fuzzy heads and such

i'm not sure why it's happening, but it is. and quick!
i mean, it's happened 3 other times, but this time, well, it seems more disturbing!

my baby girl is growing very quickly into a toddler...that talks and has strong opinions...she's an ornery little cuss {takes after daddy on that one}!

she projects her own needs and wants...
sometimes just in sign language, sometimes with words, and sometimes still with whines.

...she's still preciousness in a little bitty package. a beautiful reminder of the grace of god each and every day. those cheeks could stop wars, i'm telling you!

she's my very last baby...and i'm getting kinda sad. because i know the days of snuggles and cuddles and soft fuzzy heads are almost done for me as a momma. and lots more things are coming, but those are leaving...
...she's uber preciousness wrapped up in a little 17 pound body.
she's my most favorite sofia in the whole wide world!!
{and is that outfit not to die for??? found it in colorado...naajarte kids}

november is national adoption awareness month

according to UNICEF, there are well over 100 million orphans.
{UNICEF Press Release Document Children on the Brink, 2004}
interested in how you can help or how you can adopt one of these orphans??? go HERE.

if you can't place an orphan in your home, these little kids have names...each and every one of them. so would you maybe take time to pray for them by name?? steven curtis chapman and his wife started shaohannah's hope, which is now show hope...and they have spear-headed the "pray for us" campaign...the site says, "from prayer springs action", so let's take some action and sign up to pray for these kiddos. go HERE to do just that!

She is preciousness at it's greatest. 17 pounds of pure cuteness.

Love that outfit, especially the skirt! And the hair, that's a no-brainer, too cute!
Your baby girl is beautiful! Such a cutie.

It's amazing and sad how many kids are out there in the world that don't have families. I just know at some point in the future I'll be able to open my home to a couple of kids that don't have one. It'll be awhile, but that's the plan.

It breaks my heart to think of Summer as my last baby:(

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.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
