Good Friends...

We are blessed to have good friends. Friends who will have fun with you and love your kids as if they were their own. Friends whom, when your son calls to tell them that he made Jesus the king of his life, send him a card in the mail and give him a little gift to celebrate. Friends that will text me to make sure I spent time in the Word today. Thank you, Lord, for dear friends and sisters.

We were joking around...posing like the the "young'uns" do these days, and my mom was just snapping away. This one makes me laugh. I'm a dweeb, Julie on the right is a dweeb with me, and Faith is just plain mortified to be seen with us! Ha!

My kids are blessed to have good friends. Friends who will swing and swing and swing with them...
I think Jack and David spent over and hour swinging. So sweet.

And friends they can be silly with....

Birthday Girl...


My baby girl is 3. Firmly past any form of babyhood and quickly leaving toddlerhood for a preschooler. I was reminiscing about the night she was born with a friend today. Weird how it can seem so long ago and yet like it was just yesterday at the same time.

Her arrival into this world definitely matches her personality....fast and furious....and on her own time table. But, my goodness, does this Little Miss bring a lot of joy, laughter, cuddles....and a fair amount of hair pulling... into our lives.

She is a humorous mixture of tomboy and princess all rolled into one curly headed child. She will squat down to talk to a bug, then squash it and walk away. She will ask me if I am ok if she ever thinks I am in pain. And she still likes me to kiss her owies. Her little arms snake around your neck for the best hugs and she sings "Twinkle Twinkle" and "You Are My Sunshine" at the top of her lungs with her Daddy every night.For some odd reason, I have always called her "Lou". Not sure why. But recently, when telling her "goodnight, Lou" as I leave her room, she calls after me, "I'm not glue!".
We love you Miss Molly Lou Glue!
