Photo Friday x2

I'm playing catch up this week for not posting any photos last Friday. I have a good excuse, though. I've been busy! Last Friday my friend, Jennifer, came from Alabama to visit with us over Mardi Gras. Unfortunately that day Jathan came down with strep throat so I was at the doctor's office with him Saturday morning. By Saturday afternoon we were off to Mississippi to visit with the Lawrence's and for Jackie to preach at their church Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon we headed back to NOLA. Monday we went to the Sculpture Gardens with Jennifer and later that day my parents arrived along with Keeleigh. Tuesday we got up bright and early to head to the Mardi Gras parades. During the parades Piper and Ryland didn't feel well and ran fevers the rest of the night into Wednesday. I feared they might have caught Jathan's strep so the doctor called them in an antibiotic and we stayed inside the rest of the day and Thursday. Today they seem better and haven't run a fever since Wednesday so we ventured out to PE. Whew! So here's two weeks worth of pictures for your viewing pleasure! = )

I spy...a closet full of toys and one little boy!

Little Miss LeeAnna helping Piper get a drink. If LeeAnna catches sight of Piper she makes sure you know that's a "baby!" I think it's so cute because LeeAnna is barely bigger than the baby herself!

Jathan and Ryland turned this box into a spaceship and were flying to Alabama. Ryland decided to pack light!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I wonder if this huge box of Moon Pie's will help me fit back into those pants I was complaining were too big? Ha ha!

Piper sporting her Christmas present from Uncle Jeremy. It reads, "If you think I'm cute, you should see my Uncle Jeremy!"

We visited the aquarium with Jennifer. All the kids enjoyed the fish but Jathan was mainly ready to get to the gift shop!

After a quick visit to the doctor for Jathan, we headed to Mississippi to visit with our first NOLA neighbors who are now ministering at a church there. It was a tad bit wet out!

Jackie got the opportunity to share a devotional with the Lawrence's church and also show them a slideshow of some pictures from Israel.

We visited the sculpture garden on this day. Jathan thought the sculptures were great to climb on. He even helped this one pick her nose. Somehow I don't think that's what the artist originally envisioned.

Mardi Gras!

One of my favorite breakfasts: a plain blueberry poptart with butter!

Nana and Pappy brought Piper a very cool new rug for her room!

A family toured our apartment this morning so we made sure everything was neat and tidy! I knew it wouldn't last long so I made sure to snap a pic of it.

5 Reasons I Should Stay Off Facebook

1. TMI So, I remember the weirdest things but one brief conversation I had over 10 years ago stands out to me. It was high school and like all high school girls I had friends, enemies, and frienemies. One of my then-frienemies (we've grown up since then!) was friends with one of my enemies. Standing by the lockers one day, frienemy walks up and says in reference to enemy something like, "She shares too much information. Sometimes it's almost like, 'Hey, guys. I just farted.'" Of course, at the time I ate this up and laughed at her expense but over the years it's been a little reminder that more often than not I need to shut up. Just shut up. I've often been tempted (and have too often given in to the temptation) to over share. I think the Internet feels far safer than it really is. I need to remember that. 2. Friends...or Stalkers? Speaking of "friends", I have 321 of them. I know that number is much higher for many of you, but

The Story of Us

Do you like love stories? Who doesn't! Well, as Jackie and I prepare to celebrate our 7th anniversary tomorrow I'm ruminating on ours. It had an unexpected beginning and several surprising twists some of which threw me off so badly that I'm only now beginning to see how beautifully the Master Author has written it. I know it has had to have been in His hands because I seriously couldn't make some of this stuff up. Though Jackie and I didn't meet until 2004, but I will begin our story in 1998. That year I was 15 and pregnant. I suppose everyone thinks a baby will change your life to some degree but few people understand just to what degree that is. Because of Keeleigh a lot of things were different in my life. I traded in some of my freedom as a teenager for bottles and diapers. I remember I used to leave school and tell my friends, "Well, I'm off to play house." "Don't you wish you were just playing?" a friend asked. Really? I didn

Secrets

Can I let you in on a secret? On New Year's Day I bought a little notebook and each day since I've written in it. I'm hoping I have the guts to write unabashedly dear diary style. Then I'm hoping to use this record as notes for a book I've entitled Secrets of a Seminary Wife . I'm not talkin' secrets about how to get grass stains out of your little boys' jeans. I'm talking about a tell-all story about me--warts and all. It'll be like Tammy Faye Baker gets saved on Wisteria Lane. And maybe I will slip in some secrets on how to get grass stains out because, heck, we've gotta deal with that, too. Why? Because I wish the world knew what happens here. Here at seminary. Here in the heart of a believer. That we struggle. That half the people I know are on food stamps and Medicaid working their tails off trying to do what God has called them to do. That we sin, too--we get angry, we are lustful, we lie. That sometimes the only thing that keeps us
