A new favorite picture

I can't wait to frame this picture! It has my favorite people and a new favorite memory of our family lake house. We spent fall break this way:

Seeing more deer than people
Seeing more water than land
Breathing more outdoor air than indoor air
Playing more games than the casinos
Watching Macy crawl out of bed more times than I could count
Eating soup and chili that my husband made (de-lish)
Eating at a new restaurant our family is calling "Sabrina's Choice"

it was fun and much needed. I can't wait to go back.

Macy Marie

Bill took these pictures of macy while I was gone one afternoon. He's such a good daddy. Watching daddy/daughter interaction is one of my favorite things-and she's my sweetie. I love having a girl. Precious, precious she is.

another fun shoot!

Obsessed with Genesis

Okay, this may not be a news flash to you (but it totally was to me) and I've been obsessed with it for a few days now. Remember how I've been saturated in God's timing lately? This is great~

I'm going to spill my way through this post, so try to follow me, it's rich!

Genesis 1, He Created:

Day 1 Light and Dark
Day 2 Sky and Water
Day 3 Land and Seas
Day 4 Sun, Moon, Stars
Day 5 Fish and Birds
Day 6 Animals and Humans
Day 7 Rest

Here's the fun part-

Numbers 1, 2, and 3 are all things that SEPARATE
Numbers 4, 5. and 6 are all things that FILL


Number 6 fills 3
Number 5 fills 2
Number 4 fills 1

So, my Genesis page is covered with lines and numbers. God is so smart. I think I'll praise Him today for that. :)
Happy Tuesday!

Last day of summer and First Day of school 2009!

We have a PLETHORA of boys in our neighborhood. Garrett usually has a playmate, anytime-anyday. It's been such a blessing this summer. They love to ride their bikes to Hafer, swim in the "eight foot pool" and play super heros. I love them. EACH. AND. EVERY. ONE. because of the friend they've been to my son. Because of their love of the Father. Because they're gentle with Miss Mace and because they are dirty, sweaty, stinky, silly, burpin' boys. On the last day of summer we all walked to Hafer and played for hours. We had a ton of pizza left from Trip's surprise party the night before, so I had all the boys over for lunch. What a great day it was. Thank you Jesus for sunshine and neighbors- turned- into- friends that I never knew I'd be lucky enough to have.







These are our pictures of the first day of school. I can't believe it's gone so fast. Isn't that every mom's line? I read "The Kissing Hand" over breakfast. Nobody really wanted to listen but me, so I quit half way through(and no one really noticed either). Maybe next year when he's gone all day he'll appreciate it. he he

last chance museum trip

Now that we're nearing the end of summer, Garrett is holding me accountable to all of the day trips I've promised for the summer. The Sam Noble dinosaur museum being one. So, together- with a friend and her sweet girls, we journeyed to Norman and had a blast. It was a beautiful day for a picnic outside and a great time had by all. We lucked into the Discovery room and they had a little story with a clay making craft. Garrett made a 'raptor' and macy made a 'ladybug/butterfly/ball'. Tomorrow we're headed to the cabin to Meemers and Papa Bill's. boats, go carts, golf carts, chuck wagons, oh my!
