Well here’s my life as a young teen in photos. I can actually remember most of these now :), pretty amazing all the spots I got to live and visit happy memories. Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Tivoli, Little Mermaid, Berlin, Brandenburg Gate, Check Point Charlie and The Eiffel Tower to name a few.
If anyone I know from back then frequents this blog please leave a comment or track back, specifically anyone in this pic.
Devin went to the dentist for the first time yesterday and was such a brave boy and thankfully didn’t have any cavities either.
On the way home I got a little distracted with Joan as we stopped at this incredibly cheap store and I found these knock offs of “Crocs” for only $1.99…it didn’t matter that they were blinding bright!
So what should have been a harmless $4.00 purchase for 2 pairs of shoes turned into a frustrating and irritating non-refundable, kicking myself in the pants $10.00 purchase! –It pays to pay attention to signs. Oh well, at least I scored in getting 24 Omega-3 gel capsules from the 99 cent store next door…and in case you’re wondering, the Omega-3 is not expired.
Spring is here and Wesley’s officially a walker now and Devin’s officially an independent preschooler. Most of the time Devin’s a joy to be around, except when he’s hungry, thanks Connie for helping us to figure that one out!
Just for the record, “hungry” for Devin means going more than 2 hours without eating…sometimes he’ll break out in this angry “no, no, no” (times 25!) song or sorts and each “no” gets progressively more expressive that it’s hard to believe he’s only saying one word. But his sweetness far outweighs his negative emotional outbursts. Like when he picks flowers for me, or holds the door open for me as he tells me how he’s being a gentleman, or tells me he wants to be a teacher just like me when he grows up…it’s always entertaining hearing his latest observations or remarks.
Here are photo highlights from March, never mind that I’m over a month behind, could be worse. I tell you, March was packed with one adventure after another…there’s never a dull moment in our lives for Jesus that’s for sure!
A Child’s Prayer
God, make my life a little light, within the world to glow,
A little flame that burneth bright, wherever I may go.
God, make my life a little flower, that giveth joy to all,
Content to bloom in native bower, although the place be small.
God, make my life a little song, that comforts the sad,
That helpeth others to be strong, and makes the singer glad.
God, make my life a little staff, whereon the weak may rest,
And so what health & strength I have, may serve my neighbor best.
God, make my life a little hymm of tenderness & praise;
Of faith that never waxeth dim,
In all His wonderous ways.
- M. Betham-Edwards
