One of the funnest parts of our trip was hiking up into the mountains a bit and meeting a Mong village leader. He showed us some traditional dances with instruments and welcomed us into his home! We were very thankful for the once in a lifetime experience.

I am exhausted. A good exhausted you know. The girls retreat from my point of view went really well. The schedule felt packed and good, yet lots of time for hanging out and getting to know each other. The speaker had a great report with the girls, they all like her and she taught scripturally walking them thru some great passages. I was very thankful for Cammi's talent and heart. She was great to have around to teach the girls! My friends who did the break out sessions ROCKED!! The girls thought they were all practical and helpful. So i am praying that those hands on activities will mark their brains and keep them focused on Jesus! They worked really hard at the Fall Festival our church throws for our 'Judea'. Doing all sorts of carnival games and maning the inflatables. We pray that the community was blessed and excited about that. Friday night we did something really fun! Cammi had recipes for face scrub, hand scrub and toner. We asked the girls upon arriving to wash off ...

What's in a name

Its funny how as a girl you talk about names for babies, you name your dolls when your little, and you think that when you will be pregnant you KNOW what you are naming the baby. The problem now is you know someone named Clarice and she wasn't very nice to you, there are 100 Sara's now and don't want to be part of the masses. There are alot of factors that go into choosing names. In one circle of friends i am the last to be having kids. So i know how they have handled the name game. Some couples with held their name not wanting criticism, while others boldly pronounced the name and didn't care what people thought. I have heard people respond interestingly to a name and heard of families offering other suggestions passively saying "that is not a good name".  We are all people of opinions but this is one of those things that you keep to yourself! :) Now that i am older the naming process is different in my mind. I really like to try and use family names. Peo...

Eight things you should know about Shepherd 1. His smile lights up the room and mom and dad's heart. We can't not smile when he is smiling!  2. He cruises around all the tables and chairs to just get into all sorts of things.  3. Now the tummy is off the floor for crawling and he maneuver around quite nice.  4. When i say 'no touch' his head slowly turns around with a grin like 'oh mom you know i can' 5. Bath time is fun! Splashing in the water and sucking on the toys drinking the water, now even lays on his belly too...feeling the water all around!    6. His squeals of delight are fun to hear and make us laugh.  7. Schedule change is what its all about...not sure when he will wake in the morning :)  8. He is a people person, has to take in everything where ever we go...smiling and laughing at people who say hello... also loves watching and laughing at cousin eleanor.  Its been 8 months and so much fun! A f...
