Happy Mother's Day!

"A Christian Wife and Mother"

A Christian wife and mother, God'd gift from heaven above
To members of her family a source of constant love,
A help-mate to her husband in good and evil days,
A blessing to her children in e'er so many ways.

She looks with love and favor upon her children fair,
As precious gifts from heaven God gave into her care.
With Christian admonition and nurture in the Lord
She train them well and wisely with Scriptures full accord.

Thank God for Christian mothers, remember them today,
And call upon your Savior to bless their earthly stay.
They are a nation's fortress, a strong-hold in the home,
We honor and salute them now and in the life to come.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mommies, Grandmas, God Mothers, and Mommies at heart out there!

An Afternoon Stroll

We like to go for wagon rides when it's not raining outside (which isn't very often these days!). Won't you come along?
Here we go!
Our first stop is to check the ca-ca-ca-cows!
Time to move on...
Now we go up the tiny hill to check out the BIG tree...
Sometimes it gets windy.
Checking out the big pecan tree...
Now we have to check on the rose bush Aunt B and Uncle C gave us when Austin was born.
Yep, looks good!
Then it's time to visit the tree where my new swing will soon hang...
It's going to go way up high...
Thanks for coming along! See ya next time!

Wordless Wednesday - Blocks

!Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

Happy Cinco de Mayo! We had Oprah over to help us celebrate.
She was so excited she brought TWO outfits!
What did you do to celebrate?

Chow Time

We've slowly started to introduce Austin to "real people" food. In the spirit of Easter, he had eggs for the first time a few weeks ago.

Are you sure I'm ready for this?
I guess I'll give it a shot!
Are you sure this is food?
Not too bad!
Maybe I'm getting a little full.
No more eggs please!
Maybe I could just hide them down here...
Busted!We think a small amount of eggs actually did make it into his mouth that morning!

Other table foods he's tried: toast, cheese, green beans, noodles, mac & cheese, cantaloupe, pudding, spaghetti, potatoes, corn, yogurt and a few other things that we won't mention because they are on the "no no" list!
