He drives me crazy but...

I just love him!!!

Holding back

Do you ever get the feeling that if you are too real and open on here that people will think there is something wrong with you? Like there is something lost in the typing that you can't see. When you tell someone something face to face you can read their tone and redirect the point if needed. Or then there is the fear you could open up and put it all out there looking for hope and encouragement only to find that after one week your comments are zero and stats are 2 and worse yet those where google searches that pulled up your picture titles. To blog or not to blog that is my question.....

Prayer

On the trend of Snap, I offer another prayer suggestion. Right now, our pastors wives or on a getaway. Pray that they feel loved and treasured by our church. That they know we appreciate the support they have given allowing their husbands to leaders here at Sandals. Also, that they are bonded together as a support group and as friends since they deal with  things that are unique to being a pastors wife.  Just a thought.

Terrible Two??

Ok so Daley is two now. Most of you know that the first year of Daley's life she was a breeze. She was the easiest baby ever. After her first birthday she got a little more spicy. Now that she is two... hold on to your hats!!! She had her worst day ever today, and it is only 9:30 am!!!! She ran around the donut shop. Screamed that she could not open and close the juice door. Fussed when I asked her set down. Then, we took Will to school. All was better until it was time to go. Basically, it was me carrying her under my arm, shoes flying off, screaming all the way home, radio blaring to drown out the sound. And now she sits in her crib screaming some more while I vent. So there you have it. She is super cute and super feisty. Hope you never see that side of her.

Three times a charm

So here I am again. For the third time in my life I must cheer and shout. Dance and parade. High five and pass out treats. Over what you ask? Going to the bathroom. That's right people. My little Daley has decided she wants to be like Macey and Will, wear underwear, and use the toilet. In our old house most of it was wood floors. Sadly, I worry for my new carpet. This is why I don't want a puppy. If I decided to have a fourth child, (oh my, did I say that out loud, someone slap me!!) I think I would just get a puppy instead. That way if it doesn't work out you can put them outside. All joking aside. She is getting to be a big girl.:( So with that said ...
here we go again.
