<br />
Bob read my last two confessions. He had one question. <blockquote>Why do you feel the need to preface your achievements with qualifying reasons why it’s a good thing? </blockquote>This is a man who knows me. He knows me so well. He knows what I am thinking and feeling without having to tell him. He's my best friend...my coach (I cannot call him my cheerleader LOL). He's proud of me and loves me no matter what. I told him WHY I preface it. He sent me this amazing encouragement and I love him for it!<br />
<br />
<blockquote>You’re amazing and wonderful…. <br />
<br />
When a person accomplishes something they should do so with some pride in what they accomplished. Even when a person fails they should be proud they at least tried.<br />
<br />
Driving on the interstate and mowing grass aren’t your greatest achievements… but they are that. Achievements. <br />
<br />
You should not feel stupid, but proud of yourself that you aren’t just staying put.. but that you’re trying new things… I am SO proud of you. You could have just said, “Bob drives… I don’t want to” or “Bob mows, why should I ever do it?”<br />
<br />
You did it… you should be proud of yourself… and not assume people think anything bad of you for it.<br />
<br />
Don’t run the football into the end zone and apologize to the fans that you were wide open when you caught the ball… or that it was the QB that threw the amazing pass… <br />
<br />
Spike the ball and do a dance and don’t apologize for it! :)<br />
<br />

Another YEAH! for me :) Don't judge! Remember, I lived with my parents until Bob and I got married. Anytime I've gone out of town, I've always had someone with me :) Granted, this was I-270 W and the easiest of all the interstates to drive on I think....but I did it! Now, tell me to take I-71 to I-70 and my head will spin. But at least I know I can take Alex to his doctor's appointments without Bob having to constantly take vacation days :)Randihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13721332721285605959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806053201573735298.post-14256083414722388862013-09-16T10:39:00.000-04:002013-09-16T10:39:07.083-04:00Confession #859/7/13 - I mowed the grass for the first time EVER! Aside from the one crooked strip that I mowed (or the lawn mower mowed as it dragged me behind it) when we lived on Winona....I totally mowed! Not the entire back yard, but the whole main portion. If you are thinking...wow, what a LOSER. You are 32 and you have NEVER MOWED?? I don't care :) My dad always took care of the yard work at home...and then I moved out and we didn't have a yard needing mowed until we bought our home. When we purchased it, Bob has always mowed. It's another small accomplishment for me this year :) Especially since I am also afraid of them :) Yeah!Randihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13721332721285605959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806053201573735298.post-26713923053956484412013-08-29T12:58:00.001-04:002013-08-29T12:58:45.773-04:00God is GoodI had a breathing test today. As part of that test, I was on a special diet yesterday. I was drained of all energy, I had a monster headache throughout the day, and had to fast beginning at 8 PM. I prayed that I could get through the day and especially the night. I didn't know how I was going to fast all evening, when I am used to having my late-evening snacks and also used to staying up until roughly 11:30. I figured it was definitely going to be a LOOOOOOOOOOONG night.<br />
<br />
Well, God is so good.<br />
<br />
Thanks to my headache, I had to lay my head down. I laid on the couch about 8:15 PM to try to get it to stop thumping while the kids and Bob were playing in Alex's room. I woke up at 10:45, got ready for bed, and was back out almost immediately. Aside from waking up once during the night when my my sweet Alex was yelling for me, I slept until 5:30 :) <br />
<br />
Had it not been for the headache, I very well WOULD have had a long evening. But the headache gave me rest, and therefore my thoughts were not on what I could not have to eat or drink. <br />
<br />
