An Invitation…

… to guest post at Nicole’s place.

My sweet friend, Nicole has an amazing story. One of adoption, grace, love, brokenness, forgiveness and redemption. I have no idea how she has survived what she has and come as whole as she has. Her existence proves God’s refinement through the fire… however, it also proves her willingness to reflect who God is in ALL circumstances.

She remembered my post about the joys of an invitation from back in January and asked if she could re-post it for Mother’s Day week:

I’m sitting here watching my 4-year-old.

He grabs a little cup from one of the bottom cabinets (we put all the kids dishes where they can reach them so they can help themselves), scurries over to the fridge, fills his cup with water and drinks from it. Then he grabs a couple apple slices I’ve cut for them and runs over to his 1-year-old little brother.

“Here Paxton… want an apple?”

As they both snack, they sit side-by-side and Chance “reads” to Paxton. Then… out of nowhere… Chance says:

“Hey Mom… you wanna come and read with us?”

Music is in the Blood

Sorry I haven’t posted since Exponential. Once I came home, I just wanted to breathe in being home with my family.

I’ll be back soon… especially since God’s been stirring up quite a bit in my heart as of late… but for now, I’ll just leave you with a cute video of my boys.

This video is a few weeks old. I FINALLY got around to loading it onto YouTube. Better late than never, right?

What is YOUR family “thing”?

The Chance & Mommy Band

Chance and I did some jammin’ today… while he was SUPPOSED to be napping.

Yeah. He didn’t want to nap… so this happened instead:

How do you help release creativity in your kids?

Please share!!!

Bowling: Chance’s FIRST Time

Last week, Brian and I wanted to take Chance ice skating… but when we got there, they said it was “hockey” time.

Chance was disappointed, but cheered up quickly when we took him across the parking lot to the Bowling Alley.

Chance played with an 8 pound ball (SUPER heavy for him… but the lightest they had there). I miraculously got his first strike ever on video.

Brian bowled an upper 100-something that night.
Chance bowled a 49.
Me: 52.

I am SO not good at bowling.

What’s your best/worst bowling score?

30 Seconds…

… of my life.

Yes. Welcome…

Don’t call the authorities on me. Really… my kids like this.

What weird things do your kids like?

Random Chance Video

I left the camera running for Chance… while Brent was talking to me…

… and talking
… and talking
… and talking.

Oh, Brent.

Anyway… tonight, Tam, Kota, Brian and I were looking through my videos and found this. We were laughing so hard we thought we’d share it with you.

Enjoy!

Oh yes… and in the duration of this video… Brent DID fart.

TWICE.

And that  was just in the video. I can NOT count how many times that man has let loose this weekend.

Help us, Lord.
