I Don’t Want My Children To Be Happy

This is a great reminder that happiness is found in happenings and true joy is found in God our Saviour Jesus Christ! It is my prayer that Amesley and Asher would be content and holy not seeking after happiness that is only fleeting...Check out this great post where true love for your child is explained http://itsalmostnaptime.blogspot.com/2010/02/i-dont-want-my-children-to-be-happy.html

A Winter Wonderland!

We have had quite a bit of winter weather here in Arkansas this year! Over the past 6 wks we have had three different opportunity to see sleet or snow! The most recent was yesterday. We woke up to snow covered houses, yards, cars, and streets. To our surprise, it snowed all morning...often very big snowflakes! We got 2-4 inches of SNOW! Enough to build a snowman :-) After building our snowman, we came inside for a warmer activity...coloring.

Asher's Baby Dedication

On Sunday Feb 7th, before our family and the BCLR church body, Wayne and I committed to the God-given joy of parenting. We will seek, as God enables us, to teach our children the Word of God (Deuteronomy 6:4-9), and to endeavor to be a model of Christ likeness for them (1 John 2:6). It is our prayer that we will faithfully teach our children about OUR GREAT GOD as we rise up, as we go on our way and as we lay down. We were blessed to have our family join us in this celebration of the life God gave us...ASHER man!

5 Months with the Doggie

Asher turned 5 months on Sat. He is very busy these days rolling everywhere and sitting and standing with support. He loves to talk, squeal and giggle. He enjoys playing with toys. He also loves to put anything in his mouth...a finger, clothes, cloth diapers, blankets, toys, blocks. Although he loves to suck on his pacy, he also loves to "play" with it. He eats the handle, chews on the nipple, takes it in and out of his mouth...what a GREAT toy! Asher gets really excited and moves his arms and legs and make noises when he anticipates someone picking him up. It is so cute! He is such a blessing from the Lord and we are thankful that the Lord gave him to us!

Amesley's Christmas Dress

Two weeks ago we put up our Christmas Tree. Amesley is enjoying all the snowman ornaments. But her favorite thing was putting up her "silver sparkle tree" in her room. The best part about the day was letting Amesley climb up on a chair and put each character in the manger as we read the Christmas story in the board book "Christmas in the Manger".

Three Months with Doggie

It is hard to believe that Asher has been a part of our family for three months already. He is such a joy. He laughs with his whole body. He loves to smile when you talking to him. He is starting to grasp his hands together and roll to both sides. If his arms didn't get in the way I think he could roll over from his back to his belly :-) We love you Asher!

Amesley Says Her ABC's

Well it has been some time since the last post I know, but I was inspired by two friends who have posted video recently.
