how God is with us...so gentle and always teaching us. Now, we just have to listen!!!! All the wonderful things to learn as children and then again as adults.



Z reminds me everyday that I am still a child in God's eyes & he wants to teach me. I know if I fix my eyes on him I will learn to walk in his footsteps & be able to guide my children down his path as well. Amazing, the simple everyday things that go on around us always bring us back to our center, GOD!

Silly girls and cute clothes

HAHA..Oh how they can make you laugh and cry in the same moment. She is getting so big. What a sense of humor she has. Always being silly. I can't get enough of it. Such energy. Just look at the fun time she is having!
















I started making her this adorable vest from Debbie Bliss... I can't wait to see her in this. The baby cashmerino is so soft. This is going to be so sweet on her.

Bouncing around

What energy these kids have. We went to a birthday party and Z jumped in a huge inflatable all night. She had a blast. The funniest thing though is she is so tiny that she just flies up in the air everytime someone bounces...hahaha! Lots of fun.

This was the same night as the birthday party we were going to. Bela loved her legwarmers! What a hit they were & how cute!!
