Love, love, love....

Our love bugs!

TAKE THE TIME

It's nine-fifteen, and bedtime took too long, once again -
Another drink, another glass of water, and then...
The questions come, the hands hold tight, and the eyes are openend wide,
And something in me wispers, "Now's the time."

"Mommy, why did Muffy die? where's the sun?
Are there cats in heaven? And why did Jesus come?"
And though a whole day's dishes wait, and bills are pilled up high,
Something in me wispers, "Take the time."

Take the time, while they're right here by your side,
Take the time, while their arms are opened wide.
Teach them how to love the Lord with all their heart and mind,
Oh, they're only home a season, take the time.

Riding off to Narnia upon a lion's back,
Chubby fingers close the book and add it to the stack.
"Aslan didn't kill the witch -- oh Dad, why did he die?"
And something in me whispers: "Now's the time."

For one day they'll want to spend time alone.
One day they'll need to be on their own.
Next week their hugs may not seem quite the same -
Oh Lord, may they honor Your name.

It's nine-fifteen and bedtime took too long, once again -
Another drink, another glass of water, and then
The questions come, the hands hold tight, and the eyes are opened wide...
And something in me wispers, "Now's the time."

Take the time, while they're right here by your side,
Take the time, while their arms are opened wide,
Teach them how to love the Lord with all their heart and mind,
Oh, they're only home a season, take the time.

(- 1985 Paul and Teri Reisser)

I read this poem and it brought tears to my eyes. It was a good reminder for me to - take the time....

Sweet little ones!

Circus acts - funny clowns and brave acrobats

Playdough time -- butterfly and octopus
Clown face

If I ever should have a heart attack you now know why....

Kylie quotes

One of the most amazing things about being a mom is to see your child develop a sense of humor. And if one thing is for sure is that Kylie keeps us laughing. Sometimes she says silly things just to get a reaction or a laugh, and other times she just says things that are just FUNNY! at least they are to us. So, with no further due, here are some of Kylie's quotes

One evening at the dinner table:

"Daddy is a pilot, mommy is a teacher, I am an artist, Brayden is a basketball player and Colton...is such a cutie little man!!!"

I told Kylie the other day she is cute and she responded: "Mommy, I am not cute....i am beautiful."

And we close with a prayer:

" Dear God, thank you for Kylie, thank you for mommy, thank you for daddy, thank you for Brayden and Colton... and everyone who lives on this planet. AMEN!"
