Mommy For A Night


Last night I was able to be a mommy....but only for the night. ;-)

My parents and I babysat Lena and she spent the night..in my room It was really weird getting up at 5 to pat her back to make her go back to sleep. And patting and patting...and patting. :-) At 5:30 I thought it was time for a little warm milk....it worked...until 6. She then grabbed up her toy cow and stood up in her pack and play...ready to come into bed with me. Which she did until 8:30. She read and watched a DVD in my bed...while I tried to grab a few more minutes of ZZZ. :-) I don't know...I think I still want a few more years before motherhood. :-) All in all she was a little angel though! I call this "practical mommy training for the future. " Don't you agree?!!!



In other news...I thought it was time for a new look. Spring is here and the black looked kind of wintry. I am loving this weather. Today it is suppose to be 84! I'm thrilled. :-) Here are a few pictures of this beautiful tree in the front of our house. It is in full bloom...beautiful pink blossoms! I had a few difficulties capturing the full beauty because of the sun glare.



Happy Spring!

"Give Me Jesus"

Give me Jesus...this is my cry. I don't need anything else...just give me Jesus my Lord. This song has come to be one of my favorites over the last year. I have listened to it with a glad heart in my kitchen....with a sad heart at a funeral. But, most assuredly I always listen to it and afterwards I have a content heart, a peaceful heart. This video was done for Mrs. Ruth Graham for a beautiful tribute DVD after she died. Although this is a beautiful video, what I really wanted to have you listen to were the words. The beautiful words. If need be, just close your eyes and listen. (Don't forget to turn off Beauty and the Beast!)
