Awesome Website

Many of you have received postcard size pictures from me. My Baby shower Thank Yous, Our Christmas Card 07 and Caleb's Birthday Invites were all from a website called Vista Prints. I have also used this site for address labels and an address stamp. They do great work, have lots of templates, are pretty quick about getting the product back out and have deals all the time. Anyway I am posting a refer a friend link that helps me get credit when you place orders. Check it out the next time you need any cards printed, business cards of any kind or address labels.

Kids say the darnest things

These are some great things that kids have said. Hold on to your seat for the last one!!

MELANIE (age 5) asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied she was so old she didn't remember any more. Melanie said, 'If you don't remember you must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to six.'

STEVEN (age 3) hugged and kissed his Mom good night. 'I love you so much that when you die I'm going to bury you outside my bedroom window.'

BRITTANY (age 4) had an earache and wanted a pain killer. She tried in vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustration, her Mom explained it was a child-proof cap and she'd have to open it for her. Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: 'How does it know it's me?'

SUSAN (age 4) was drinking juice when she got the hiccups. 'Please don't give me this juice again,' she said, 'It makes my teeth cough.'

DJ (age 4) stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: 'How much do I cost?'

MARC (age 4) was engrossed in a young couple that were hugging and kissing in a restaurant. Without taking his eyes off them, he asked his dad: 'Why is he whispering in her mouth?'

CLINTON (age 5) was in his bedroom looking worried. When his Mom asked what was troubling him, he replied, 'I don't know what'll happen with this bed when I get married. How will my wife fit in?'

JAMES (age 4) was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: 'The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city but his wife looked back and was turned to salt.' Concerned, James asked: 'What happened to the flea?'

TAMMY (age 4) was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather wrinkled woman her Mom knew. Tammy looked at her for a while and then asked, 'Why doesn't your skin fit your face?'

The Sermon I think this Mom will never forget.... This particular Sunday sermon...'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a
rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust...' He would
have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening
leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four year old
girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

HE WALKS!!

We have been away from Caleb for the day on a youth trip and when we got home tonight I put Caleb up on his feet and away he went! Not so great at turns just yet and sometimes when he falls he still thinks crawling is faster and easier but he walked all over his room, down the hall and all over the living room tonight. We got plenty of footage!

Randomness

I thought I'd better check in with all of my loyal readers. I am here in Oklahoma for a family vacation. Caleb and I are enjoying spending time with Nanna and Papa (Jeremys parents). We love the weather (except its been rainy), we love the resturants (Dinks & Sonic), we love the people!

The day we left to come down I managed to get Caleb into the doctor, he'd been acting funny and pulling at his ears. Yup, he has yet another ear infection and is on antibodics. And now has and apt with and ENT when we get home because he's had several infections recently. Other updates are that Caleb has taken a few independent steps of his own. He is learning how to safely go down the stairs, as dad already taught him how to get up the stairs I figured he needed to learn how to go down before he FALLS DOWN. I also found tooth number NINE waaaay in the back of his mouth.

I am feeling better. Sore throat every so often. The big dissapointment is that my tastebuds are messed up. Dr. Pepper just doesnt taste the way it used to. I have lost several pounds on top of what I have already lost earlier this year from being sick so often with reoccuring throat infections. Now, not much of my clothes are fitting these days. A great problem to most but some of the clothes I just wont replace b/c some were work clothes that I just dont need anymore but are nice to have for church or nice occasions. I am not complaining but its frustrating to have all your clothes look dumpy on.

Jeremy is at home all alone for the week. Stop by or give him a call if you can. Bring a jacket I am sure he has it COLD since I'm not there.

Anyway that is the 411 on us.

Sadness

I just received some sad news. My OB/GYN Dr. John Murphy died Sunday morning. This is the doctor I've been seeing for 6 years now and he delivered Caleb. He was an amazing wonderful doctor. He could always make me laugh, even when I was huge and uncomfortable climbing up on the table waiting to hear Caleb's heartbeat. The crazy thing is I just saw him two weeks ago, I knew that I wouldn't be back to the office because we are moving from the area. But I am still saddened all the same that his life has been cut short. I will post a link to the newspaper article and there are many community posts about his passing. He had a huge impact on thousands of lives. I don't know if he knew the Lord or not but maybe his untimely departure from this world will cause many more to stop and think about their future and eternity. I pray that you will consider your own eternity if you aren't sure what will happen to you after you die.

One the Road Again

Well, most of you know that we are once again moving this summer. AND once again are not exactly sure where it is we are moving. We have a couple of locations on the horizon and we are just trying to figure out where God wants us to be.
This move is exciting and scary at the same time b/c we really feel God calling us to do something different from what we've ever done before. Its crazy in all of this unknowing we have such a peace that this is where its at and we are heading the direction we should be, even if we arent sure what direction it physically is yet. I'll keep you as updated as I can. We are hopeing to know more by the end of the month.
Our summer is already jam packed so fitting interviewing into the mix has proven difficult but we'll manage.
