Hello There, Smiley

Such a Blessing!

The thing that stands out to me the most from Myra's beautiful baby blessing (given by her daddy) was that she was blessed to be a peacemaker in our home. I'm already seeing this happen. She brings all of us so much peace and happiness. We all adore her and that will never change. She is absolutely the perfect addition to our family. Here are pictures from the special day:

And here's a little peak from the past...

Did you know Myra was blessed in the same blessing dress as her mommy?

And here's Myra in it...

I love you, Myra. In my eyes you are perfection.

Love

I just read a scripture about love that I loved:

"God is love;

and he who dwelleth in love dwelleth in God,

and God in him."

-1 John 4:16-

Happy Valentine's Day!

(More blessing pictures coming soon.)

Sunday Best

We took Myra to church for the first time today. It was so nice to go as a family again. We picked a good day to go back...there was soup and bread after the meetings. They do that here about once a month. It's one of those things I LOVE about church here!

Brown Eyed Boy

After we put Glade and Jimmy to bed tonight, Glade kept getting up over and over again. I'm not sure why. Usually I would be annoyed and eventually impatient with him. However, he just kept staring at me with those gorgeous big brown eyes and saying, "I want Mommy." And of course I melted. Because how can you say no to, "I want a kiss" even if he says it 10 times in a row? Some day he won't be asking me for those.

One Month Ago

This edited version contains less blood, tears, & nakedness (you're welcome)! Hopefully it's blog appropriate! :)

I hope you enjoy a glimpse of the miracle we experienced that morning.

Such a Boy!

I was shopping for a few groceries today with the 3 kiddos.

Jimmy said, "Mom, why are you buying more light bullets?"

He meant light bulbs.

With boys everything can be made dirty or violent!
