Thinking back, one of the most exciting things for me was meditating on this scripture I memorized a couple years ago:
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness Lamentations 3:22,23
Another translation:
God's loyal love couldn't have run out, his merciful love couldn't have dried up. They're created new every morning. How great your faithfulness!
Now, think on that a while and tell me you don't get excited, too!

Aiden and I went to watch two of my nieces dance in their recital. Allison (5) is third from the right, Juliet (9) is the first girl after that clump of girls from the left. Both pictures taken while nursing in the very back row. :)

Daddy and Amanda hanging out while Avery and I went to her dance class which was cancelled.

One of our favorites at the nursing home....her room is loaded with lollipops, cheese balls, crackers, etc. Plus she has all manner of stuffed animals who sing and dance. What more could you ask for?? Amanda always asks if she can take an extra candy for Daddy...so thoughtful.

We bought some new hair accessories, so the girls had to try them...ALL!
May 20
These two were up kind of early, so we all took Riley for a walk. A perfect morning!

Back in April when it was determined that Shaun would not be playing softball, I was a little worried that he would miss it. Well, this week he got his complimentary-custom-fitted golf clubs back...he and our brother-in-law went out and he shot his best game ever. He proudly displayed the scorecard on the frig. Softball, schmoffball. :)

Amanda emerged from her room like this, ready for bed. Everything she does is with just a little bit of flair. (BK crown from her date with Daddy on Monday).
Last week several of you asked about the songs we are recording, so I thought I'd give you a sample, MTV (does that still exist??)style...you know, music AND video. All songs were written by my dad over the last 35 or so years. This song is the girls' favorite...they call it the Crazy Song.
Thanks for hosting, Sara. Have a great week everyone!
I used to work at a nursing home back when I was in high school, there was a lady there that reminds me of the lady you mention. You couldn't help but feel good after being in her room.
ReplyDeleteI live with 2 "golfaholics", and if they could play all year long they'd be so happy. ha
LOVE the crown! So cute!
oh.my.word....that video was just hilarious!!!
ReplyDeleteAvery, that girl can sing!!!
And I love how Amanda made it in in the last second to put her hands up for Jesus!!
I know I say this often, but this brings back so many memories of my house! I am still laughing and may have to go back and watch it again!
What a fun video. Love the May 20 and 22 shots.

My Nannie was one of those in the nursing home that always had treats for the kids when they came to visit! And great job on the golf game! That is awesome...I am not into golf but my hubby and parents are! And love the pic of the princesses with all of their new hair goodies on!
