Where Have You Been?

Here.......




Just got back from the beach yesterday. At least we're home physically. My mind hasn't shown up yet.

We had a great time so there will be more to come. Prepare to be overwhelmed with the photos of the sun, sand and our children as they experience the beach for the first time.

Chores

Yesterday I had a ton of things to do. Luke was standing next to me as I was making my list and I asked him if he was going to help with my chores.

He looked right at me, through the eyeholes of his batman mask, and said, "No, I'm going to save the world."

Well, I guess that says it all.

Do Not Fear

This is what Batman does on his day off.

Yes, it was 95 degrees outside, but Batman must always be ready.

Happy Anniversary Sweetie!

I can't believe it's been eight years. I've been thinking about you a lot today and feeling very nostalgic. So, in honor of you and our life together, here are the top 10 reasons I would marry you all over again.


You are just as handsome as you were when we started dating.

You make me laugh, even when I don't want to.

You will sit through a stupid tv show just to sit next to me for an hour.

You are an amazing dad and always have time to play with the kids.

You never make the kids feel like they have to work to get your attention.

You don't complain when I serve you peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for dinner, again.

You're idea of the perfect date is a trip to the mall (so is mine so this works great!).

You spend time listening to me, even though I know you're tired and have a million other things on your mind.

You bathe and get the kids ready for bed every night so I can have a break.

You let me stay up reading and never complain that the light keeps you awake.

You have a tender heart and put other people's needs before your own.

You have a heart for God and have been an incredible spiritual leader of our home.


Okay, so that's actually 12, but who's counting. I could go on but I'll stop there. I'm so glad you're my husband and my sweetheart. I'm glad to share my life with you and couldn't ask for a better partner.

Happy Anniversary Sweetie!

Thursday was Luke’s last day of pre-school. I knew it was coming, but I didn’t expect it to hit me so hard. We really enjoyed the past four years of Mothers Day Out/Preschool and it seems like a whole chapter of our life has ended.

The funny thing is, we were never supposed to go to the Heights in the first place. When I quit work, I enrolled Luke in a different Mothers Day Out program. But halfway through the summer, they called to tell me that they closed his class and I would have to find somewhere else. I panicked. School was starting in 5 weeks and I had to find a program. After calling all over town, the Heights was the only place with a spot for him. Obviously, we took it.

What a great decision. Max goes there now and a year and a half ago, we became members of the Heights. Sometimes I am amazed that we found a church home that we love, all because they had a spot open in their CDC back in the summer of 2004. I shouldn’t be amazed, God works like that.

Here are a few pictures taken by a sentimental mother on her son’s last day. They remind me of such a sweet time in his life.
