Focusing on vintage kids

Well, here i am focusing on Vintage kids once again. I have not been able to find that magic pill that keeps kids from growing up, do you have any suggestions? Well I guess I am just going to rely on God's hedge of protection, friends, and the vintage kids. Wow that is way out of my comfort zone! I am more comfortable with knowing for sure, with no shadow of doubt, with every assurance possible that my kids will never make a bad choice and will always be safe. Not Happening! All i can say is thank goodness for the covering of prayer, community that is always looking out for each other, and friends that are there to encourage you when you or your kids screw up. Thank you God for these things!

Vintage Kids

So I desided that I do not like the way that kids are growing up so fast, so to deal with this I am going to focus on vintage kids, they just seem so sweet!

Well this is our home away from home, Russes mom and dad are so gracious! So when we are not in town all those weekends, and we say we are going to the cabin(which I know is a lot). This is where we go, we love it here! It is beautiful, peaceful and has been a huge blessing to our family. And also all of the sunset pictures I post on my blogs are taken from the deck at the cabin. Thank you God for mom & dad's cabin!

Life Trek!

I am so excited about this Fall! Russ and I are getting ready to kick off a new ministry at our church, Life Trek, navigating life together. With the help of our pastor, close friends, and church family, we are ready to reach out to our community through relationship. Although this takes time, commitment, training, meetings, and so much more. Through prayer and constantly seeking God's direction, we know it is going to be an exciting year! Thank you God for this opportunity to serve You!

24/7 Prayer

My church has been participating in a 24/7 prayer, and so far i have had the opportunity to pray 9 or 10 hours this last week, at least 7 of those hours with my 11 year old daughter. it has been the most amazing experience! My initial reaction was, o my goodness how am i going to pray for that many hours, well the reality is each time we went to pray, we were not ready to go when our time was up. I have seen such a difference in my family and church since we have taken this time to intentionally seek out God, it has been the most amazing thing. Thank you God for Prayer!

Rub a dub, dub, three kids in a tub!

i bet you have never seen a fort like this

This is B-Rad's new puppy. Actually she is two already. She is cute, but definetly a handful.

I can hardly believe that the kids have started school already, we had such a good summer together! Although the summers are great, it is nice to be working some structure back into our routines. I don't know if I am the only one, but my schedule just goes to mush in the summer.

Wow, could someone please get me the phone number for these two handsome guys!
