I know I shouldn't brag (especially about myself) but I just can't help it. Today, with a lot of guidance from Grammie, I finished the outfit that I started for Pook earlier this week. To say I am pleased with it would be an understatement and as you can tell by the photos, she likes it, too! My mom will tell you that my sister and I were some serious hams for the camera when we were kids, so I wonder who my kiddo takes after?

Little Rewards
I quite often get shots that capture our children in the exact way I don't want to, but every once in a while I actually get it right. While taking a little excursion to the local arboretum I, of course, carried my camera and was completely rewarded with this...
Pleased as punch doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about this one!
I'm working on week 2 of being a stay-at-home mom and it's just so weird. Talking to my mom the other day I told her it I felt like I was running a race a full speed and then suddenly came to a complete stop. It is nice to slow down though and I'm thoroughly enjoying my time with the kiddos.
We're still trying to sell this house. We had an open house last Sunday and, according to our realtor, had 2 really interested couples. Unfortunately, she's not been able to reach either one by phone to give them the follow information they requested. Please, please, please continue praying that we will sell the house very soon. I don't think I need to tell you how badly we need to get to where Daddy is in a big way!

Work in progress
You'll have to pardon the state of my blog. I'm currently working on new stuff for it and since it's late, I'm going to bed.

fly-by post for pics
First, a precious pic of my almost 90 year old grandmother and two of her great-grandkids!
A pic of Diesel in the recovery room. Taken by K-man with my cell phone, but it was just too sweet not to post.

"Mommy, I'm following in your path."
Talk about words that will stop you dead in your tracks.
While walking my darling daughter down the hallway to Sunday School this morning, she looks up at me and says, "Mommy, I'm following in your path." She, of course, was talking about our walk down the hall, but it gave me pause. It made me stop and contemplate the bigger implications of those 6 words. Is the path I'm walking, the path she is following, the right one? I pray. I pray earnestly with all my heart that I am. That the example I am setting for her is one that is pleasing to God and one that I would be proud for her to follow. It's no secret to me or to other moms all around the world that our goal in motherhood is to be the best mom we can be. I am so extremely blessed with my beautiful children, with a terrific partner in life, with a wonderful extended family and friends. I pray that I can do my blessings justice...to be the absolute woman God wants me to be...to be the best mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend that I want to be.
Diesel's surgery
Please keep us in your prayers tomorrow. Diesel has his procedure for tubes in his ears tomorrow morning at 8:45 a.m. I'll confess to being a little anxious. I guess that's completely normal, but it still makes me nervous to think about my sweet boy being under anesthesia even if just for 15 minutes.
