And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. ~Ephesians 3:17b-19

Thank Heaven For Little Girls

Growing up I always dreamed of having boys. Maybe because it was just my sister and I, no brothers. Whatever the reason, when I became pregnant with Rosen I was TERRIFIED of having a girl. One morning in my eighth month of pregnancy while I was lazily daydreaming about the son I was hoping desperately was in my belly I heard God tell me very gently that it would be a daughter. I tried to ignore it at first, denying that I had heard it, but it was no use. He was very clear. He must of known that I would need some time to adjust to this news. I remember my first response was that of disappointment and then resentment. (Basically acted like a spoiled brat when things don't go her way) But then I started to gradually get used to the idea - even excited about it. By the time she was born I was SO PROUD to have such a wonderful creature for my daughter. When I look back on those days I have to laugh at myself. How foolish I had been. My girls are the joy of my days and keep our home filled with squeals of delight. :) They are so precious and sweet, and amaze me daily with the tenderness of their hearts. Thank heaven for little girls.

My funny bunnies

At my mom's group at St. Mary's we made washcloth bunnies and I brought them back for the girls to decorate and give to Nana & Grandma for Easter. They had a blast painting them with water colors and then covering them in multiple colors of glitter. They even glued on bubbly eyes. :P 

Smiley Boy :D
