Six Months!

Ella turned six months today.. and to celebrate the milestone, she cut her two bottom teeth. YAY! Where has the time gone? She is so precious.. and I couldn't have asked for a better baby! She has been textbook awesome! Sleeps well, adjusts well, pleasant all the time... what more could you want? I am often reminded of how precious and fleeting the time is when I look at her and out of the corner of my eye... in the blink of an eye.. there stands my 12 and a half year old.. I was just holding her a minute ago(seems like). We have enjoyed Ella so much and are so grateful to the Lord for giving us the opportunity to raise her. Thank you Lord for the gift of girls...Help me to be the mommy you need me to be. May I be worthy of the call to bring them up to honor you with their lives.

Birthday Number Five!

It's so hard to believe that Micah turned five a few weeks ago. It seems like yesterday he was born as do all of my children. It reminds me of the verse... "Teach us to number our days"... so true.! So here we are, five! What a great day we had! Goodies at preschool, presents at home, a visit from Maw Maw and Paw Paw, and getting to play soccer! Micah lately has been a challenge with his ADHD. I've been reading a great book for ADHD moms called "She's Gonna Blow" the author refers to her ADHD child as a sizzler.. so appropriate! So recently I've began to refer to him as my sizzle child.. and that he is!
Soccer will continue with to be a a challenge as do all adventures that require some sort of focus.. But he had a fun time "rolling on the floor" anyway! Thank you Lord for the sizzle... Gotta love it... and thanks for the purpose you must have for his life! I love you, nine!
