It was an Alfred Hitchcock kinda day

I love Sundays! Going to church, worshiping God, and spending time with my baby. Here's just a little preview of what out day was like. 

We had a very fun day today. As you can see Edye was worn out!!

Now to get to the Alfred Hitchcock part, if you have seen the movie birds you will get it. so as I am holding Edye and making us some lunch today I hear a tap tap tap coming from the skylight in our kitchen. At first I thought it was raining but then thought to myself out loud no those would be some pretty big rain drops to make that noise. So, I decided to look........ And what met me there but two VERY big crows! 
They were just pecking at the glass and just looking down at me. Edye and I just stood there and watched them for about a minute before they flew away. Now, I'm not gonna lie, this made me a little nervous if not slightly scared. Then it got me thinking. How many times in life do we hear that tap... Tap... Tap... Coming from God. Whether its because your doing something you know is wrong, he has a task for you to do, or he just wants you to open your heart to him. He is here, he is tapping on our windows, on our doors, on our hearts. He Loves us he wants us to let him into our lives. Let's answer those taps before they become knocks or pounds. Lets let God in our lives (but let's leave the crows outside) and let his plan unfold!  

The steps of a man are established by The Lord, when he delights in his way.   - Psalm 37:23

Lilo and Stitch movie night

Our first disney movie night was a success!!! This was our menu! We had shrimps noodles edamame and pineapple pound cake and cherry skewers! Our movie was Lilo and stitch. 
After dinner we put the movie in at first the kids were excited sitting in the chair watching. 
Then about  5 minutes into the movie they were bored sooooo we did the limbo!!! 
Next it was time to color a picture 
I love spending time with my family. They all bring joy to my life. 

Edye Gizzmo and I ended our crazy fun filled day on a nice stroll.

Beautiful zombifeid barbies!

Kids can play with anything! I mean anything! And usually, the things they want the most are things we do not want them to play with. Like Tv remotes, cell phones, iPad, outlets, and cords. But for Edye and my niece, broken Barbie pieces will do. Now, I'm talkin heads off hair cut off bottoms fall off and legs chewed to pieces from our old dog. But, to Lizzie and Edye these barbies, even though flawed, are beautiful princesses. So today lets take a lesson from our kids as see everyone as the beautiful beings God made.  



Gotta ru, Gizzmo is now chewing the arms off the barbies!

You are altogether beautiful, there is no flaw in you.  - Song of Solomon 4:7

Water table fun

Being a single mom and working full time is very hard. I cherish every moment I get with my baby girl. She brings so much joy into my life, her smiles, her giggles, her kisses, and her cries. Only God could make something so amazing as a child. Watching them evolve and learn is beyond amazing. Sometimes I think she is smarter than me!! 

This is what our night consisted of and also one of her favorite things to do.

..... Play on her water table. 
She could play with this thing for hours. After playing outside she was worn out and napped then helped me do laundry, then took a bath, then played some more and off to bed.  And now it is time for me to go to bed. As you are going to bed tonight remember your children are a gift from God give them and extra hug and kiss and tell them you love them. Cherish every moment no matter how big or how small.  

Behold, children are a heritage of The Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.   - Palsm 127:3

To Blog or not to blog

Welp, after fighting with my self back and forth I have decided to go ahead, bite the bullet, and start a blog.  This will be a great blog, due to the fact that I have horrible spelling, even worse grammer skills, and not much experience in writing (note the sarcasm). I want to share my love of life,  love for my child, and love of God with everyone! So come on! What are you waiting for?! Jump on the band wagon and travel this journey with Edye and me!

Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.    -Isiah 43:19