God is in everything in our lives - from the large to the miniscule - and He was definitely with me through the night. <br />
<br />
He deserves all our praises and that is what I want to do! So rather large or small - I will give all credit where it is due - to Him and only Him :)Randihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13721332721285605959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806053201573735298.post-65691981253588805442013-08-22T08:29:00.001-04:002013-08-22T08:29:53.489-04:00Do-OverI am not one to request do-overs of days. But if I could have one to do over, it would be this one and it's not even 8:30 :(<br />
<br />
Today is Maleah's first day of first grade. The morning was supposed to go so well. Instead, Bob and I were arguing over something stupid and Maleah was pouting that she didn't like her dress, her feet hurt, her leg hurt - seemed to be complaining about everything.<br />
<br />
Oh what I would give to take that stupid argument back. <br />
<br />
Oh what I would give to have picked out a different outfit for her first day.<br />
<br />
Instead, it went the way it did. Maleah pouted about her dress & feet until finally, at 7:55 (already late for work), I took her to her room and put her in shorts, a shirt and socks and running shoes. Her shirt is too big. Nothing I can do about that now. That's how she went to school. No wonderful first day of school picture showing her excitement. It was all a frustrated rush to get out the door. Then I lost my keys, so I spent the next few minutes trying to find them.<br />
<br />
If there was one day to start over....this would be the day.<br />
<br />
Open house went great last night. I know she'll be fine. But it breaks my heart....her first day of school. No picture. No excitement. Just fighting.<br />
<br />
I sit here crying because it breaks my heart. I hate how this morning went and there is nothing I can do to change that.<br />
<br />
My heart is broken for this. She should be on the day care bus heading off to school right now. I just pray that she's lost in the excitement with all the other kids and the morning frustrations will fall away for all of us.<br />
<br />
I hope she knows how much I love her and how sorry I am that it went the way it did.Randihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13721332721285605959noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806053201573735298.post-70759265581306107312013-08-19T12:43:00.001-04:002013-08-19T12:43:50.475-04:00Confession #84We went on vacation last week to Gatlinburg. My confession is that I drove outside of the state of Ohio for the first time EVER! <br />
<br />
You may think it silly that I am 32 and have never driven outside of the state, but whenever we've gone on road trips, it was always my dad driving....and since we've been married, it's Bob. I prefer to be the navigator. I like the control of the map. But I wanted him to be able to see the beautiful mountains and creeks, rockfaces, etc. too (or doze off as he did a couple times LOL) <br />
<br />
Next on my list is being able to say that I drove on an interstate. This was just driving from Cade's Cove back to Gatlinburg, a long and slow ride :)Interstates scare me, but I may have to give 270 a try sometime :)<br />

We took the kids to the Annex yesterday for an afternoon of fun. We kicked the soccer ball in the soccer nets, played baseball on the baseball field and then went for a walk on the flood wall. For the first time EVER that I can recall I got to run the bases. I can't remember ever being on a REAL baseball field and running bases. Bob pitched, I hit, and though I should have stopped at first, I ran all the way to home :) It felt good :) I'm glad I made it! LOL It's been a LOOOONG time since I "ran". We had a great afternoon :)
Maleah decided she wants to be a soccer goalie because that is the only way she can use her hands :)
AND It is glaringly obvious that Mr. Alex needs to be on a baseball team. The way he can hit that ball absolutely amazes me!
It was fun seeing Bob bat too. He always loved baseball and I know even though it was a foam bat and ball, he had a great time :)
God is so good :) Maybe I'll run those bases again soon!
