New Look. Same Me.

I decided it was time for an update. A chance to show off all four of my beautiful children. So, I am cleaning house and redoing my blog...which, by the way, has slowed down my house cleaning...so here it is, a new look. Don't worry it's still me.
Love,
Jenn

These are a few of my favorite things!

Raindrops on roses and potty chair sittin’

Bright cloth diapers and warm matching mittens

Brown paper packages holding some bling,

These are a few of my favorite things!

Chocolate colored moby wraps and Sonic Diet Cokes

lipgloss and lip balm and Mexican from Stokes

Lilypads that stick to my boob and don’t leak,

These are a few of my favorite things!

Girls in babylegs with pink satin sashes

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eye lashes

Silver white winters that melt into spring

These are a few of my favorite things!

When the dog barks, when the milks out,

When I'm feeling overwhelmed,

I simply remember

my favorite things

and then I don't feeel so bad!

Raindrops on roses and potty chair sittin’

Bright cloth diapers and warm matching mittens

Brown paper packages holding some bling,

These are a few of my favorite things!

I rest in you...

I have been angry most of the day today. Angry that my Dad has been in pain, angry that Brian has been sent out of town, angry that I have parent teacher conferences, a deacons meeting, a Valentines party and angry that I have a house to clean before Charlotte's baptism. A lot of anger. But at the heart of it, I just look at my family and I am angry that I have to be Harrison's voice. I keep seeing him here with us and I miss him, miss knowing that the 16 month old I keep picturing will only be here in my mind, never in my physical presence. Then tonight I watched Angie and Todd Smith on youtube and that anger is gone. It changed into gratitude. I am blessed to have a dad that will recover from his pain, I am grateful that I have a husband and family, I love that I have a church to call home, I will keep saying Harrison's name and being his voice is a privilege and boy, am I excited to dedicate Charlotte to the Lord!!!

Because I rest in Him.

I know that the Lord has a plan. I don't always get it, nor do I sometimes want to. But I rest in His outstretched arms and there I will remain. So if you need a cry and then a moment of trust, watch these videos.




I love you!
