Jesus loves me

Thomas blessed my heart. We were blessing the meal and I could hear the kids upstairs playing. Thomas started singing Jesus loves me 3 times during the prayer. How wonderful to hear my son and his great great uncle blessing gods heart at the same time!

Joanna's first day of second grade

Happy 41 to Chris

Kids play Mario on the Wii for the first time!

Joanna cooks!

Joanna cooked pasta by herself, with my supervision, while I made a homemade marinara sauce from Jason's tomatoes. I was peeling and de-seeding tomatoes. She was so proud. Thomas was happy to eat and they both wanted seconds so she then made another batch!

Vacation - Thursday

Today we went to Hammock beach, after chasing down nets.

Then our afternoon was rainy and Joanna and daddy napped. Jason asked Joanna why she put on her pajamas after coming in is she's not going to nap and she said, "Well, mommy puts on her pajamas after work and she doesn't go to bed!"

We learned another part of yesterday's verse, "...seek and you shall find it..." Or "...keep looking and you will find it..."

Vacation - Wednesday

Today we learned "Ask and you will receive." Or " keep askjng and it will be given to you."

Rachel and I had fun with this one. I said keep asking just like you always do, "mom, mom, mom, mom!"

We enjoyed the pool this morning and had charcoal-grilled steaks for dinner.

We dutifully watched our fire with the fire-putter-outer handy, then after we were done, Jason put out the fire with water from the creek using the garbage can lid!
