thrusdays at mia’s

When we drove up the the exit ramp at the end of our recent trip I asked John if we could turn right instead of left, because turning right meant going to Trey and Brenton’s house!  I missed my little guys and could hardly wait to see them.  I could hardly believe the change I saw in Mr. B. in just two and a half weeks time.  No longer a baby, he looks older, has a larger vocabulary, and has filled out!  I managed to snap a couple of shots when he was over for his Thursday visit today, so you could see how much he’s grown. Don’t you love the watch?  He rescued it from the bottom of the toy drawer at my house last month and wears it almost everyday.

moving in

Welcome to Leah’s home for the next three months where she will be studying and living while she completes an internship in DC this fall.  Her efficiency is cozy and comfortable….definitely a step up from the dorm room she’s been living in.  John and I dropped her here on Saturday after spending two nights and a day checking out the area.  We loved getting to know the city apart from the usual tourist must-dos…and are excited for what this time of learning and growing will mean to Leah.

waiting for gracie

Isn’t this the cutest little couple?  Meet Daniel and Beth…proud first time parents of Gracie Carmichael, who is due to arrive any day!  I can hardly wait to see what she looks like, but am certain she will be c.u.t.e. like her mama and daddy.  I’ll miss being able to get those days-old baby photos since I live far away, but maybe Gracie will indulge me when I go back in October and you can meet her then.

thursday’s at mia’s

yep….it was only a matter of time….the boys have discovered and shown an interest in the football.  We had a fun packed day yesterday.  First, we met an old friend who is in town and her grandson and headed to the local pool around the corner, where we played in the kiddie area of the pool.  It is equipped with slides, water spouts, water guns, and a tire swing, all in about a foot or so of water.  PERFECT.  The best part is….it’s FREE.  I think we will be going back there.  Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera, but with all the water and splashing, it’s probably just as well.

After lunch it was outside play with the football and Aunt Leah’s leprechaun hat[thanks Aunt Leah]….hmmmmmmm perfect pic for Notre Dame marketing, maybe?

Resurrection Day!

For me, Easter is not one day out of the year on the calendar…. I celebrate Easter by thanking Christ every day that I experience His powerful victory over the stench of death that threatens to rob me of peace of love of joy of hope….of LIFE.  Every time I experience His resurrection power at work in me….that is Easter.  There is only one way to genuinely experience that power; and that is by celebrating His death, His burial, and His resurrection each day…I am choosing to meditate on these words:

Death brings Life!

Wishing you a wonderful Resurrection Day…..hoping you have found the secret of it’s power through knowing the Savior.

For, only in Him, can this power be found; Christ in us is our only hope of glory!

EDITED:  THE ORIGINAL LINK DID NOT WORK BUT IS NOW FIXED

Jenna sent me the link to this video clip….well, actually she was sending it to her dad :)

I tried to embed the actual video, so you could just watch it from here
but couldn’t figure how to do it…you’ll just have to use the link below, but
be sure to watch it for a few laughs….

Funny thing….I would probably like getting most of the dog house gifts :0

Go figure………

BEWARE THE DOG HOUSE
