Life is Short

We got a call last night that Paul's best childhood friend died. His mom found him laying in his living room. He died of an apparent accidental prescription drug overdose. He left behind a daughter, a mom, a brother and a niece. Paul is beside himself. Pray for healing in the family.

There are some sick people out there...

Last night I got a call from our Principal saying that someone had set fire to our playground at school. Apparently, someone coated the slide with a flammable liquid, probably gasoline and set fire at about 7:00 Pm. This is what is left of the slide.
I felt sick to my stomach upon hearing this news.

The kids were terribly upset today. I understand why. Someone had enough hate in their heart to purposefully ruin our playground. Sickening, eh?

Happy Earth Day!

10

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the date I married my wonderful husband! I am so blessed to have a husband that I love and trust! He is a wonderful dad and I LOVE watching him interact with the kids. So Happy Anniversary baby! I LOVE YOU!

Easter 2010

Happy Easter to all of you! This is the only good picture I got today. So enjoy it. :)

We spent Easter Eve with my mom and sister. I thought I'd forgotten my camera so of course, I have no pictures. When I got home, I realized it was in the diaper bag the whole time. Oh well. We all had a nice dinner and laughed at my crazy kids. We also held mom's 17 day old kittens! So precious! Anyone need a cat?
We went to my mother in law's church on Sunday. J and Miss M went to their respective classrooms and we all went to the church. I was in shock that M didn't cry! She usually stays with us. Well, about 30 minutes into the service, I see our number up on the screen. Needless to say, we got her and brought her into the church. She ate some snacks and sat like a good girl. She loves the music and danced on my lap!
We then went out to dinner which is weird to me but no one wanted to cook. J spent the entire time telling Paul's aunt all about how Jesus dies on the cross and rose again (since she wasn't at church). We were home by 3 and M took a nap and j played outside! Not too bad for an Easter!

Magical

Last night we were eating dinner talking with J about how is is disrespectful for people to say, "Oh My God" and how that hurts Jesus' feelings. We were then talking about my Uncle Ken who had a successful surgery and how we prayed for him, Then J says, "Jesus really is magical. He can fix the bad things"

Well said my boy!
