NOOOOOOOOOOO

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen. "

Similar?



This is Jasper after eating some chocolate surprise that Nate made up & below him is the infamous director, John Waters. He directed films like "Cry Baby." You know, one of my beloved Johnny Depp's films?

Iz and her baby's

My Isabel is going to make an awesome mama one day...in the far future. She loves her baby dolls. She will rock them & sing to them. She often "changes their diapers." She'll say, "Poopy, baby poopy." Then she'll put the baby on its back, raise its legs & say, "ewww...gross...stinky butt." Nate said while he was at his parents this last weekend, he feel asleep on the couch. He woke up & saw Isabel sitting by the front door with like 6 babies around her. He said she had wipes out & was going down the line wiping their butts. How cute!

The Joker

For some reason, when I looked at the picture from tonight after eating pizza, Jonah reminded me of the Joker.

Cheese Head

No, we aren't Packers Fans, but this gives a whole new meaning to "Cheese Heads". Jasper decided to cleanse his hair in nacho cheese. How beautiful it was! As we were eating dinner, I look over at Jas & he is just rubbing his head. I said to Nate, "Is he rubbing cheese in his hair??" Yes sirree, he sure was. So instead of getting upset, I grabbed the camera.





Had to get Isabel, too. I'm sure she was telling someone off in this picture.





Take time to remember

We all get so busy with the hustle & bustle of the Holiday season & our lives, that we sometimes forget about those who will be experiencing pain during this time. My good friend's husband passed away last Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving. He left behind his wife, a daughter & a son. The pain & sorrow they are experiencing right now will never be forgotten.

So take time to pray for these people who have to go thru this pain. Take time to check in on them to see how they are doing. Be there for them. You don't have to smother them, but let them know how much you love them & are thinking of them during this time.
