Look At What Mimi Made...

A couple weekends ago Mimi suddenly became inspired and made this...

This adorable bib features fun frogs jumping around and is detailed with a green ribbon accented with a swirly yellow ribbon. It is too cute!

Maggie was thrilled to model the bib and hopefully Mimi will make one for Maggie for the Fourth of July! (hint, hint :-)

Happy Birthday Aunt Amy!!

Happy Memorial Day!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mommie's out there! I hope everyone had just as much fun as we did. We first headed to the early service, then to McDonald's for a quick breakfast, home to change, then finally headed downtown to Artisphere. It was the perfect day to go downtown, it was warm but not too hot. We walked through the artists' tents and enjoyed some delicious food at Smoke on the Water. Maggie's pretty dress was a gift from some of the ladies at Miracle Hill...
For an extra little treat in the evening we headed to Bruster's for an ice cream. Even Maggie got a free mango sorbet which she thoroughly enjoyed!

The View From Here...

This has been the view of our front yard this past week. GrandPop decided to put in a tankless water heater and replace the water and sewer lines. While it was something that needed to be done, we are on day 8 and are ready to have a green yard back....

Submission...Yea Right!

This post has a round-about thing to do with Maggie. I am notorious for constantly changing the radio station in the car and it's quite annoying for some folks. So, as usual I was skimming through the radio stations and heard Beth Moore speaking on one of the local Christian radio stations here. I've heard her speak before and she's always interesting and pretty funny. She just happened to be talking about marriage, a subject I know very little about. She started commenting on submission...well, if you know me then you know this probably isn't my strong suit. Submission used to be a four letter word to me; you don't say it and don't expect me to do it. Then Beth Moore quoted another man's view of submission: "Submission is learning to duck so that God can hit your husband." I thought that was too hysterical and so true! Hearing that quote was like having a paradigm shift for me, my views of submission have almost completely changed. While I don't know if I'll ever get married, I don't feel that Maggie is lacking in wonderful male Christian role-models; men who love their wives and families and Christ loved the church. I don't pray for a husband because I feel selfish as I've been given so much, I simply pray that God's Will, will be done and that I'll recognize it when I see it.