PS Bob was NOT so good at being a goalie ;) hehe

Personally, I think baking from "scratch" is overrated....I can rock the Betty Crocker box as well as anyone else can, and it tastes delicious :) Duncan Hines too :)I add eggs and oil to it...so it's ALMOST like from scratach ;) So I have finally done it and probably won't do it again any time soon...BUT I will never know how it turned out....It's not for me! AND it has walnuts in it...gag me! <br /><br />There's a myriad or things I haven't done in my life...but now I can "scratch" one off the list ;)Randihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13721332721285605959noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806053201573735298.post-22551463583877148202011-04-12T21:28:00.003-04:002011-04-12T21:44:55.977-04:00Fitting<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjunYIJEr2zuXNiX0CstOH0w0T7MUpdf0-8nsFnLRyXF9bQEOcQEIcllXUa2QC5aKgUhRJEbaIEp5kGoPGEF2eHyjYC3yShFIKN9NjZF94kW6vymfZ5CpvFO-etVSiSjP1l6zaRf7Glr9j6/s1600/IMG_2566.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjunYIJEr2zuXNiX0CstOH0w0T7MUpdf0-8nsFnLRyXF9bQEOcQEIcllXUa2QC5aKgUhRJEbaIEp5kGoPGEF2eHyjYC3yShFIKN9NjZF94kW6vymfZ5CpvFO-etVSiSjP1l6zaRf7Glr9j6/s320/IMG_2566.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594877683829022066" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRmQBfDdag7vOCv0_TqlAiNQbdO0SGz2sVJRMm0o2quBQcBb8en2c6HXohrG98n5p_9784_VGeMgXa_LMk4GHAWV2Vk6sTqDkX6GycJ0eVp6Yokpe82VGw2NaqiAN8TfJut1zitD66kFS6/s1600/IMG_2557.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRmQBfDdag7vOCv0_TqlAiNQbdO0SGz2sVJRMm0o2quBQcBb8en2c6HXohrG98n5p_9784_VGeMgXa_LMk4GHAWV2Vk6sTqDkX6GycJ0eVp6Yokpe82VGw2NaqiAN8TfJut1zitD66kFS6/s320/IMG_2557.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594877690301028594" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5ndGtfal78E3LBDD0Msk7kJJy7x5sfuchO4dD0Ikpg5kV-kKsPeT_q_9nh_etebfqpiIWoS-jByD-DizJw1MndRsNQqH3y9ZwKaYYS-0CjKH3F1zQV7hJRO7SC9avI5j67UpTvEWLDFPs/s1600/IMG_2552.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5ndGtfal78E3LBDD0Msk7kJJy7x5sfuchO4dD0Ikpg5kV-kKsPeT_q_9nh_etebfqpiIWoS-jByD-DizJw1MndRsNQqH3y9ZwKaYYS-0CjKH3F1zQV7hJRO7SC9avI5j67UpTvEWLDFPs/s320/IMG_2552.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594877681859907490" /></a><br />We planted a magnolia tree in remembrance of Emily on her due date in 2006. I chose a magnolia tree because their flowers are just so incredibly beautiful! Bob and I were discussing the flowering trees the other day, and he mentioned how other flowering trees hold up so much better in colder weather, and flower longer. I thought about that....but you know....it's so fitting....Emily's tree blossomed just a little over a week ago. Yesterday, the wind blew so strong most of the petals are now gone. It always loses its petals so quickly. But it's sort of a metaphor for Emily's life. Those flowers blossom and for a moment we get to enjoy their beauty...and in a flash they are gone. And so comes our Emily....she was with us such a brief moment, but in that moment held all the beauty we could ever imagine. I don't think there could be a more fitting tree to remember her :)Randihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13721332721285605959noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806053201573735298.post-21445633840847242862011-03-08T21:14:00.003-05:002011-03-08T21:20:07.883-05:00Facebook & Things...Facebook has robbed me of my blogging. I love blogging and writing out my thoughts because many times I feel about a million times better when I do. Now....I just go on FB and make a comment here or there....I don't get to articulate anything! I need to stay away from it and do more of this!<br /><br />I miss my husband. I miss my kids being happy and healthy. This winter has worn on all of us. We are 4 people 200% ready for spring! We have no idea what this spring will hold for us....lots of changes I know. The Lord has provided us peace though that whatever happens...it's going to work out. <br /><br />Whatever decisions we have to make....I want to make sure that we are doing everything that the Lord wants us to do.....I was reading last night in Luke about getting so involved in living in this world....that you miss your heavenly focus. I am fearful of doing that as our days are filled with work, kids, chores, etc. I don't want to forget through it all that I am here for one purpose and that is for God.