Time with Uncle Nathan
This evening, we had the privilege of seeing my little brother. The girls were so excited when they got up from their nap to head he was coming. Amabella got dressed up for Uncle Nathan. She wanted to look fancy, so she put on a fluffy tutu, ballet slippers, a fancy shirt, and a bow […]

Story Before Nap
We always love to read together before nap and bedtime. Unless I choose what we read, we tend to read three books (or excerpts); one chosen by each of the girls. We also sit closely together, often with one or two girls on my lap. 🙂 I’ve always enjoyed reading with the girls. Today, Adeliza […]

After dropping the big girls off at VBS today, I asked Avalina to say “I love you” for me to video. I just thought the video clip was cute. 🙂 Your browser does not support the video tag

“Top Pop” Father’s Day Survey
Yesterday at church, the girls came home with a “Top Pop” Father’s Day survey about their dad. It was both cute and hilarious to read Amabella and Adeliza’s responses. Below are the pictures of their surveys. * Chippeys is what the girls refer to poker chips as. Trevor also thought Adeliza was talking about Grandad […]

Recent Family Time
This past week, we’ve had the privilege of getting to visit with lots of relatives. Trevor’s Great-Aunt & Great-Uncle from England were in the area and we got to visit with them on two occasions. It was so nice to spend time with them since it’s been 7 years ago since we visited them and […]

Helping Make Pancakes/Eating Butter
This morning, Avalina wanted to help make pancakes. She helped pour the mix and stir in the milk and egg. Then, as I was melting the butter, she took a big bite of the butter. I had to take a pic, then she took another bite. I put it away. Enough butter for the day. […]

We Voted
After dinner, I took my oldest with me to our polling station with me to vote. On the way there, we talked about what voting is and ways she already gets to vote. Then we talked about what I’d be voting about and why a four year old isn’t quite ready to vote about these […]

Donuts and Daddy
The girls and I were having a tough morning, so I decided we needed to go buy some hot cocoa, since we didn’t have any. Then we decided to get donuts too. When I texted Trev to see if he wanted us to pick up anything for him, he said he’d be delivering right there […]

Theresa’s Baby Shower
Today I had the privilege of attending a baby shower for one of my long time friends. It was so nice to catch up with so many old friends: one I’m not sure I’ve seen since high school. My favorite part was simply getting to be with a couple of two of my oldest, sweetest […]

Today’s Sermon
Protecting the church from heresy (anything in opposition to the teaching in scripture). (intro to our study of Colossians) Sermon – Sunday, June 3, 2012 – Pastor Harper Heresy creeps in the back door. Before you know it not only have you absorbed it, but you’re speaking it. The problem is not the degree to […]

Avalina had her Fulham jersey, shorts, and socks on. Amabella was wearing the girls’ Sports City jersey and shorts. And Adeliza was wearing her Fulham shorts and […]

Books Before Bed
The girls helped change my sheets today so they could jump on my bed – that’s the rule (maybe not a very good one) that beds can only be jumped on when we’re changing the sheets. Then, instead of reading on the couch, we made my bed and they sat in it to read. First […]
