Precious Moments

Wednesday, April 26, 2006 Precious Moments Current mood: sleepy Tonight my 8 year old son has been talking to my 6 week old baby. It is the cutest, sweetest thing. He has been telling her all about his playstation game, Shrek 2. He describes to her all the characters and says she can be Tink when she plays, because "Tink shoots spiders". He sounds so serious... he really means what he is saying. And she just sits there and stares at him, hanging on every word. Listening to him talk about "Gingy" and "Puss [in boots]" and all the other characters is just so cool. I took some photos and I will post them here. It is so neat that they all love her so much but I am surprised at how much he absolutely adores her. He is always asking to hold her and take care of her. He is certain that he is the one who can walk with her and make her feel better anytime she is crying. (And she does stop crying for him). Any future boyfriends she has better fear her big brother I think!! He is going to be really protective. I know I know... I have Charleigh in boy clothes today. What can I say... I have to do laundry! And following TWO boys, I have a lot of little boy clothes! Tristan is 8 and Charleigh is almost 7 weeks old 10:12 PM - 0 Comments - 0 Kudos - Add Comment - Edit - Remove

Tuesday, April 25, 2006 The Day GOD SPILLED THE PAINT! Current mood: calm Category: Religion and Philosophy The Day GOD SPILLED THE PAINT! The east side of the Carrizo plain, in the Temblor Range, about 50 miles due west of Bakersfield , California . Photo taken by Barbara Mathews May 14. 2005 Nothing man can do could ever equal the glory of God's creations. I receive emails from my friend Joy almost daily and today's email was one that I wanted to share... It's the day to trust, not fear. This doesn't mean to stop thinking and using our best judgement, our God given common sense and just trusting...like spending money we don't have for things we don't need and just trusting it will be okay. There are other examples, we can each probably fill in the blanks. Psalms 143:8 - Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. In other words-God lead me and guide me in what I should be doing and help me to listen and follow this lead... 2:33 PM - 1 Comments - 2 Kudos - Add Comment - Edit - Remove
