Happy Birthday!

Our trip to Kentucky Lake was a really good one.  The boat ride was Mark's favorite part.  The kids kept saying "Faster, faster" so they went faster :)

From Joe

 

A few weeks ago, Rachel and I went into a junk store and I found this adorable little picture.  I told the owner of the shop that I wanted buy it for my mama.  He wouldn't let me pay for it.   "Tell her it's from Joe."

So mama, when we go visit Rachel and Judson and the kids, we'll have to go downtown and say hello to Joe :) 

Tuesday Prayers

I just found Anne Lamott on facebook.  It feels like I just found out she's living next door!   I believe I've mentioned--oh, about a hundred times--that her Bird by Bird is one of my favorite books ever.   Lately, I've been reading her latest:  Help, Thanks, Wow:  The Three Essential Prayers.

As it turns out, if one person is praying for you, buckle up.  Things can happen.  

Happy Mother's Day

Here's my cute mama.  How did she get such perfect curls?!? 

And here's my mama's mama.  She's a cutie too.  Love her hat!

Kyle Story from Rachel

 Such a sweet Kyle story for Mother's Day, posted by Rachel on her facebook page:

While playing in the backyard this afternoon Kyle picked a dandelion and brought it to me.

Rachel: Thank you, that's a nice gesture to give a girl a flower.

Kyle: Just doing my job.

  

  Later, after I made his favorite dinner, he gave me a big hug and thanked me.  

I thought it would be funny so I replied "just doing my job" and he had a giggle fit. 

 Who knows where he picked that line up. My sweet silly boy.
