Waiting and waiting

This is serious!

Waiting on brother

We are just eating, sleeping, walking and waiting on baby brother.
I am getting a little anxious, the boys keep asking when he
is coming and I wish I could tell them. So I just have to
wait on the Lord's timing-I need to remind myself daily.

Feeling Crafty

Just a shot of the crib bedding

one of 7 blankets

cape-flame side

cape-lightning bolt

Asher's cape

I just recently learned how to use a sewing machine and I have been enjoying this new outlet. Thanks to Alex for letting me borrow her sewing machine for a while. So far to date I have made 7 baby blankets for friends and cousins, 6 burp cloths, 2 bibs sorta-Eunice did most of it and I just recently finished two capes for the boys.
The boys wanted flame capes :) so they have guitar flames on one side with their initial and then another initial on the plain side with a little "sign. " Benny got a lightning bolt and Asher got a POW, Benny calls it a bomb with his initial (which I find extremely fitting for his personality) :)
Joe was the big hero and took the capes to a screen printer he works with and they put the initials and artwork on for free-the boys were so excited when they saw them.
On my upcoming list I am redoing a bookshelf with burlap, and making baby blankets for me, Ashlee, Allison, make a few pillows for my cousin's baby room and make two more capes for the boys. Hopefully my energy holds out before this little boy decides to come-sooner than later.

My Style

I am not sure if this is my style, I honestly have no clue what my style is but it was a fun quiz to take. Thanks Hope!



What's your interior style quiz?

We had a great time at KBC hanging with cousin's. The kids had a lot of fun and were
worn out every day (my master plan). Here are a few pictures of our activities
through out the week. I missed taking pictures in the pool which we did every day.
Asher learned to jump off the diving board on the count of 1, and Ben used a
floatie to be in the big pool :)
Cousin's colored, wrestled, played and built together-it was a real fun week.
Joe did a great job speaking and had fun as well. Three young women
accepted the Lord which was so encouraging-Praise the Lord!
It was great to be able to serve the Lord and spend time with family.

Happy Birthday to Joe

Happy Birthday to my wondeful husband who turned 26 today. We had a few
people over or dinner and birthday pie. Joe didn't want any one who came
to know it was his birthday-he called it a reverse surprise party :)
We had his favorite, biscuits n gravy, grits, over easy eggs and sweet tea.
(we sound like a southern family)
For dessert we had peanut butter Reeses ice cream pie and
chocolate mirange pie. Then we all played Trivial Pursuit :)
He loved all of it, including his hand colored puzzle from Benny and his
Andy McKee CD.
Love you Babe! I am so glad I can celebrate your birthday with you!
You are a wonderful gift to me.

Daddies are so fun

A couple of weeks ago Joe made tents for the boys in their bunk beds.
The boys loved it, and enjoyed sleeping in their new tent beds all night.
I am so blessed that Joe plays such an active and vital role in the boys lives.
They just adore him and the time they all spend together is so precious.
I love that man! and those boys!

Update

Yesterday May 20, at 11:28 a.m.

My nephew

Gibeon David Johnson
was delivered into the world

he was 1 lb 7 oz, 6 inches long

Parents of Elizabeth and David Johnson

He is now in the arms of the Lord.

Gibeon was delivered with his umbilical cord wrapped tightly around his neck.
The doctors think he died 2-3 weeks ago.

Please pray for Elizabeth and David.
They told the boys yesterday about the Gibeon, and Elizabeth is being released from the hospital this afternoon.
Please pray for their continued strength and encouragement from the Lord as well as their emotional support.
