My God is MIGHTY!

I am constantly amazed at the mind of my three-year-old. Yesterday, while at the park, Owen fell and hurt his back. I was a little worried at first, but he seemed to bounce back rather quickly. He complained about it a little at nap time and like always, he told me that God and Jesus would heal it. When he woke up he ran to me with true excitement saying, "My back is better. God and Jesus healed it because they are MIGHTY!" I wondered if he knew what mighty meant or if he had recently learned a song at church with this new word. He told me, "It means they are very, very strong!"

Owen and Eli remind me daily that we serve a MIGHTY GOD!!

I am also head over heals in love with my sweet Eli. He is trying so hard to walk. He walks across the living room, around the kitchen, but just won't take off by himself for long distances. At times he looks at me with those precious eyes as if to say, "I'll do it soon Mommy. Just let me do things on my own time." And here I am typing this and crying because I want him to do all things in his own time...no pressure, just pure joy. I want every day to be like today when he is amazed at the breeze, the sunshine and sticky fingers from ice cream. I'll let you take your time Eli and I'll treasure every moment I get to share with you.

The Marathon

This weekend I watched my husband cross the finish line of his second marathon and Owen cross the finish line of his 1K. I am so proud of my two runners.

WHY?

Owen has started asking "Why?" in response to everything!
It's time for your nap...why
It's time for bed...why
Why did Jesus die on the cross?
Why did Noah not get a punishment? What is a punishment?
Why can't I run in the street? Why Mama, why?
Why can't I go to swimming lessons NOW?
The list could go on for days.

Last night, Aaron wanted to test him on this so when Owen told Aaron that he loved him, Aaron asked, "Why?"
Owen: Because I love you.
Aaron: Why?
Owen: I just do, I love you.
Aaron: Why?
Owen: Because that's what love is. It's how I feel.
Aaron: I love you too buddy.

I love to listen in on moments like this. I want to hold all three of my boys and tell them I love them...just because that's what love is.

Belated Birthday Post--Owen's Day

Here is Owen's big day. He turned 3 on Feb. 13th. Eli decided to sleep in on this day, so Owen had a birthday cake decorating party with Mommy and Baby Bear. As you can see, Owen chose to cover his cake with candy. I love this silly little boy!

Belated Birthday Post--Eli's Day

These are some pictures of Eli's big ONE year birthday. We took these on the big day (Feb. 12). Owen just had to sneak in on the fun too! I adore my sweet, sweet Eli. His smile just fills my heart with joy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOYS

Where has the time gone my little ones?
My little 4 week and 2 year old are now ready to take on the world.
Have at it boys, but remember to take God with you all the way.