<br /><br />Bob's snoozing on the couch...so I'd better get off here....<br /><br />P.S. I can't stand Brutus (our neighbor's dumb dog with a loud mouth that stands outside half the night and barks). OY!Randihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13721332721285605959noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806053201573735298.post-70648547517758570802010-07-01T07:16:00.003-04:002010-07-01T07:25:48.249-04:00Confession #81Swearing....<br /><br />So I don't swear...and I really never have (save trying to be "bad" in high school - very short-lived). It always felt awkward and unnatural.<br /><br />Well, I began reading Stephen King books when I was about 12 or 13 years old....and if you've never read them...they have ALOT of swearing in them!<br /><br />Well, as I read them I would feel bad because to me reading the words was just as bad as saying the words....so I developed an internal conversion chart....where each word had a "substitute" word that I would use in its place (ex: the "S" word would automatically be converted to "shoot" and so on and so forth). Well, apparently I was very good at it...because I STILL do it to this day. I told Bob I can be reading a Christian book that mentions Hell and my mind still reads "heck" first...(Of course in the Stephen King books it wasn't used as the Christian books use it).<br /><br />Same goes with reading things people put online with language I don't care for....My mind still converts all the words (which is actually very beneficial!) :)<br /><br />Now....if only I could find a way to convert audible words....then I'd be all set! :PRandihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13721332721285605959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806053201573735298.post-10002739174500322542009-11-20T16:18:00.003-05:002009-11-20T16:28:21.322-05:00Robbed of my Freedom...Found Clarity!I used to use this as a place to vent when something was really bothering me. It felt good to write it out. I enjoy writing, always have, and it was a good hiding place. But it's not a place to hide anymore. I feel like my freedom to express myself was taken away. I miss it. I've barely blogged in the past year and I miss it terribly. But now I am always wondering about what I'm saying, who will read it? will it be used against me? and it is more difficult to just let the words out...<br /><br />It's no fun to live in the past...but what do you do when you feel bound there by others? Just let it go? Accept it? Move on?<br /><br />I'm not a bad person. People who know me know that. I like to keep to myself, have my small circle of fantastic friends, my family, my wonderful children. I don't want to be ruled by something I can't control. I think that's my answer.<br /><br />God knows my sins. He knows my sorrow and regrets. He knows my hurt and my pain. What I really need to do is just give it over to Him and be ME. If I am me, and people don't like me, atleast I am being true to who I am and not fake and unhappy. Or if I AM unhappy, atleast I'm still happy being ME! :) <br /><br />I refuse to be ruled by the past! I refuse to be bound there, by myself or others. The Lord doesn't want me there, and if I give Him control....then I WON'T be there!<br /><br />Ok.... Thanks for listening. What do you know!? It's still therapeutic after all!Randihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13721332721285605959noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806053201573735298.post-7562309053986444722009-10-12T15:37:00.001-04:002009-10-12T15:37:53.722-04:00Too Much For Words...Our kids are awesome. Totally awesome. I have missed blogging and telling you all about them and what they are up to. I'm going to try to do that now...<br /><br />Sometimes Alex "talks" with his mouth shut...so it's more like a big groan.<br /><br />Maleah asks "Why?" but doesn't know why she's asking it half the time.<br /><br />Alex is all boy but squeals like a little girl sometimes. It's soooo funny!<br /><br />Maleah loves to play pretend, with her dollhouses, or even just her hands :)<br /><br />Alex has had to hold a lovey since he was a month old!