GONE FISHIN'







Daddy found a turtle on a stump in the water but he jumped in before Eli got a good look at him. Here he leans over the bridge to try to see a tish(fish), turtur (turtle) or trog (frog). The look in the last pictures says it all.... 'tish gone!'

I DIDN'T DO IT

All parents go through it; it's not like I'm the first. But when a day like today happens, it gives me a sense of desire to suspend time. Just long enough to grasp everything God wants me to learn in the moments He has given me. And not that I ever could see or understand ALL that He has done or was trying to teach me, but I still sit in awe of Him tonight. Today He blessed me with unexpected eye opening experiences. Ben responded to my invitation for a bike ride early this morning, much to my suprise and delight, with a yes. We took a route we hadn't before, the roads were quiet, we stopped and talked to some horses (no response back : ) ) and had some really great conversation together. After breakfast we got ready and headed out to shop, but first stopped by Wawa's for a coffee. It only felt normal to ask him, although it was the first time I had, "would you like a coffee", and he replied, "sure". Hmmm, I thought....that seemed refreshin...

A BEST FRIEND

The house is quiet, the kids are sleeping in their beds and I sit here in the dark listening to the droning sound of the refrigerator motor humming. I found myself just sitting here unaware I was jumping in thought from my husbands expected arrival home any minute now, to "I wonder how many more weeks until the CCC college kids come home?".

But I found myself resting....rather, visiting a friend in thought. We were sitting on our deck having a ice cold glass of tea. Her voice was as sincere and kind as it was sweet to listen to.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICK

Image
We celebrated Rick's 48th Birthday. The I and the boys got him a mug, a DVD (comedian), a shirt and framed pictures of themselves. We just can't say enough about Rick and how loved and important he is to me and the kids. I'm sure every woman feels their husband is the best, but I truly look up to Rick for a multitude of reasons. He is by far the smartest, most level headed, GIVING, man I know. I have never seen a man so patient and full of grace. His birthday is always a day I thank God for placing him in my life and his mom and dad for raising him to be the God honoring husband and father that he is. WE LOVE YOU RICK! HAPPY BIRTHDAY.....LOVE, ANNIE AND THE BOYS
