stormy weather

God be near. praise the Lord that josh and i, and our families are all safe. God literally lifted the tornado over us and protected us through the terrible storms yesterday. i am heartbroken over the devistation and loss of life that we are witnessing from the news. while my family sat in the safety of our basement, we were watching the news... i'll never forget what we saw as (one of dozens) of storms hit our state.

we watched this live on tv... whoop-dee-do... people's lives were lost and their homes destroyed. all while i was safe in my little basement. why? why them and not us? God, please be near. people are hurting. lives have been changed forever.

please help us to do your work in the next few days. help us to help others and Lord, please put people in our path that need you.

thank you for your protection.

family pictures

josh and i have had custody of sweet t for more than four months now. while we don't know the long term ending of this story, we know that we love him more than everything. we also wanted to have pictures of us as a family. josh's cousin, Page, has a great talent as a photographer. she came and shot our first set of family pictures with sweet t. below are a few of the many great shots that she got. we had a great great time with her and are so happy to have a permanant set of memories from this exciting time in our life. 
want page to take some awesome pictures of your cute kiddos? just let me know and i'll get you her informaiton! she's great!

whatever works

i have a friend that graciously gave me several cans of formula the other day. it's kind of a pain to mix bottles on demand, so i've tried to make the job as efficient as possible. well, these cans are 13 oz and you have to add that much water. i have found that i did not have the right size container to mix this formula up. so, i started looking through the cabinets in my kitchen that are filled to the brim with gadgets that i don't use on a regular basis, and i found exactly what i was looking for!


pour formula, add water, shake, strain, cover!

Dissapointed

Ok. I haven't posted in a week. I'm sorry! My post today won't really count for much other than the apology. Because..... I'm headed to the beach in a few minutes and I wil not be blogging! I will be thinking about blogging and maybe even taking pictures to put in my next blog... Hope you all enjoy your weekend! I am sure planning on it!
