DNA

I can't even pretend to understand the complexity of atoms, molecules and DNA.  But I do find it fascinating to see how God mixes up these microscopic cells and puts them together in a unique way to form a precious person, created in His image.  I thought it might be fun to compare Ethan and Addison's one year pictures with some pictures of us and our siblings at about that age.  Please leave lots of comments, as I would love to hear your perspective!

And yes, I got permission from my siblings/siblings-in-law to post their amazingly cute baby pictures:)

Personalities

I just love to see God crafting the very unique personalities in my kiddos.  I often think to myself  "wonder if they get that from me or their dad?"  Then I think, "my poor mother...my poor mother-in-law!"  It's a beautiful thing!  I caught this picture in the tub the other day and I thought it perfectly fits my view of their personalities right now.  Enjoy!

Little Reminders

Today I was doing a little spring cleaning and ran across a little reminder of God's faithfulness.  I love how He gives these little reminders.  It is my prayer not to miss these, not to be so busy and caught up in the now that I forget the past; or fail to trust him with our future.  As I sat and looked at this tiny little reminder today I actually found myself missing that sweet time.  It was a season when all I could do was sit, look, pray and occasionally hold.  So today I'm doing a little sitting, a little looking back and being very thankful that I can do all the holding I want.  What kind of little reminders did you run across today?

Button Buddies

I recently discovered this little invention through facebook and we are in love.  We've been going through about a box of gauze a week, but these are washable and keep their g-tubes much cleaner.  Not to mention that they are WAY cuter:)  Thank you http://www.mybuttonbuddies.com/!

I also cleaned out our "medical supply" shelves yesterday and thought I would take a picture of our monthly formula delivery.  Yes, I'm so grateful for the man that delivers all this to our house each month!

Valentinies

I'm so very thankful for the sweet ladies who helped Ethan and Addison make their first valentine card for their mom and dad.  What a beautiful gift! 

 

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails!

-I Corinthians 13:4-8

How I need to be reminded of this verse often!  The only way I will ever love like Corinthians talks about is to be filled with love for my Savior.  Praying I will love others well because I'm in love with my Father.

A little Valentine's Day fun...



My little love bandit



This girl loves the camera

Can you tell she just woke up

Very sleepy eyes, but a sweet smile

No pictures...just climbing

Smiling because he fell down, not because there's a camera

  

Almost a picture together

Sleep in Peace

I had just taken this picture the other morning and when I read this verse today I couldn't help but think of it.  Praising the Lord for his protection and promises.

Come Back Spring

We are already missing those two days of Spring we had last week! We took advantage of it though and let the babies try out the wagon they got for their birthday.  They LOVED it:)
