Family Life

I haven't posted any recent pictures lately, so here are a bunch!

All thanks to Jason Kovacs (JasonKovacs.com). 

Hopefully we'll get all the pictures soon, but here are a few he shared on facebook. 

The latest on my biggest blue-eyed beauty. This morning she woke up with major bed-head, worse than normal. And as I looked closely it appeared she had bangs. I immediately thought back to our beach trip when Joe gave her bangs without me knowing and asked her, "Did Daddy cut your hair?" She just smiled and totally enthusiastically said, "No, I DID!" Upon further inspection I have to give the kid credit, her hair really looked pretty good. Maybe she has a future in hair? It also solved the mystery why she had her hair clipped back religiously all afternoon the day before. If you see her soon, her hair will most likely be clipped back again, but it you want to see her master work, just ask her and she'll gladly let it down, proud for all to see!

And for my baby blue-eyed beauty. She's growing into a huge mama's girl. She'd be happy to have me hold her and rock her every minute of every day. It's precious, but somewhat perplexing, since she's such an active little girl. She really dislikes any kind of children's ministry. So much that she'll sob the from the parking lot all the way into her class (and calling out names of people she see's along the way to rescue her, really!). And when in class she won't leave the teachers lap the entire time! Last week she feel asleep while a teacher rocked her for 2 hours!  This is the same kid who two weeks ago asked if she could walk (instead of being pushed in the stroller) at Northlake Mall. She's pretty good about staying next to me and we were about to get on the elevator, so I thought it was no problem. Well...that is until the moment the elevator doors opened and she mad-dashed, all while hysterically laughing, as fast as she could away from me. I was laughing too, thinking she was just being silly and would run right back. Well, no. She got her big sis to join in and they ran straight for a super-fancy jewelry store next to the elevator. I called them back, but they continued their mad dash not only into the store, but through the swinging door and behind the counter...all while laughing! I was just a few steps off the elevator at this point, it was so unexpected and fast. Despite their disobedience, I thought it was kind of funny, but of course tried to keep a straight face. It seemed harmless until I saw the look on the guy who worked at the jewelry store, he looked totally panicked!! He called the girls, and I think they got scared and ran into the BACK of the jewelry store. He was so upset. At this point I offered to get them but he said NO ONE is allowed back there. It was hard not to laugh the next few minutes while I heard him trying to coax  them out. They were so scared they wouldn't come. By the time they finally came out they were so terrified by the mean jewelry man I believe they learned their lesson!

I love the sweetness these two have. Sooo blessed to be sisters.

As for us regarding the house, the buyers loan fell through. So we are back to square one. We at first were a bit perplexed over all that had happened the past two months, but rest that God is perfectly in control. This is his good, wise and perfect plan for us. I've been reading an amazing little book Joe gave me called "A Shepherds Look at Psalm 23". Its been just what I've needed. Daily reminders of God's personal, faithful love and care for me and his ability and desire to provide all that I need. 

Thats all for now. Again, all these amazing pics are thanks to Jason Kovacs Photography, and thanks to my wonderful husband as they were my mothers day/b-day gift from him :)
