About Life

This photo was taken last year around Easter...for some reason I cannot find a photo of them in the Easter outfits...
I hand smocked Merideth her dress last year, sure wish I could find the photo! Oh well hold out in anticipation of this years dress...it has smocked bunnies!
About life...
It is not suprising that He hears us and answers us and holds us in his grip. Gives us answers when we don't think there are any. Gives us peace in ways we did not expect. He is good and He is ALIVE!


So a better day around here...still moving slow. I am going to take a rest, a short one as Merideth calls the nap!


Have a great Easter...

My sweet little somethings! I love them so much. They are being very patient with me today!! I have been up since 5:30am! Oh my word. I have not been up this early in a while. Stephen was snoring and I just couldn't sleep. I didn't want to take another pink pill because I will be alone with the kids so Tylenol it is. It is working fine. We have had a great morning. We have rocked, done school, read, made muffins, read and done laundry. I am washing all the rugs today. Hopefully the buyer for this house will show up soon!! Please pray with me in Jesus name!! Later I am going to call in a professional vacuumer. Whitney does a great job and I can't do it yet. Well I better go and figure out lunch! ...then I am taking a nap!

Hello! So while we were on our cruise Dale and Merideth stayed with my parents at the farm. While there I guess they were flipping through channels on tv and the scene in Titanic was on where they stand on the bow of the boat. Well the kids recreated that shot! Another funny thing is that they really wanted Stephen and I too also...but you can't get to the front of the boat/ship! BUT we do have a photo of us in the front of a boat....I will post it later! I just love this photo...it shows the girly side to my Merideth and then Dale, being all boy, not wanting to do this but doing it b/c he loves us...Mother and Daddy emailed us this while we were gone. It made us miss them even more!!

The cruise was great, but we missed the kids. I will do a post just about the trip later...

I have other things on my mind.

Today it has hit me hard that we move in less than 2 months. I was doing the April budget. I suddenly realized that is the last full month we will live here. Oh I can feel the ache of homesick already. I am going to miss my Mother and Daddy so much. I feel like a little baby just thinking about it. Those who knew me when Stephen and I made our first ever AF move will remember how homesick I got. It was bad. This move feels like that. I am excited about what lies ahead but very nervous about being away. Also we still have not sold our house. We changed Realtors. Please pray it happens soon!!

Well I am gonna go and get supper ready...Meatloaf tonight!!
