Oh the simple life....

We spent the week in AL and had a wonderful time. I love the smell of cut grass and seeing people rocking on their front porch. It was nice to get out of the city and I actually heard crickets, it was lovely and brought back many wonderful memories of growing up on the farm. A big THANK YOU to Aunt Lisa for putting up with us for 4 days and a big THANK YOU to Mamaw for keeping Lu for the week.

Never too early to start learning.....

Weekend Happening...

This weekend Aunt Brittany and Uncle Steve came to visit. We went out to eat and the girls went shopping. Thanks for coming to visit! We also sent Lula back home with them because Mamaw wanted Lula for a week.

This is the first time to our neighborhood pool and G's first time in a pool. He loved it and it is going to be a fun summer.

Here is a sweet picture of Phoebe. Since Lu has been gone she has been getting lots of extra love and attention from me. Here she is dressed as a Princess and kept looking out the window of her castle searching for her Prince, she will be waiting for awhile because her daddy will not be home until late this afternoon.

Attitude adjustment...

This time the attitude adjustment was for me and not my children.

I woke this morning to a child throwing up in the floor of her bedroom. My first thought was great I had yet another mess to clean, great I had more laundry to do, great I will have to stay home and not be able to go anywhere, and great I would have to take care of other family members if they were to get sick too. Later, as I was watching her sleep a thought occurred to me that no matter what I am doing Phil. 4:4 says "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again Rejoice!". Now my heart and thoughts were definitely not in the right place this morning, so that got me thinking about how in this situation I should be rejoicing and praising Him? So I spent a little time with God for an attitude adjustment.

So now my thoughts go something more like this....
I am thankful that God has given me a child that is healthy enough to fight off a virus that has attacked her little body, I am thankful that God has given my husband a job that supports my family and allows me to stay home to take care of her, and I am thankful that God has given me this day to rejoice in Him! I do love me some attitude adjustment and for a day that started out ugly has turned out to be a blessed day. May yours be blessed too!
