My Birthday!

Brad and my friends as always make me feel loved and appreciated on my birthday. I cringe at all the attention but also love seeing how much people care... I know, it's weird! I wish i could explain it! The Lord has blessed me beyond measure with great people in my life. I have always missed my family but HE has abundantly blessed me with people who reach out and show me love, truth, and encouragement when I need it! They are my family now...:) I feel incredibly blessed to be a daughter of the Most High, wife to a great husband, and momma to 2 sweet boys who fill my heart and life with laughter and joy.

Picking up

After Eli's nap today I found his socks that he had on today in his basket... He had taken them off and tried to put them away!!! Normally they are on the floor! Yes they were in the wrong place but he tried to put them away without me asking him to!

Fun at the Park

We went to Murphy park today to feed the ducks! It was a beautiful day and everyone had fun! The highlight for Connor were the swings...he loves them! We made a stop at the playground too... Eli can climb up to the highest slide now without fear. I'm so glad! Connor is ok with the slides but he prefers the swings. :)

Eli's NEW Big boy bed

Eli moved into a BIG BOY bed! He never started climbing out of his crib so we didn't see the urgency in changing his crib until now. With Baby number 3 coming Eli will be moving into an even bigger Big Boy bed in his new room so we decided that we needed to start getting him aquainted with the toddler bed. We had been talking about the upcoming change for the past couple of weeks. The night of the transition we fully expected a fight. So..we armed ourselves with a toy that he picked out at Walmart and another conversation of the new expectations that come along with the new freedoms that he has. HE DID GREAT and continues to do so! Wait. I have to say that after I left the room the first night he got up and stood against his bed and looked around. I popped back in his room and told him to get back in his bed. He asked "Get down Momma?" and I said no Eli, not until the morning. He stayed put and has ever since! :) When he gets up in the morning he calls for me to come get him. Most of the time he lays in his bed until I get there or we find him sitting in the chair waiting for us. Sweety...I love how compliant he has been with this! I am so proud!

While they were sleeping

I found this little book and I began using it daily. While the boys are sleeping I pray for specific spiritual qualities to be present in their hearts. GREAT BOOK!!
