Lead me to the Cross

Its sometimes so easy for us to get caught up in living life, that we forget what living life is really all about. Sometimes we allow ourselves to be so blinded by the enemy that we forget to look at life through spiritual eyes. Sometimes we think we can do it all on our own. But, we can't....and we are usually reminded of that truth as we stare up from the place we've fallen to, wondering what happened. This song speaks straight to my heart....because the heart of this song is all about the cross...and the cross....well, the cross is why we have life. The cross is really what its all about...don't you think? I hope you worship with these words like I've been able to.

A Little From Our Week

Last night, we took the boys out to dinner and to get ice cream. As Ayden and Landon were enjoying their cup of strawberry deliciousness, Ayden looked up and told me, "God gave us tongues so we can taste ice cream." I love the way he sees God and I love the glimpse of the Father that I get through his little four year old eyes.

Ayden has also been having an incredibly hard time with being homesick for Missouri lately. He has also turned into quite the storyteller. So, the other night, this is the one he told me:
Julia and Levi came to Jacksonville, Florida to get me. Then we gooooot in the car, and we drove a loooooooong way to Missouri. That's where Grammy's house is. And Julia and Levi were so glad to see me. Then we had seeeeeven sleeping nights. Then we went to my old house in Missouri. And Julia and Levi came to my old blue room. And we had cookies!!

He has also appointed himself tutor for Landon's speech. He tells Landon to say all kinds of words (good ones, though....get your mind out of the gutter!). "Landy, say 'mama'....daddy, poppy, grammy, poot-ie-ay.... But, there's one word, in a certain tone of voice, that he has never told Landon to say. Yet, Landon has it down perfectly. He said it last night at Target after I tried a pair of flip flops on his feet but then put them back. Are you ready? You'll have to really picture this...with all the attitude I'm pretty sure I used when I was a kid (and probably still do at times)..."MAmaaaaa." Like, "hello, I wanted that to go MY way." Jesse just laughed....

Its all his fault, you know. I was a good kid. Its a good thing his children are as cute as he is...

Interesting Facts

One (1) jar of Camden's baby food has more carbs than my diet allows in an entire day.

If the back strap on Landon's flip flop is in the wrong place on his ankle, he plops his little self down, says "soo, soo" while pointing at the problem area, and waits for me to fix it. BUT, when the thong part (pardon my terminology) moves from in between his big toe and second toe to in between his second and third toes, he is not at all bothered.

Ayden doesn't like to eat his Goldfish crackers when they are "wet" because his macaroni and cheese sauce seeped over into the Goldfish area of the plate. Horror!!

All three of my boys have snotty noses this week. Yep, that one was for free.

I really want some chocolate. Or an orange. Or a big plate of pasta. Or...well, I could go on. But, I won't.

That is all for now.
