Thirsty for Him: pictures

Some Friday Fun

I have been wanting to post these pictures since mid-December, but just didn't get to it... This fort has withstood rain, freezing cold, more snow dumped from the sky! We thought we would lose it when it rained because it began melting..... But, it's still out front with flags still intact! Of course, Andrew has had to do some "repair work" from time to time.... But, it still stands true, offering protection from wind and others' SNOWBALLS (and nerf bullets!).

But, this FORT will not always be standing....the days will become warmer.....this fort WILL melt away.

That's why we must make God our fortress! He will never melt, crumble, or fade away! He is our strong tower.....

"I love you, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge." Psalm 18:1

Happy Birthday to me!

I'm 42 today!!!!!

I thought I would post some pictures so you can get to know me a bit more....

This is the REAL me....mouth WIDE OPEN! This is my "smile"!

My first pair of flannel PJs....got em for Christmas this year. Love em. Got em on now!

One of my favorite places in the world...Chicago.....with my very favorite people in the world!

That's me during every video we watch! I usually fall asleep about half way through. So sad that my kids can outlast me every time!

I hope you got to know me a little more today! I'll be hanging out at "A Woman Inspired"....enjoying the teaching and the company of lots of fantastic, creative, efficient, and inspiring women! Blessings!

Happy Birthday, Honey!

This is the day the Lord has made! Let us REJOICE and be glad in it!!!!Psalm 118:24

Happy Birthday, Honey!

Today is the LOVE of my life's birthday (do I dare share how old?Ha!)

Brian, each year, I fall in love with you more and more. You are such a blessing to me. You are my "better half", constantly encouraging me...helping me....CHALLENGING me to be my best. I love how you are always forgiving....no matter what the SILLY thing I do (like forgetting to turn the furnace back on in below zero weather!!). You are so loving, kind, and gracious.

You are a FANTASTIC cook.....

Teaching Andrew how to be a man..

The ultimate GAME PLAYER...

You even wait in line for hours because it was the "ONLY thing" Andrew wanted to do in Chicago (ha), even though waiting in line is excruciating for you!

Teaching the kids how to fish...

Always the builder....even skeletons!

Such a good Daddy...

Showing them they ARE Princesses...

We love you, Honey!

Happy Birthday!

2009 in pictures!

I was a bit "media challenged" in 2009, with my computer crashing and losing so many of my pictures. But, it was a wonderful year (thank You, Lord!), full of some great memories.

A great trip to Chicago!