<br /><br />Maleah still doesn't eat much...but I think we're up to about 6 total foods!<br /><br /><strong>****I recorded the above on August 18th and never got to finish my post...How sad :( These two are amazing and I miss blogging but they are so much more fun :) ****</strong><br /><br />Maleah is talking so big....full sentences and all. She remembers everything...even showed me where she hid when she drew on her pants this morning. :) She knows to hide but doesn't know not to tell ;) That's a good thing :) She's eating better and sleep is on and off good....but she is amazing. We've watched her turn from this baby to this big kid. She doesn't like to play alot with kids her own age....but babies she adores, older kids she tries to be like, and adults she does ok with once the shyness is gone. She's polite most of the time and only throws fits when she's tired or hungry. She has quite the personality. She still asks why and doesn't understand why she's even asking....so when she does that I just ignore her :) She loves to take pictures of everything and does a wonderful job at it too :) She loves to paint and color and draws very good faces for a 2 year old :) She can operate the computer with ease, playing games on NickJr.com, typing messages and sending faces to her daddy on Yahoo Messenger and pulling up and watching her iTunes shows and DVDs. She loves Miss Amy at church and calls it "Miss Amy's House". She has begun praying over her meals, the "God is great" prayer....and is so proud of herself for it. She loves her mommy and daddy. She is a totally mommy's girl at the moment...hardly allowing anyone else to do anything for her...it's all mommy. She adores her baby brother. She takes care of him, being the first to go in his room when he wakes from a nap, turning off his fan and telling him "Hi buddy, Hi, Nice Boy". She asks for her Gramma every day and called her Papa yesterday to tell him "Who-Dey!!!" after the Bengals won :) She is an amazing little girl and I am so blessed that the Lord would allow me to spend even a moment of my day with her.<br /><br />Alex is so big! You have no idea! He has this mop on top of his head...he's had 3 trims so far and I think we'll have to go full-blown cut. It's so thick it looks like a (phonetically) two-pay :) (have NO idea how to spell that!). It's a beautiful reddish brownish orange and just gorgeous. He's as silly as I've ever seen for a 6 month old. He loves playing "Peeky-boo" with Maleah and cracks up at her. He talks to her all the time. Baby Jacey at our friend's house was crying (2 weeks old) and he was mimicking her because he thought she was talking to him. He loves to squeal and has started to growl too. He's just in the last week or two started to say "Mamamamama" which I am thrilled with :) He eats up to 3 jars per meal on his baby food stage 1's and as soon as these are all eaten, he's ready for stage 2 :) He's been opening his mouth for food since he was about 2 months old so I'm not surprised at his eating :) He's been wearing 6-9 month clothes for about a month...he's SOOO long. Currently over the 95% on height....Bob says wide receiver for the Buckeyes :) He's just begun sitting up, he rolls from one side of the living room to the other with ease...and oh so fast. :) He gets to excited to get a bottle...he'll cry like there's no tomorrow and as soon as that bottle is in sight, his body starts shaking and he exhales these little breaths until he gets it...perfectly calm in half a second. He loves attention and will do whatever he has to do to get it. He loves to turn upside down....which I think he's too young for, but he doesn't care :) There are no boundaries for him :) He gets so excited to see his Papa, flailing and jumping in your arms until he takes him. He cries almost every day when I get home until I pick him up....a mama's boy I guess :) He's such a good boy and just so pleasant to be around :) He's observant always watching everything and wants to be big so bad! I thought having Maleah was a blessing, but you add a second...Alex is so different and so amazing in his own ways. He has made our family complete.