Got Milk????

No but he is trying!!!!!!!!!!! Land had a little fun at "BOO at the ZOO" with the wooden milking cow!


Until next time..................
May we all be craving the right milk!
1 Peter 2:2 NIV
Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,

Why I Love Living In Small Town USA!


There are times when I just say to myself how blessed I am to live where I do. Today was one of those. Nothing special or extraordinary happened. It was just an ordinary day(my favorite kind). I was getting into my car leaving our little grocery store and I felt such contentment. It doesn't have a big deli or bakery but it does have all of the necessities for you to purchase things and go home and create your own deli or bakery if you so choose. What I love most about it is that the people who work there know me. I could forget my purse and they would let me bring my groceries home because they know me. The drug store is next door and I can call them up and they will fill my prescriptions and they know me. They even know what I need! I love that!




I love the fact that the only time there is heavy traffic is at 7:45 in the morning because people are out and about taking their children to school. I only have to stop at two red lights on the way to school and just one on the way home. I love that!




I don't mind that our dining out options are limited because the few that we do have are delicious. My Land would much rather eat at home any way. When he was little he would lovingly rub our kitchen table and tell me how much he loved to eat there. Now that's motivation to do more cooking at home! I love that!




I know that God puts us right where He wants us to be and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.


Here I am content! I love that!




Until next time....................




I hope that you too find contentment.


Job 36:11 NIV
If they obey and serve Him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity and their years in contentment.

Does This Say Love or What!

Can you tell that these two just love each other to pieces! It is so sweet to just watch the two of them together. Their actions speak louder than words!

We all need to do a little more of this!

Let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
1 John 3:18

Until next time............

Having A "Ball" This Fall!

Yes, we are literally having a ball, a football that is! Land is playing for his Middle School team and this is keeping all of us very busy. He has practice every day until about six and then games every Thursday. He's doing a great job. This is a guy that has wanted to be a "sootball" boy since he was three years old! Back then he wore a football uniform to play in everyday! Here he is now in a real uniform after a big win. His position is full back and it is so much fun(and nerve racking) watching him play. We are so blessed to have a great group of Christian coaches leading these young men.
Here's Land and cousin Jayde before their first pep rally. I had to sneak over to his school to get some pictures and a peek into the fun before their first big game. Which they won!

Hugging on my very sweaty big guy after a game. Look how tall he is!!!!!!! and he just keeps growing. I think he's going to pass Paul soon.


My two favorite big guys! See how he is almost as tall as his dad. We are loving these fun, fall football days!




Here's my handsome guy ready to leave for his second year of Cotillion. He has grown so much since last year's Cotillion.




And no post would be complete without the little ones soaking up some fall fun! No pictures of my big girl this time and Greg they are busy with church and work but they did manage to slip in a quick flight to Florida to visit Mickey Mouse(we were so jealous)!




Oh and I did FINALLY get the house decorated for fall before we had some very special dinner guests last week.
I do love fall........ the leaves, apples, chilly days, warm soup, pumpkins, jackets and steaming coffee on my new porch where I am headed right now(pictures soon). I hope you are loving the fall season as much as we are!!
Until next time...................
Galatians 4:10 NIV
You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
Make this season of your life special!
