Behold children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a mighty warrior, so are the children of one's youth. How blessed are those whose quiver is full of them."
"The Bible calls debt a curse, and children a blessing. In our society, we apply for a curse and reject blessings. What is wrong with this picture?"--- Doug Phillips, Vision Forum Ministries

Anna's current night time (and lunch time) prayer:
"Dear Jesus, Thank you for the blessings that you give each day, please give daddy favor at work, help Sereny to poop and please give us a big back yard with a dog and a trampoline"
Saturday night after being ditched by our family we decided to take the girls to Southlake Town Square. This is one of Anna's favorite places to go because she loves the cows. They have these large cow statues that the kids climb all over (although I don't think they are suppose to).
We got Corner Bakery and sat out in the park area and ate. Anna played in the fountain (yes IN the fountain) and daddy helped her "ride" a few cows! Then we went to Barnes and Noble to the kid section and took turns reading Anna books and pushing Serene around in the stroller. Then we topped off the evening with cookies! It was such a fun evening... who needs extended family? =)
A year and a half ago when we moved into this house I asked my cousin who is an amazing artist (18 years old) to paint me something black and white to go with my color scheme and she did. The only catch, she lives in Midland. So, this weekend after waiting a very long time, I finally got my painting and it was VERY worth the wait!!! It is incredible and looks amazing in the living room!! Anyway, I just wanted to show off her work!! Thanks McKinley!!