<br /><br />When people ask me about my kids, most of the time I can just smile and say "They are awesome" because my heart explodes with love and pride over them and if I get started talking about them I can hardly stop. They are amazing. God is so good. How someone can look at these miracles and not know that there is a Creator out there....whom we should be bowing down and thanking every day that He would allow us to be in the presence of something so precious.<br /><br />If you haven't gotten to be around them....you should :) These are two of the most amazing individuals God has ever created :) Golly, we just love love love them :)<br /><br />(Sorry for the long paragraphs...like I said, once I start, it's hard to stop!)Randihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13721332721285605959noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806053201573735298.post-4714330276208379442009-10-12T15:03:00.001-04:002009-10-12T15:48:18.162-04:00Just a few....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgprgY5xayolA5VFCanIUMa1Wjktyz1upDLakH9vOyNR3k0psUX2Azriw9mzMg1zstZWsH-575v7E2v_0NHXXvauT1NQz-9BL5LhCbWCj_UJ4t_xfqcbwIpaTqo-aHkC8Pb0hGX-h2RjYSo/s1600-h/Picture+076.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

He's just so awesome!!!Randihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13721332721285605959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806053201573735298.post-9060468962268708172009-07-07T15:19:00.003-04:002009-07-07T15:38:02.851-04:00Updates....Well, I started back to work...then my back got worse...and I was off Thurs. last week (closed Friday). I'm back this week and nice and busy, which makes those 4 hours go fast. I miss my babies...and love coming home to Maleah's loving hugs and excited "Mommy's home!" Alex sees me and grins and gets so excited, and he talks so big now! I can't wait to show more pictures...there's one my dad took that is SOOOO Alex!!!<br /><br />I am so thankful to be home with the kids. I couldn't ask for anything more. Alex is snoozing and Maleah's getting her babies ready for us to give them bubble baths :) We are gonna have a great time! It'll be fun to get her outside when Alex wakes up too! :)<br /><br />I am so incredibly blessed. God is so good. That's such an inadequate statement to describe how thankful I am. But the extent of my thankfulness bursts from my heart, and I know He knows!<br /><br />It was awesome seeing all of my family last week. Maleah likes to lay on our table and point out who everyone is in the picture. She hasn't forgotten hardly anyone. Even the two Cole's don't confuse her :)<br /><br />It's a beautiful day today! I hope you are enjoying it as much as I am :)<br /><br />Remember....SMILE! :) If you don't feel like it, do it anyway! And if you keep doing it, eventually you won't even realize you are! :)Randihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13721332721285605959noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806053201573735298.post-53549329218000789582009-06-29T07:07:00.002-04:002009-06-29T07:09:59.112-04:00Back to Work...Well, it's off to work today (shortened hours yes, but still leaving my babies). :(<br /><br />I tell ya what though...it's like Alex knows! First, he slept ALL night...didn't wake up until about 6:15! That's the longest he's ever slept! Second, he didn't just fall back to sleep after his bottle! He stayed up and played and laughed with me :)He wanted alone time with Mommy! :) I'm going to miss him so much! :( Maleah too! <br /><br />Please pray for me if you can....just that I'll be able to focus there while missing them like CRAZY!!!!Randihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13721332721285605959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806053201573735298.post-59375559288405820902009-06-24T11:28:00.003-04:002009-06-24T15:19:31.183-04:00My Own Random Passing Thoughts...Who knew the weapons of mass destruction that Bush was looking for would be found in the persons making up the new administration? Between them, the dems in the senate and house...it seems like the hopes of this country are fading. Don't get me wrong though...Biden makes it entertaining atleast...<br /><br />Speaking of entertaining, saw on the news that Perez Hilton called another person a gay slur...Talk about LOL. Tell me, Perez, when you say something's gay do you think about what you say???...<br /><br />Speaking of gay...how about the government spending over $400G to research why men in Argentina are meeting for "special time" in public restrooms...what an EXCELLENT use of our taxpayer dollars!...