Jesus and Lily

Lily,

I hope that you remember this past Monday for the rest of your life. I must be honest that I have put you off on this topic for awhile. I was (and still am to some degree) afraid that you would be plagued with doubts about whether you really had meant what you prayed (like me).

You have been talking about Jesus being your best friend for quite some time. Over the last couple weeks you have only wanted to read about Jesus when you pulled your Bible out. You have known for a long time that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, so that we could go to heaven.

On Monday, July 21, 2010, you very simply and sweetly asked Jesus to come live in your heart at breakfast. You point blank told me that you wanted to ask Jesus to live in your heart. I couldn't put it off any longer.

May you grow in your relationship with Him always. I know that we often don't see eye-to-eye and "lock horns" at times. Know that I love you more than I can say. More than anything else I pray that you will trust Him always even when I fail you.

I love you so much it hurts!

"I'll love you forever. I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be." Munch

Love,

Mommy

Lily heard a noise that sounded a little like the front door opening when we were in the kitchen. She called out, "Daddy?" I said no, he'll be home tomorrow. I couldn't decide whether to cry or smile.

I took an ate some of the cookie.

"Save one for Daddy. He likes Snucklebritches too. " Talking about Snickerdoodles. Grandpa Robey called her Snucklebritches.

"That boy has funny hair. It’s kinda like a porcupine." Very fortunate that we were far enough away that he couldn’t hear her as the boy’s mom walked up just then and she had a Mohawk too!

Will you please stop getting in my room? I’m just dressing my hair.

Graceanne

I realized that I have tried to write down and post some of what Lily says and does, but haven't done much of that with Graceanne, so here's a quick update!

She is nearing 13 lbs - maybe over that a little. She can roll over back to front and front to back. She is trying her best to get her bottom two teeth: Drool, gnawing on EVERYTHING, cranky (very unusual for her), not sleeping or eating like she used to. She's getting close to being able to sit unsupported.

We started her on solids about a month ago and it gave her TONS of gas, so we stopped for awhile. We are going about it slower this time. I was giving her too much, too quickly. She ate it like a champ, no coaxing or mess (much like her Daddy!). Hopefully, we will have more success this time!

Her favorite things right now are her floor gym, exersaucer, and Lily. Boy does she LOVE her sister. Not sure that will continue, but it is great for now!

June 2010 Pics

Here you go for more pics on Facebook. I am nearly caught up. Maybe by the end of the month I can post the pics as we take them? I don't know though. Between Lily and I, we have at total of 9 appointments this week. Starting to run ragged!

May 2010

Here is the link to more pictures on Facebook. Wish I could have more directly here. You do not have to be on Facebook to view the pics.

Look Who's Sleeping

Had to post this picture. She is still sleeping. She was playing very nicely and quietly while Graceanne nursed. When we were finished, I hadn't heard anything out of Lily in about 5 minutes and this is what I found.

April 2010 Pics

Trying to play catch up. Hope this works. If not, they will show up on Facebook. Guess what? It took at least 20 min for these three to upload :(
