Visit your kids...

Did you know that yesterday was "National Visit Your Kid at Work Day?" Well, not really, but I made it that day and most of us (biggest 3 at work) visited my oldest daughter at work. (She is the cute one on the far left) She got married in Aug 2011 and it was the first time that she got to "show us off" to her co-workers. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much everyone greeted and loved on us! The kids were great and we had a wonderful lunch at chick fil a!

Thank you God for my kids...the big, medium, and small...thank you for them all loving each other and being proud to be from a big family! Continue to bless us and keep us safe!

THY WILL BE DONE!!! +JMJ+

LOVE THOSE KIDS!!!

Some times I look at my kids and just want to squeeze them to pieces cuz they are so stinkin' cute...other times...well, never mind!

During meditation today I came across this great reminder from our Lord:

"Pamper your child and he will be a terror for you, indulge him and he will bring you grief.'' Sirach 30:9

Wow, what a reminder...I truly believe one of the worst things you can do to your kids is to spoil them.

THY WILL BE DONE!!! +JMJ+

BLOGGING VS LIFE:

I can tell by my site meter that I am losing the interest of the 10 crazy people who actually read my blog...well, at the end of Lent...LIFE HAPPENED!

I redecorated our bedroom and some other areas and surprised my hubby while he was away with our son in Florida...(PICTURES SOON)

Then Holy Week we got a call on Spy Wed that their was an urgent care need for a 2 month old...we said yes, met with social worker, got home study, finger prints all within about 30 hours. Then waited...many of you know that game...come to find out on Easter Morning that it wasn't gonna work out. Well, Easter Thursday I got a call around 3pm (HOUR OF MERCY) saying that things had changed and the baby was on his way!

So, I have been cuddling and loving this baby for a month! That is why I missed out on posting! Boy, has it been worth it! WE all love him and are enjoying his stay here.

THANK YOU GOD for trusting us with this little one. We love him and YOU!

THY WILL BE DONE!!! +JMJ+