<br /><br />Speaking of taxpayer dollars, how about the $450G our government spent to find out why men don't want to wear the "glove" during the "fun times"...<br /><br />Speaking of fun times, lots of family is coming up this weekend to spend the week of the 4th with all of us...I am SOOOO looking forward to that!...<br /><br />Speaking of family, I'm going to have to start leaving mine next week to go back to work :( Sad, but thanks to an awesome employer I get to cut my hours way back to spend time with the kids!...<br /><br />Speaking of spending time...this is not a great use of mine while the kids are sleeping! <br /><br />I don't know how Bob keeps up on the random passing thoughts...I can't do it! It's exhausting! <br /><br />Off to do my Bible study...but the kids are fantastic, Alex is sooo big! Maleah's been sleeping in her big girl bed and hasn't exited her room without permission for a week and a half! Bob is Bob :) I am gearing up to go back to work Monday. Gotta do it, so why dread it??? Atleast not until Sunday night, when I look at those two beautiful faces and know that I'll miss them for 4 hours the next morning. :( My boss is so great working with me though. I feel led to be home more, so it's great that he's working with me. No manipulation, no back & forth, I knew what God wanted of me and I asked. Praise the Lord it was answered! They are truly amazing kids and I am so proud of them. :) <br /><br />I got to go to a Paints game last night with my dad for Father's Day, just the two of us, and we had alot of fun :) :) The hot dogs still rock! Next Tuesday is dime-a-dog night...sad I'll miss it!<br /><br />There are prayer requests I have...remember Rodney Lens, Beth and her family and all they are going through, and those hurting for losses recently suffered. Every new bad thing that pops up is just a reminder that this world is NOT our home and I praise the Lord for that!<br /><br />Times a wastin'! Gotta go!<br /><br />No apologies here! :)Randihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13721332721285605959noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806053201573735298.post-83730260101616980262009-06-15T14:43:00.000-04:002009-06-15T14:42:45.131-04:00Alex Smiling!!!I LOVE to see babies smile!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnfwSW2TXdHxabF9ueI5V9KsFuQ4dw3gPDMov0MLawNfFeOUQJL0X71RwZ5X-j74wtn7Yr198bEKv4TID6ajceZ6jRmYhkccpHK9O5vbE8m6fmgIIedXBYN6-ADV6_tMih9Qwz1Uduwwsm/s1600-h/upload+268.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnfwSW2TXdHxabF9ueI5V9KsFuQ4dw3gPDMov0MLawNfFeOUQJL0X71RwZ5X-j74wtn7Yr198bEKv4TID6ajceZ6jRmYhkccpHK9O5vbE8m6fmgIIedXBYN6-ADV6_tMih9Qwz1Uduwwsm/s320/upload+268.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347622794386233346" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqXk74J4fIWp9g0VbPYuEIx8Fy_vgTUrNRUTAMlb3Rn14RBgTn10ON9eju8TWl1qednrAa8HdgFTfuGGE5EZhQhUY5cei_B2nD9uAHJrTin3SojaqTiNjJADtACJnHsPSVkiAlnTYZccwX/s1600-h/upload+269.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqXk74J4fIWp9g0VbPYuEIx8Fy_vgTUrNRUTAMlb3Rn14RBgTn10ON9eju8TWl1qednrAa8HdgFTfuGGE5EZhQhUY5cei_B2nD9uAHJrTin3SojaqTiNjJADtACJnHsPSVkiAlnTYZccwX/s320/upload+269.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347622784818977970" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEn28in_9O8fFIu51hEDO5WIB-g9MlKTXpU8ZJyTBGlTEUwinqGXc9exzbqiEhGx-Tc9qFWcjWmsQu0bBjoIuZN7a0AmdIbe8shw6ljaFaZyOdBkrwsSHJpafjSIuUiw37PnDsND-NuLqy/s1600-h/upload+279.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEn28in_9O8fFIu51hEDO5WIB-g9MlKTXpU8ZJyTBGlTEUwinqGXc9exzbqiEhGx-Tc9qFWcjWmsQu0bBjoIuZN7a0AmdIbe8shw6ljaFaZyOdBkrwsSHJpafjSIuUiw37PnDsND-NuLqy/s320/upload+279.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347622784715780210" /></a>Randihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13721332721285605959noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806053201573735298.post-29752083276247699062009-06-15T14:34:00.002-04:002009-06-15T14:42:16.244-04:00Maleah dressing herself....There's a phrase we hear all day long...<br /><br /><em><strong>"Baby do it"</strong></em><br /><br />When she knows she's getting it, she says "Baby doinin' it"<br /><br />So most of the time...we let her do it.
