A MOTHER'S PRAYER

Dear Lord, it's such a hectic day,
With little time to stop and pray,
For life's been anything but calm
Since You called me to be a mom--
Running errands, matching socks,
Building dreams with wooden blocks,
Cooking, cleaning, finding shoes
And other stuff that children lose,
Fitting lids on bottled bugs,
Wiping tears and giving hugs,
A stack of last week's mail to read--
So where's the quiet time I need?
Yet, when I steal a moment, Lord,
Just at the sink or ironing board,
To ask the blessings of Your grace,
I see then, in my small one's face,
That you have blessed me all the while --
And I stoop to kiss thatprecious smile.

Addy's Vday bow. If you know anyone who loves bows I will be doing lots more of them in about 2 weeks. I am very excited. I will probably start another blog just for bows and stuff. Give me your honest opinions.

Update

Well, I am working really hard at my last semester of school. I finish in 16 days. I am so excited, but I know you can't tell. LOL!!! Yesterday I received a special present in Addison's bag from her. See the pictures below. Not much else is going on just trying to keep up with everything. Beth and Brandan brought Kaylee over the other night and we had a lot of fun with her. She is so cute. Seth's 2nd birthday party was last Saturday and we had a GREAT time. Afterwards we all went over to Amanda and Dre's to hang out. All and all it was a good weekend.
