2010 is Here!

Bath Time

Both of my children, thank goodness, so far, are like their daddy when it come to water. They are not scared and willing to learn.

This means we have to be extra careful when we are around water now but hopefully it means later in life they will actually be safer near the water than I am.

Anyway, here is Justus' latest no fear water experience.

Pour the water on your face.

Think about it for a minute to decide if you like it.

Decide it was great and do it again!

H and R

They think they are so cool when they both wear their "big" coats.

Aren't they the cutest!

Characteristics of the Church

Our minister had a great lesson just a couple of weeks ago about 12 characteristics of the church. I have been thinking about them a lot and thought I would share. The text for the lesson was Romans 12.

1. Sincerity: Romans 12:9 Let love be without hypocrisy.
2. Discernment: Romans 12:9 Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.
3. Affection: Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love,
4. Honor: Romans 12:10 in honor giving preference to one another;
5. Enthusiasm: Romans 12:11-12 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope,
6. Patience: Romans 12:12 patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;
7. Generosity: Romans 12:13 distributing to the needs of the saints,
8. Hospitality: Romans 12:13 given to hospitality.
9. Goodwill: Romans 12:14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
10. Joy and Sympathy: Romans 12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
11. Harmony: Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind toward one another.
12. Humility: Romans 12:16 Do not set your mind on high things but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
    

H and W

Look at these sweet girls. When I take them all out, inevitably someone will ask me if they are all mine. I am not sure if they are wondering if I would really have that many children or if they are wondering how close in age they really are.

Whatever they are thinking I always just point to Hannah and Justus and say "those are my children" and then I point to Willa and/or Reese and say "these are mine for the day!" I love them so much. I tell them both they can come over to my house any time, even though they don't really understand what I am saying.

After I take such sweet pictures of them, I then say FUNNY FACES!! Or STICK OUT YOUR TONGUE! and this is what I get.

Aren't they just the cutest!

Quiz

What happens when you are a 14 month old little boy, you are at the church building, you are wearing a cute pair of overalls and some cute cowboy boots, you leak out of your diaper and get your overalls wet, and your very brilliant Mommy and Daddy didn't bring you a change of clothes?

Yeah.

You have to walk around wearing just a onsie and some boots and your pride gets hurt just a little.
Poor Thing.

Hannah thought she was SO SO special when she got a Christmas Card addressed to just her from Super John!!!
