A bit of this and that post...

Want a great craft idea that will surely make someone smile??
When you send a package, let your kiddo's paint on it or make hand prints all over. Having craft time with your wee-ones and accomplishing sending a personalized gift in the mail at the same time.
I know my new cousin will enjoy his present. Little- I mean big, Thomas was born yesterday, 9 lbs 6oz! Congrat's Uncle Robert and Aunt Amy on your first child!
Mother's day was wonderful. I used a massage gift certificate (My favorite way to be spoiled- a good massage, followed by delicious food). My mom came to church with us, then we celebrated at Adam's mom's house with all his family. Avi Joy played her drums as each person arrived at the door- what a grand welcome!
Adam's mom and grandchild, Annabelle.
My sis-in-law, Melissa, with her son, George.
My FAVORITE picture of the week. I walk into the front room and Avi Joy is on top of the bookshelf and Nehemiah is inside it. These are the fleeting days.
My grandma asked how the garden was going... Here it is. Everything is sprouting and we are now eating on our lettuce.
Great grandpa Richard and Nehemiah spent lots of time cuddling.
Had a hankering for some lemonade this week. I had never made it fresh- very good. Had to take it outside so we could pretend it was warm.
Daily reading, still her favorite time of day. We LOVE books at our house. Using a home school curriculum with lots of reading is a must. She now knows how to read 4 words. The order she learned them is a gift to my heart... 1) Avi Joy 2) Love 3) God and this part is not the gift 4) Cat.
Painting some of her gifts from her birthday party.
"Painting"
Making a tent.
Pretty girl.
My four year old!
Another fun activity with Parents as Teachers, Miss Jen. Blowing tissue paper across the floor with a straw and see who wins.
Always singing. She has the gift of song. As I write this, she is at the kitchen table singing, "You, You are my hiding place. You will protect me from trouble all my days." A beautiful song we listen to in the car on a Kids Worship c.d.
Every once in a while like Here and Here, I enjoy posting a series of pics. It really lets you be in the "moment," you know?...







He has a birthday tomorrow!!! Birthday part two posted soon!

"You are my hiding place; You will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance." Selah. Psalm 32:7
