Well, Bless my heart!

Hey, check it out! I stopped in to see what Ellajac had been up to and I saw this! An award! For me! Can you tell I'm excited?!

This is wayyy better than that 6th grade Shop award. Now whom shall pass this award on to? I think you're all lovely, but I am going to narrow it down to 3, okeydokey?

First of all, I am going to award Melanie. I think she's such a great digi-scrapper and has the cutest blog backgrounds, pictures, everything! She is also so honest and real in her posts.

Next, I am passing it along to...Heather. I like how she has all her cute little pictures and Bible verses on her blog. She keeps me smiling with her stories about first-time Mommyhood! (She's soon to be an "old-hand" at this though, as Baby #2 comes along!)

And last, but not least, I will award my real-life-friend-since-9th-grade, Cayce. She's a hardworking Mama, trying to keep it all together with her crazy schedules and sometimes-equally-as-crazy boys!

So, thanks again, Ellajac, I feel honored!

I'm Thankful For...

Sweet little cuddly babies!










Energetic little boys!











A Husband that gives early Christmas presents!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Isn't it amazing?

Isn't it absolutely amazing what God can do with the tiny little life of a child? When parents like these chose LIFE for their children, He is so glorified. No matter how long, whether it be 1 hour, 18 days, or 99 days, God has a perfect plan for every second of these little lives.

Pay It Forward

Okay, time for a little fun! I am taking a break from unpacking to play this little game. My friend, Cayce, issued this challenge on her blog, so I am willing to play along!

Here's how it will work...

I will send a gift (a surprise!!) to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this "PIF" exchange, and who make the same pledge on their own blog. The only thing you have to do in return is PAY IT FORWARD - on your own blog. So, if you want to get a goodie from me, and are willing to "Pay it Forward," let me know! I'd just love to send out a fun little present to you!!!

Note I'll need your real (snail mail) address... which you can do by private email. I have most of my "readers' " email addresses/home addresses. But if I don't have yours, leave a comment with your email, which I WILL NOT POST. Okay?


Ready.....set....GO!

Please pray for Evan

Hey guys. I just wanted to ask for some help praying for my little buddy Evan, who has epilepsy. His Mom and Dad are good friends of ours. They've been going through so much lately; I can't even imagine weathering all the storms they have. Their daily life reminds me to be thankful for every day that my children are "healthy" and safe.
