more of harrison,.

Like I said in my earlier post, I took lots of pictures.

So here are the rest of them.(:

cute lil grin!

Love those eyes!!

He's so funny about texture, especially grass.lol.

He just doesn't like how it feels..

It's so nice to have him outside because you can set him on a

blanket or sleeping bag and know he'll stay there!

He got 2 hands on the grass, but that's about the furtherest he's gotten.

I love this picture!!

Some of the many expressions of a 9 month old.

We spend our lives dreaming of the future,

not realizing that a little of it slips away every day.

Elise Joy~

You may have noticed that I have a sister Elise.

Well, we know another Elise too, and she just turned 3!!

On the day of her birthday we met with her family at the zoo,

but it was over spring break and there were sooooo many people there.

So instead, we decided to have a picnic and spend the afternoon at the park.

Than we came to our house for supper and cake and ice cream.

After we ate, I asked her mom if I could

take a few pictures of her and she said "Sure!".

So I had the privlege of taking this sweet girls pictures!

  

I think little girlies are so much fun to take pictures of..

{BFF::Elise and Courtney}

I love to watch these girls play.

They act so much alike its hilarious!

And they even have the same gorgeous eyes!!

I love the look of concentration on her face as she tries to hold up 3 fingers!!

{sister Evangeline}

I let her 'model' a buttefly clip I made.(:

Thanks Arloa for letting me take pictures of your adorable daughter!

Happy Birthday Lisey Joy!

wanting...

Wanting peace and quiet on a lovely afternoon...

The other afternoon I went out behide our shed

in hope of having a little quiet time.

It was quiet and peaceful too.......with the exception of loud music blaring from the neighbors on the next street over, constant sound of traffic going by our house(including lots of loud motorcycle's), a neighbor mowing their lawn, and an airplane flying overhead.

At times it's difficult to find a place of solitude when you live by a busy highway and on the edge of town. Even my bedroom, located by the main entrance to our house, isn't quiet most of the time.

I love peace and quiet, silence and stillness.

The sound of birds in the tree's.

The sounds of nature. And I love the country.

There are times when God strips us of things around us,

things we take forgranted or don't notice, so we can appreciate them more.

That's kinda've where I am right now.

But God's plans are greater than ours,

and I am so thankful for parents who listen to, and obey what He says.

When we moved here over a year ago,

we thought we would only be here for a few months--6 months at the most.

Look where we are, still here!

But I'd much rather be here, a place I would rather not be sometimes, 

than somewhere else and out of God's will for my life.

Three different translations of Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,

saith the LORD, thoughts of peace,

 and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

~

I alone know the plans I have for you,

plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster,

plans to bring about the future you hope for.

~

For I know the purposes which I am planning for you,

says Jehovah; purposes of peace,

and not for evil; to give you posterity and a hope.

Trust in the Lord, and do good;

so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

Delight thyself also in the Lord;

and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Commit thy way unto the Lord;
trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

  Psalm 37:3-5

For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand,

saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

Isaiah 41:13
