Snow Day...in pics
Imagine what I could do with a working camera and powerful lens...until then...I dream and capture best I can.

the name game
The kiddos are into that silly name-rhyme game in which one changes up the first sound of someone's name.
Mom-mom-bo-bom-banana-fana-bo-bom-me-mi-mo-mom-moooom
We cycle through every favorite person and pet imaginable in about a thirty minute time frame. Well, today Mermaid came running into the room breathless from going through her own list of favorite animals and excitedly exclaimed: Mom, Mom...do God!!!!!!
I paused. I was initially stuck in "grown up mind". I was worried that doing "God's name" would somehow be sacrilegious or wrong. I mean...He IS...the I AM. Am I really allowed to do His name to the name game song? Then I un-paused...realizing that my daughter is so in love with Him, that she cannot wait to add Him to her list of favorite people...I mean...He was mixed in there with the dogs...her most holy of holy. When we were finished she left...then she came running back in the room and further announced: Mom, Mom...do you think God is laughing?? Her smile was incredible. I asked her if she was happy thinking about Him and playing her favorite game with Him...she nodded gleefully..."well then, I bet He is!"
We do history starting from Genesis for our home school. Going through history...the Bible...is so profoundly exciting when you do it with your children. I have never experienced God like I am experiencing Him through the fresh unconditional eyes of my precious children. I look forward to reading my Bible in One Year Blog this year...whereas, last year, it was just something to accomplish (I didn't even get through Jan). God is a Hero, a knight in shining armor. His-tory is a beautiful love story...written for us...it's tragic, epic, life changing.

How I love Him so!!

you know you've almost been married 10 years when...
your mom calls and asks if she can watch the kiddos and you scream: YYYEEESSSSSS!!!!! before she can get her words out...AND...have the bags packed before she gets to the door to pick them up!
you opt to finish your next round of knit and purl stitches on the hat you are knitting instead of taking a shower and putting on makeup.
your date consists of subway, a cookie, and a trip to the liquor store for a bottle of wine.
you both goob out over the fact that for the first time in over four years you get to watch HOUSE on your own tv via the newly purchased cable!
after HOUSE you start knitting again while your darling OA finishes up doing the taxes.
he winks, pours you both one more glass of wine, and goes to take a bath...you blog...and smile...knowing most likely that you will both be snoring in about thirty minutes!!
i love this almost-decade. this last year of marriage has by far been my favorite.
deep warm snuggly sigh.
and i cannot lie...he is still very very HOT!

tired ramblings
I am off to bed, as I have a ten mile run ahead of me in the morning.
It has been an exceptionally fast week. I think the part that I want to remember the most about this week was today: OA and the kiddos walking into the school (unexpectedly) where I work part-time and me momentarily losing my breath.
My family literally takes my breath away. I am so unworthy of the blessings that I am given. May I breathe them in...and back out again...sharing as much of His Love with my fellow man as possible.
There is something about opening your heart up...especially when it is a Love of Choice...not a love of necessity or guilt or obligation. I am quite sure that is why He gave us Free Will.
Chosen Love...the kind of Love that stirs within.
