Photo Friday

The last week of March 2012! Wow, time is flying! This week...

Last Friday Jathan's buddy, Jacque, joined us for supper. These silly boys were happy to get to utilize the tv trays.


Saturday after I realized at 5 p.m. that I hadn't defrosted the chicken, I texted Jackie and said, "Why don't we just eat out tonight?" = ) We went to Carretta's, home of our favorite tacos.


Also on Saturday, I continued my new ritual of taking the time to paint my nails. This week I went for high shine sparkle!


Piper looked adorable in her Sunday best. Here she is posing a little for me before church. Would you believe she didn't so much as touch her hat?


Monday must have been a hard day for Ryland because he was so tuckered out that he couldn't even eat his supper. He took a little siesta on the couch. Doesn't he look so cute all kicked back and relaxed?


On Tuesday I got to watch LeeAnna while her big sister went to the dentist. We played out on the breezeway and Eden Mae joined us. At one point a (Korean) lady came up the stairs to visit my neighbor. Upon seeing all of the children playing she said, "Oh my!" I wonder if she thought they were all mine? Ha ha.


Wednesday, I let Piper have free reign of the house while we tried to do our school work. She went exploring and found the book shelf in the hall. When Jathan saw the mess that she'd made, he exclaimed, "PIPER JAMES!" See, James is Ryland's middle name and he gets called by it quite often. I had to teach Jathan Piper's middle name to use when she needs scolding.

 

Later Wednesday Keeleigh and I helped Fuel the Future. This is a ministry at our church which distributes food to children who don't have adequate food in their homes over their weekend away from school (and school lunches). Each week over 100 bags go out to children at risk for hunger. I love, love, love our church's heart for missions!


The boys made king's crowns (it's "k" week at Combs Christian Academy) with the shape of the week, diamonds. When we paused for a quick pic, Keeleigh grabbed her tiara and hopped in the shot.


On Thursday I managed to get a shot of Piper flashing her new pearly whites. She has begun to get four teeth all at once this month!

This morning Jathan was supposed to be using his alphabet builders (download a free copy for yourself by clicking here) to build a letter "K" but he said, "Can I show you something first?" He'd made a happy person. Love 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...

Combs Christmas Tour

Ryland says, "Welcome to our home!" Would you like to see all of our Christmas decorations? Check out our door decoration. We saw something like it at Trees and Trends and upon checking the price tag thought, "I could totally do that." = ) We think it looks great beside our sled, you know, just in case of snow! C'mon inside. Next to our door we plugged in a cute little tree that we got on our Thanksgiving trip to Alabama. It used to sit on our porch when we lived there. Now it hangs out next to our baker's rack where we have our one and only Nativity (I laughed to myself when Dr. Jackson said at church this Sunday that everyone has them all over the house.) We have more of a snowman collection around here. If you look in our kitchen you might notice our snowman rug. After you catch a load of our new Frosty fridge, that is! (Thank goodness for Pinterest!) There are reindeer prancing on our coffee table. Just past the co...
