the boys were back in town...

jack and finn came in town for an overnight...and wooo hooo, did we get some good playing time in!
my boys are the best...i love them soooo much!
and i'm pretty sure that my nephews are def the cutest boys on the stinking planet.

jack jack is mr. intelligent...loves to play and be his perfect little man self. he's independent and funny, loves to laugh and is spirited...and is driven.
fin {my finny} is suave and sweet and always has this little smile going on. he's very happy and loves to kiss his fam...he and sofie were kissing cousins! it was soooo cute!

so we only got less than 24 hours with the jmjf clan, but we made the most out of it. starbucks and late night chats and plans, plans, plans...

would you please pray for jon and meg as they move into their next phase of ministry in athletes in action? they are moving to colorado state university and will be ministering to the atheletes there on campus. they are finishing up with the last 10% or so of their fundraising...praise god for all who are choosing to support them in spite of the economy. also, please pray they have peace and wisdom and guidance in all the big "move and stay" decisions that are forthcoming.

head over to their AIA blog to read about what they are doing and where their passions lie...

I am so happy that you got some time with your fab family. Your nephews are def the cutest! I love Jack's glasses.

I didn't know they were moving to Colorado. We miss it a lot - we moved from there to here. I will keep them in my prayers.

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.
So, it's been a while since i posted...years, in fact.  I stumbled upon to an old post and thought, I need to write more.  So here we are now... My family looks completely different and times are different, but we are still just the same people.  We've added one...P got married 2 years ago and now we have A.  I will talk more about that later.  But isn't our pic soooo cute?   For now, life is crazy and wild and sometimes completely unpredictable, but we are still praying and playing together.  Ryan and I are on our 21st year of marriage (woot woot), and the kids are well, old!  P is 25 and happily married to A, and they are celebrating 2 years next month.   B is a junior,  has a job and is blowing our minds with all she is achieving in this world, and she's one of the funniest kids on the planet.  She's grown an amazing amount in all her therapies and in life in general...she's an advocate for all who struggle, and autism does not define her...she defines hersel
