My heart is filled with joy....
Her birthday is coming and she is so excited! She loves the new H20 mop we got! (because she loves to clean:) and is excited to wash the floor in her room....(oh the simple things..hee hee:) she always wants me to pick out her clothes for her because she likes the way I match match things...she is tickled pink that the buddy gave her his spiderman t-shirt that is too small for him and loves to wear it with her flowered skirt...love it....she rubs my back when I lay down with her at bed time and just is so joyfull everyday....each morning so excited..."Mama what are we going to do today?"
go slow these days because my heart can't go fast....

Sweet Sisterly Love
These sweet girlies belong to a family we lost touch with and thanks to Facebook (love it and hate it) we're in touch again. After 7 years without contact we met up with them this weekend and it was like no time had gone by..don't you love that? And the funny things we both had added 3 more people to our families...they have 5 and so do we ( I should add that they do have 6 but one passed on). What stories of struggle and triumph we both had been through during those years, how we've grown and stretched and changed during that time....I am so humbled by them. Their latest sweet girl here in these photographs (which I love) was born a year ago and had many challanges already and this family just lives and loves her just the way she is. She has a trach , she is suctioned every few minutes due to problems swallowing, she is fed through a tube directly into her belly, her oxygen levels are constantly being monitored, and lives so joyfully in her family like any other 1 year old I know. This family says they are so blessed by her, all their kids of course, but know these wee ones are just on loan to them for a short while in this life and live for today and what joy it brings. I am truly in awe of them and once again so humbled and so challenged. How does this experience change me? What do I with this new experience and thinking about what it is like to be in their shoes? Or maybe it helps me not to judge others, to be more compassionate, to be more understanding, to help more, to worry less, to not compare my life to anyone else's because this is my life...and so on. Whatever it does if anything, I want it to humble me, I so proud in my own small minded head it makes me sick sometimes....I am just in awe really, at how big God is and how small me and my little idea writing is...lol....but He loves me anyway and I press on:)

Miss MJ
I find it so hard to just be in my brain and be happy with it. I so often am thinking I can be more like this person or that mom, or wondering, if I just knew how they thought then I could do what they do..ya know? In a good way I mean. I am looking at these strong women in my life and seeing their character and the fruits of their labor (I think:) and I am inspired. But often I do wonder if I think about them too much. I can't be them, nor do I want to be, so why can't I stay more focused on my brain and this is just how I am? I think....a lot! but why am I viewing that as a negative? This is how I am growing. Everyday I am so acutely aware of what I am doing and trying to keep my heart in check regarding the motivations behind what I do and then also leading the way for the kiddies and teaching them about their hearts! Maybe that's why my brain never stops? What started me onto this tonight was technology and the kids getting an ipod to share. It is mainly for our studies as we listen to audio books for some classes and need to get more ( I will explain why another time). I am so acutely aware of what goes in them comes out. If we dump crap into their heads it comes out and if we pour good things in....it comes out (generally speaking here). What they do watch matters! What they do listen to matters! What they do see matters! All of it has an impact..good or bad.....and I want to fill them up with good things and keep their hearts on the things that are good...to be continued....

Spiderman Shirt
This shirt is my fave and makes me smile all day..this wasn't shot to focus on it but thought you could see it ok here:)
Park and Play
She is being such a silly these days....she plays wee jokes (like MJ), is so brave with Rhino (the hamster) picks him up by 3 or 4 bits of his fur and carries him places, (I think he might die of a heart attack because of her though) she love puzzles and does them all morning while the others do table school...she calls it her school too:) she still sleeps in bed with us and is such a joy to wake up to...snuggled into Hot Husband or I....these days are going too fast..I want to press pause...for a long time, and stay in these days ...I am so thankful that this is my daily work, to live eachday with my kiddies, the payment is far greater than any money job I could ever imagine doing.....
