Tonight my princess had my quarterly for church and she was flipping through it. She likes to pretend she is reading now. She handed it back to me and when I grabbed it she pointed at the man on the cover in the background and said Jesus, in her cute whisper voice. (It mostly sounds like a couple well placed S's, but I know what she is saying.) It melted my heart. I gave her a high five and said, "Yeah, good job. That is Jesus." And she was happy. I tried to get her to do it for daddy but she … [Read more...]
Low Temperature?
So, this morning Isabella decided she did not want breakfast. There was nothing I could do. But when she started acting fussy while getting her dress on I decided to take her temperature. I have a quick ear one that I use and her temperature was low - very low I thought. I was 94.7. Ear temperatures are known to be unrealiable so I took it again and proceeded to take my own and daddy's. Ours was "normal", but hers still came out low.So that threw us into a small panic mode. Any strange thing … [Read more...]
Stuck At The Park
Well, I did get a couple more things tonight at the $5 baby sale at Old Navy. I didn't realize when I went on Friday that it was ALL the baby clothes up to 24 months. So I got a couple more dresses and a pair of leggings that will match both. $5 for brand new clothes is a good deal for this mommy. We went down to the BIG CITY because my husband was starring in a commercial. Yes he is a big star now. Well, it is for a local channel - 27 - which airs 3ABN (Three Angels Broadcasting Network). It is … [Read more...]
Good News
Christian MySpace GraphicsWe got a email today from Wes' wife, Marion. She titled her email "Good News".

The doctors also got most of the infection in his leg and lungs drained. The email ended with these last two sentences:"Obviously, he still has a long way to go & is not well by any means, but I am just … [Read more...]
Prayer and Snow
We are so excited. Yesterday, while we were praying for our lunch, Isabella folded her own hands by herself. Each day we pray a similar prayer and keep it short. Daddy and I always fold our hands and bow our heads. Isabella, loves to copy, and she did it too! Then this morning when daddy fed her breakfast she did it again. Our hearts swell with pride!It snowed about 9 inches last night. We stayed in our pajamas until 3pm, watched a movie, ate pancakes, and played. It has been a great morning for … [Read more...]

Sick and Tired
Isabella and I flew back home by ourselves on Sunday. I don't look forward to flying alone with her again! We go back to Washington next month for a planned visit before Thanksgiving and we are flying alone again. Yeah (sarcastically)!!!Usually she sleeps on the airplane when we fly. This time I struggled with her for an hour. She was not happy and all she wanted to do was bother the man beside us - who was sleeping! But praise God, when we boarded the plane, there was a woman in 10F, our … [Read more...]
