Anniversary #9
August 10th, my husband and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary. After surprising me Saturday with a babysitter and dinner out, we decided no more dinner out!
So on our actual anniversary I thought and thought about what I could do for my husband. We don't really like spending money on gifts for each other, so I decided I would make him a nice dinner. To make it a little more special, I fed the kids first. The kids were super excited because I made them macaroni and cheese out of the box, which they never get. Then I told them they could watch a video while we ate...their gift to us. I had even planned on them watching the baby, but she was a little too fussy so she joined us. I made t-bone steak, baked potato, sauted summer squash with parmasean and a salad. I set our places outside on the porch, turned on the radio, used our fancy dishes and opened a bottle of wine. It was awesome. The kids were so good and got themselves ready for bed while we finished up the dishes. I think it was one of our cheapest and most enjoyable anniversary's yet! We will definately do it again. I had to add this picture of our little dinner guest who kept herself quite amused with the steak bone and empty dressing bottle.
Thank you Lord for these wonderful nine years of marriage, I pray you bless us with many more...

Hoppy Summer
When Summer comes at our house, the tights and socks don't get packed away...
...They become bunny costumes (usually there are two more socks on the hands).
Happy hopping, but please wear your shoes outside!
Angelic Sleep
This picture reminds me of one of my favorite children's books, My Little Book About GOD by Jane Werner Watson and illustrated by Eloise Wilkin:
After such a fussy night, she finally fell asleep in the warm strong hug of her daddy's arms. As I watched her sleep and look so prayerful I wondered if we were aided by her Guardian Angel or maybe she was comforted by her perfect Heavenly Mother, Mary. Whoever was at our sides that night, I was thankful for her final surrender to the land of Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.
" For GOD IS LOVE. God is the love of our mother's kiss, the warm strong hug of our daddy's arms."
