OUR MIRACLES & BLESSINGS

Coming home from church, she was complaining about what we named her. She says that there are two Josh's at church, why couldn't we have named her "Becca". Then there could be two Becca's.

Conversation from the van, pulling into our drive:

Daddy--"Emy, we should leave church happier than we were when we left for church--you sound the same as you did before we left".

Emy (remember Miss Thang) says "yep, except now I'm chewing gum".

Y'all--this child cracks me up!!

Emy has decided that she will be sassy to her mama lately. This is the conversation we just had:

Mama--"Emy, go brush your teeth before we leave for church".

Emy--"No".

Mama--"Don't tell me no, Emy".

Emy--"Okay, no maam". (like that was BETTER???--well maybe a little).

Okay, I do admit, it is kind of funny but still--this mama does not like sassiness and I have been hearing it more and more lately. My girl child is a trip, y'all.....

Bottom line--she brushed her teeth and we are off to church!!

Later taters!!

Well, the summer has gotten off to a HUGE start around my house. I am trying to clean out closets, drawers, and all the rest--ugh!

Emy & Luke are swimming ALOT--actually Emy is swimming around and jumping in the 8foot deep end without any assistance from floaties--yahooo!!!! And Luke, he is swimming and jumping into the 8foot deep end, with the assistance of his floaties!!

THEY LOVE TO SWIM.. And let me add, Emy does a PERFECT handstand this year--and diving to the bottom of the 4-6 foot water--she's doing so great!!

Also, on another note--Luke is up to 5 hours of wearing his patch and his boots!! It is so hard to find the time to do this--we have to work him up to 6 hours. . 3 hours at daycare (thank God for such a good sitter who helps me with this) and 3 hours at home is what we are shooting for. We are almost there!!!

And about the Father's Day video--it didn't turn out so good, so sorry, can't make good on that. I will however, video them at the pool soon and let you see them in action!!

Darrell,

Thank you so much for leading me to Sandbox Adventures blog. I will definitely keep this man and his buddies in my prayers!! I will comment to him often to let him know we are thinking about him.

If anyone has a few extra minutes, please go to this blog--I only had a chance to read a few of his posts, but this is a real, live Christian man who is fighting in this war. . .

This is a 5-minute video. Make sure your volume is turned up. We really need to support our troops and pray for them daily. This video really made me stop and think.
