I Needed This

A Parent's Prayer

Dear Lord,

Today, I once again bring my children to You. Please show me how to parent these precious gifts that you have given me. Help me to the best mother that I can be. I pray that Your Holy Spirit will teach me, Your wisdom will guide me, and Your love will move me. Most of all, Lord, I give these children to You. Please make them a servant after Your own heart. In Jesus Name I pray.

Amen.

Relay For Life Wreath

I was on the decorating committee this year for Relay For Life. So I got to put some of my crafting to use for a good cause. I searched pintrest for a wreath to use on our entry doors. I found some that were created for breast cancer awareness. I used the style that I like and changed it a bit.  I changed the pink fabric to purple and added the letters to spell out hope.

I tied the fabric on, alternating dark purple and light purple.

Then I painted the letters white and hot glued them on. Easy project for a good cause.

Burlington Bees

This was Rylan's first year to play T-Ball. It was hands down the cutest thing I've ever watched. I can't believe our boy is big enough to play T-Ball. I have looked forward to this day for a few years. He was a great little player. He liked playing pitcher and first base, and he LOVED batting.

Did I mention he had a really HOT coach?

Blossom

A little update:  Our sweet "Blossom" (as Nana and Papaw call her) is growing up very fast. She will be 20 months on July 11. She is beginning to talk, telling us what she likes and what she doesn't like. She is playing with her baby dolls more and more. She likes to push them in cars and strollers, put them in her highchair, give them bottles and pacifiers, and very often requests that they sleep with her. She is very similar to her big brother but also very much her own independent self. If she can't say the word she is looking for she will show you what she wants. She is very into everything her brother is into.  Watching our babies play together is simply the best thing in this world.  Being this sweet girls momma is a blessing.
