The Tender Mercies of the Lord

The Tender Mercies of the Lord

It's a girl!

Yes, we're having another GIRL! Isn't that a cute profile? I know she'll be just as darling as our other three. Now we just have to come up with a name, that's going to be the hardest part.

And the award goes to......

I am the luckiest woman in the world! I have the best husband in the world. He is incredible!

He is not at all hesitant to take a pink and purple car to the pinewood derby race. He named his car Little Women and had daisies on it. He did it for his girls, all FOUR of them. He could have made a real manly car just like the other men, but he thought of his daughters and made one for them! I love that he thinks of little things like that. The girls, of course, loved it. And guess what??? He took 2^nd place out of 24 cars. Yes, the LITTLE WOMEN car beat out all but one! WAY TO GO!!!

I am so grateful for him. He brought home some strawberries for me the other day when I was stressed and very tired. I had the yummiest bowl of cereal with strawberries…or should I say strawberries with cereal… they were so pretty and bright red I could not resist taking a picture. Don't strawberries just make you smile?

Anna's Birthday

Anna turned 9! She is growing up so fast and loves the Jonas Brothers.

Anna got her ears pierced. The rule was that she had to wait until she was nine. She was very excited and hardly nervous. I was scared enough for both of us. She didn’t even flinched. She is excited to be able to wear all the cute earrings she got for her birthday.
