on the move

Please excuse the long pauses between posts.... I've been in the process of moving (both my home and within my office at work). I'm not one that can stand having boxes standing around for long so I anticipate that the nesting process may take a bit of time too... oh boy.

Hope you're enjoying our Autumn/Winterish weather!

The Earth, The Sun and The Moon

 Something tells me that as our little Jamie gets older, she's becoming more and more loveable.  This past week she and I progressed in our interactions - she not only laughed and smiled at me (one of the few times, believe it or not) but she actually "talked" with me while we got her dressed for the Park Family photoshoot. (Even Momma Joyce was marveling at her response).

If this continues, I might be in trouble. I will want to get her the sun, the moon, the stars....whatever she wants. Seriously, after being a Christian, being an auntie is one of the best things in this life!

can't fight this feeling

You know what A REALLY good feeling is? 

When you can't stop looking at a photo. Especially one that you took. 

Oh yes, and being love. Also a really good feeling. :)

sweet TREATS!

It's been a long week and I feel like I need some of theeeeeeeeeese. 

Spring is the thing

Just reminding myself that the new things in spring are not always bad things. 

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee, opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day!

another birthday, another city.

AMAZING, right?}

bonded for life

{my dear C is headed to Socal to see her bff get married this weekend.
I snagged C&T's rings when I was hanging out at their house while they were doing dishes. So encouraging to hear about how marriage is a blessing.}

looks like rain

Christopher Robin! I think it would help with this deception if you would just kind of open your umbrella and say, "Tut-tut, it looks like rain."

{And for those with troubles much more significant than just a few drops of rain. Please be praying for Japan! My thoughts are with you, Lynds, Kari & Jess!}

Sometimes there is just a photo that you love. 

And usually its because its a person that you really love. 

Tis the Season

Little Friends

One Heartbeat At A Time

 With every, "I know you can do it"

And every tear that you kiss away

So many little things that seem to go unnoticed

They're just like the drops of rain, over time they become a river

And you, you are changing the world

One little heartbeat at a time

Making history with every touch

And every smile

Oh, you, you may not see it now

But I believe that time will tell

How you, you are changing the world

One little heartbeat at a time
