3 generation pics

We had these pictures taken at JC Penney's when my mom was visiting. I really like this first one. Alyssa had just poked me right in the eye, so it sort of looks like I've been crying...
# 2 this is a cute one too, but probably not one you'd put on your wall...
#3 this is the one we picked. Alyssa looks awfully cute, I think. :)

I wish...

"Mom, I wish I was a Daddy, so I could be in charge." This, after I reminded Caden, as I do frequently, that he is not in charge.
I told him that he should enjoy being a kid, that being a Daddy isn't always fun. Why do we always want what we don't have? I'm in a Beth Moore Bible Study right now, and I could go on and on about many wise things she says. One thing she said that struck me this morning, is that we often miss the blessing that the Lord gives us because many times we're wishing for the blessing that someone else has. What blessing in your life do you overlook?

Dream

I was awakened early this morning to a desperate, "MOM!". I ran over to Caden's room.

He whimpered, "Mom, I wish I was a mermaid." (I'd like to make a note here, that Caden doesn't realize this is a gender specific term.)

When he got out of bed later, he was full of tales of Grandma and Alyssa being dolphins, and some other nonsensical ideas that I can't even articulate. Aren't dreams fun?

Caden-the tool man-Davis

While, she was here, Grandma also gave Caden his birthday present! A tool belt! He immediately started fixing things throughout the house! Caden told Shann that when he got home from work, everything would be fixed. Wouldn't this be nice?

Mr Freezy


Grandma and Caden and Alyssa were able to get a little snowman out of the melting snow that was left! Here he is, peaking in our kitchen window!

My first dollhouse!


I wish I had a video of all the giggling and dancing that occured while I was trying to find my camera. She was so excited!
My parents visited last weekend, and this was their gift to her. It was a hit!
Setting it up....


time for lunch...
