Summer days...

Our favorite summer activity when the heat and humidity are out of control...

New Eyes!

So here is my little sweetie - all bright-eyed! We have been praying for months that God would open her tear duct (dacrostenosis anyone??) and our sweet Jesus had mercy and her eyes are clear! We are so thankful!

I'm slowly but surely figuring out that the only lasting motivator for a wild but sweet little 2 year-old is love! My little man is teaching me patience and humility - as daily I am reminded that this whole 'training him up' is only possible through God's grace!

We are officially blogging! It's about time we start the online journaling! So, we'll see how well mommy keeps this up...and maybe, just maybe, this will not be the one and only post! The kids are sleeping for about 20 more minutes (it is SO hard to wake Kai up from his nap, but if I don't, he will be awake till 11pm, and that isn't working out so good for mommy and daddy who run out of steam (patience!) hours before that!) Piper is *ALMOST* crawling now, though I'm loving her determined spirit to get from one side of the room to the other. She has perfected the plank position and if she could just figure out how to get those chubby knees under her, she wouldn't have to lunge and pull. In the process, that little sweetie is getting to be one strong little girl!
