Take a step back

I was going through pictures earlier and found some very funny ones. I remember this Sunday very distinctly. It was our anniversary, and we chose to spend it with our 3 beautiful girls. It was a perfect spring day. A little cool and well....you can see what happened.

Hubby and 2 kiddos enjoying the hammock. Why is it that Dad's think they must test the limits of each and every moving object?!

Well, you see what happens when they do that!!! And no, honey, it had nothing to do with the fact that I was the one who hung the hammock- you shouldn't swing that high!!!

Our oldest safe and sound and far away from the hammock!! This was taken just before the collapse.

And Daddy hitching a ride back up to the house to fetch tools to rehang the hammock. It wasn't my fault!!!

It's time to take a step back away from the Hoedown for a moment- however brief it may be.


Life continues here with three amazing children and an awesome husband who I don't recognize nearly enough. God has truly blessed me many times over and in the middle of day to day happenings it's so easy to forget that. We just spent a wonderful evening here spread out in the middle of the floor playing Scrabble together (and no, we didn't score nearly as many points as Mom and Chip!!). I actually don't think we had one word over 5 letters, but the time we spent together was "priceless". One of those moments when I "BLINK" and take a picture in my mind to (hopefully) keep forever.

Hug your family tonight and tell them just how important they are to you. I know my husband and a couple of my kids read this-

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! YOU ROCK!!!

At 11:30 am eastern time tomorrow my sweet sister-in-law will see the specialist. Please, take a moment to pray for her. We love you, M!!!!

In Him,
