God is so good to us. We are blessed! This week He has answered our prayers in two areas. First, my Princess' rash is almost completely gone. We don't know what caused it, or what it really was, but I am just thankful we serve a God who cares about the small things like a rash.The second great news is that we received a letter today from the Pacific Union Conference. About two weeks ago, my wonderful husband, sat before a committee to be interviewed for ordination in the Seventh-day Adventist … [Read more...]
Prayer Request
So a week and a half ago we noticed a rash on the Princess' back. We thought it might be a heat rash or a contact rash. (It was pretty hot in Paris, especially on the Subway and we had to wash laundry in Nottingham in regular detergent.) After the weekend ended, the rash did not appear to be going away. We decided to take her to a pediatrician who told us not to worry. He said that almost all children get rashes and they are not serious. She never had a fever so we have not worried too much. He … [Read more...]
Home Alone
It is strange to be home alone. My parents took the Princess to church while I stayed home to relax. It is funny that as a mommy all you want is a break, just a small one each day. But once you are apart from your child, then you miss them. Crazy! (Maybe she did drive me crazy after all?) I have been watching National Geographic, reading How to Help Your Child Really Love Jesus, twittering (click to follow me), visiting blogs (click if you want to enter over 100 giveaways), and just plain trying … [Read more...]
Sunday Not So Funnies
At shower time last night I was pulling my contacts out of my eyes and putting on a shower cap when I heard a splashing sound behind me. My naked Princess was smiling as she was smacking the stepping stool where she had just peed. She thought it was funny to see the "wawa" splatter everywhere. Gross!?! Mommy did NOT think it was funny at all. At least it was not poo poo. … [Read more...]
Top Ten Sunny Day Activities (Weather You Like it or Not)
I do admit that we are blessed to live in such great weather. Here are our top ten things to do this time of year, weather I like it or not (weather is spelled incorrectly I know, but some days I just feel clever. Ha ha ha.) 1. Fill up the inflatable pool so bugs can land in it and Isabella can get her protein for the day while she drinks the water (telling her no is not working). 2. Go for a walk in the stroller to the post office, bank and library. Dread the large hill to walk up but … [Read more...]
Gratituesday: He is My Sunshine
I am so thankful today for the 87 degree weather. It is so nice to be outside on our deck. Plus, Isabella loves playing in her inflatable pool. It is funny though, 2 years ago I would have been out there with my bathing suit trying to work on my tan. What happens to us when we have children? That is not even important any more. I actually sat in the shade (gasp) with my Karen Kingsbury book (Sunrise) and enjoyed the warmth and fresh air. Then, Isabella rudely suddenly interrupted my relaxation … [Read more...]
Crazy Eights
I was tagged by Hilary at A Beautiful Life. So here is some silly stuff to get to know me better. 8 Things I am looking forward to: Lunch tomorrow with a good friend plus shopping.
