Bubbles



Have you ever watched Finding Nemo? Well, if your family is like ours Finding Nemo is a dear movie to you.  For us it was the first 3D movie that we took Nolan specifically to go see (and thirty minutes later taking him out of the theater because he started clawing his way up Steve out of fear of the diver!).  We have since then seen Nemo all the way through a million times and I find myself quoting that movie all the time!  It was hard not to start yelling "BUBBLES!" when you see them like yesterday when Nolan tried to teach Jane all about bubbles. 

Yes, mommy was making you look into the sun for pictures...oops.

Bubble blowing is serious work.



Don't you just love her double chin! and those CHEEKS! It's hard not to kiss them all the time!

Spring Oh I Want To Go Outside!

Today, is ones of those days when God's grace is truly evident.  It's beautiful outside, and with new garden beds, rose bushes, flowers, and so much more to plant I'm amazed I'm still in.  But today is not about me.

No, today is about Jane.  She is teething, and has a head cold complete with cough.  Because of her cold it is hard for her to go asleep let alone stay asleep. So, I get to hold her.  Hold her when she coughs herself awake, hold her as she cries, hold her to just give her peace.

Her cold blossomed on Thursday, and it's been hard on the family but that is where God's grace comes in. As I rock her I've been reading blogs on my phone and there is an amazing amount of encouraging mom posts out there! Like Creative Little House, imperfect homemaking,
Love Taza,& Merrick's Art. How amazing to know that A. God supplies the needs of my heart and B. That I'm not the only one calling on his name for help.

So, as I hold my baby girl and the laundry piles up, dinner needs to be made, and N plays trains in the buff (long explanation, I'll tell you later) I'm falling more and more into God's grace.

What are your goals?

A happy life?
to impact people for God?
Peace?
Adventure?
routine?
To create?
To survive?
To just keep up? Be like everyone else.

Why do you do things?
Because I want to.
Because I'm embarrassed not to.
Because it's right.
Because I'll benefit the most in the long run.

Just thinking....


Life Accordingly

Rom8:18 NASB

"18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us."

Raising children is hard, especially godly children, but it's worth it.
