Short and Sweet

You know all is right in some one's world when they stop blogging. 

Ehhhhink!  Not true.  It's just been busy around here and I am searching for my "voice".  Everything in my head just doesn't seem fit to blog about, I guess.  So for a few short moments, I wanted to force a little something out, therefore, I shall keep it simple.

To sum it up, short and sweet, parenting these days has been exasperating (just to be honest).  By the time quiet time and nap time come along, everyone benefits if mommy gets some QT, too.  But on a positive note: Fish Fry has slept two nights without a passy!  Way to go, Fishy!  We are so proud.  A new era, indeed!

So far, we have already had a full and fun summer!  From our trip to Alabama to our adventures in Holiday World, we have hardly had down time (my excuse for growing lax in my picture posting and daily blogging); my apologies!

Sidekick and I are reading together for fun this summer.  A definite time sucker, but certainly time worth spending in more ways than one! 

Rock Steady starts half-day Kindergarten this Fall.  A very forefront subject matter on this mamma's mind.  Altogether, a new chapter--an exciting change to anticipate!

No promises, but I hope I can post more often.  Let us know how you're doing!  We love feedback!

Fondly,

P.S.  A Great Question by Rock Steady:

"Can God make Himself small?"

In reply, "Yes, He already did; he became a baby--baby Jesus!"

Rock Steady asked me a food for thought kinda question last night: 

Will God ever stop making people?

Great question, buddy!  He keeps my wheels turning.

What immediately came to my mind after his question was how incredibly thankful I am that God did create my three little figlets!  In fact, here's an example of the joy they bring to my life: Princess has become quite keen on dressing up Fish Fry.  Not to mention, Fish Fry is more than alright with his big sissy doting on him!

Check out the chic wardrobes those two are sporting!

Rock Steady

Our five year old son is an all-around rock steady fella!  He is an amazing builder with any block he can get his hands on!  No matter what toys he has available he always ends up building something.  In fact,even his questions are well designed construction.  Just today he asked a series of questions that were in a logical sequence of order (he would ask a question and before I could hardly finish answering his question, he would ask the next question):

How do you make wood?

We get wood from trees and God made the trees

How does God make trees?

He made the seed that is nourished by the soil, water, and sun that grow helps grow the seed into a tree.

How did God make the sun?

Well, I was not there when He made the sun, but I am sure it was easy for Him because He is so big.

How do we know God made the sun if God made it before people were on earth?

Um, well, He probably told Adam and Moses and other people who wrote the Bible and He probably told them what happened before He created Man.

How did God make Himself?

Uhhh, umm, well, ummm, ya see, God is the Beginning, the Middle, and the End.  He is forever.  He didn't have to make Himself because He has always been, always is, and always will be.  If He wasn't like that, then He wouldn't be God.

You think maybe I should have to just stopped while I was a head and said "I don't know" on a few of those questions?  Ha!

Well, there you have it!  Rock Steady!  I love him like crazy!
