sunday morning.

i'm guilty of being superficial and finding happiness in things besides my family. and my faith. and my life.

for example. clint got a new ipod for his bday. from me. his birthday isn't until january 4th, but i did it early. as soon as i saw it, i wanted a new one. there is nothing wrong with mine. it's just that it doesn't have a digital camera or a recorder or an fm radio.

i also want adobe photoshop. one hundred bucks. give or take.

and i want a million dollar shopping spree in new york city. and a blackberry and an iphone. so pratt can play duck duck moose games anytime he wants.

etc. etc. etc.

but sunday morning, i was reminded of something that is wayyy more important than anything i could buy. anything that could be given to me. and it's this.



i got this picture while snapping some of clint and pratt eating popcorn and watching cartoons. pratt's favorite thing to do. rarely will he sit on our lap for any amount of time these days. this picture was in no way staged. i didn't have to tell him to look at his dad. it just happened. both of them looking at each other...smiling.

sometimes i have to pinch myself and remember...i have a family...i am part of a family.

that's something i have always wanted. and so when i close my eyes, and find my happiness...this is what i see.

first of all, that baby is once again too cute!

secondly, i love reading your blogs! you are so witty ;)

and last, if you aren't ready to drop the money on photoshop, check out www.picnik.com.... some of the features are free and then you can upgrade for $25 a year. and there is an option to make yourself look skinnier- my personal fave!

About Me

My photo
i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
