Princess Conductor

One of Addie's favorite PBS shows is Word World. Yes, we do try to limit her TV viewing; but it's very helpful to have programs on tivo that I can quickly flip to when I'm nursing the little girls. It allows for a calmer feeding time!

Every creature in this show is a word, and the characters frequently have to build a word that includes certain sounds. There is an episode in which Sheep builds the word: "princess". Poof, she's in a beautiful princess dress. Of course, what's a princess without a crown? So...once again it's time to build a word: "crown."

In this same episode (there are two short stories split by a musical break), duck knocks all the letter "w"s off the word "water", sucking the river dry on the hottest summer day.

So why did I give you all of that information? Because Addie refers to this episode as "Princess W".

And I present to you, our Princess Conductor.

And while i loved these...

 

This was my favorite picture of the day:

Sweet Joy

I suppose the most joyful moment in our personal journey with infertility has been the birth of our three precious angels.

But because of our experience, I have had the distinct privilege of walking this road with several other sweet women. The ups and downs. The waiting and hoping. The wondering and wishing. And many, many, many prayers! While most of them are still in the beginning stages of treatment, my sweet friend Maggie just recently welcomed her twins into their lives.

It's like reliving it over and over. And it brings back such sweet memories of bringing our girls home!

So without further ado, I must introduce you to a "pair of parsleys", two of the most beautiful miracle blessings on this earth!

Make sure to visit Maggie and Ben's blog and leave them some love (a comment!)! They are two amazing parents!

Everything becomes perfect in HIS time...!

God is good all the time! All the time God is good!

Thankful for a precious husband and mama to take care of me and the girls. Lots of house stuff going on this week. Praying for discernment and wisdom!

"May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you."

Psalm 33:22

Flashback Friday: Thankful

I decided I'd wait to post until

I missed it

I started writing new posts in my bl@ckberry again

I remembered how much I enjoyed it

I was, as a friend said, less "over" everything:

OVER whelmed

OVER housed

OVER it

And here I am, missing it and wanting to share

The house is bad and getting worse.

One baby step forward

Two giant steps back.

What did me in?

We found out our AC unit, installed a mere 2 years ago, was installed without a permit and has major code violations that could harm our family, not to mention our house.

Mama bear kicked in.

I am thankful for

a house to have problems with

a family to love and be loved by

a general contractor who knows what he's talking about,

and the fact that i can write in phrases and end 4 thoughts with prepositions and not lose points for it.

Flashback Friday:

Isaiah 26:3-4

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you,
      all whose thoughts are fixed on you!
 Trust in the Lord always,
      for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.

This is how we Roll...

...Tide?

Go Dawgs, right?

Nope. Not this time!

War Eagle!

Papa Ray (my dad) and Mawmaw Pat gave Addie an Auburn cheerleader outfit for Christmas last year.

No, I'm not trying to raise a cheerleader (or a tiger, dawg, or elephant for that matter!). In fact (not to offend anyone), but that's the last activity I think I'd want Addie participating in. That's for another post.

But for now, here are a few of her {gymnastics} moves that she came home doing the other day. We're just doing them in a cheerleader outfit!

{straddle}

{pike}

{tuck}

...but this is how WE {roll} with 3!

***do note that there is not one single tear, tantrum, or fit in this post. i just left those out! ;)
