Psalm 127:3-5

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
."

Getting better

I took Serene to the doctor yesterday and thank goodness it's not an ear infection or in fact anything that requires antibiotics (hate those)! Just a good old common cold virus. Her fever was down yesterday afternoon and she slept well last night.... we put her car seat in the co-sleeper next to our bed so she could sit up a little while she slept! Although, I am not sure what it would take for Serene to not sleep good. She loves to sleep! =) Her name says it all!

Jimmy went to the doctor as well and he had a pretty bad ear infection. I don't think I have heard of many adults with ear infections BUT, he said the pain was pretty bad. He got some meds and is on his way to feeling better!

I am so glad everyone is doing better.... it is so scary when little ones are sick with a high fever! Thanks for all the prayers!

Sick baby girl

Please say a prayer for our sweet baby Serene. She was sick all day yesterday and had a pretty high fever all night. I am taking her to the doctor this morning. OH, and Jimmy is sick too.... just say a prayer for all of us!

"Camping 3"



"Camping 2"





"Camping"






This past weekend we went "camping". It was not real tent camping but it was at a camp! =) I subscribe to a WONDERFUL magazine called Above Rubies that is all about encouragement for moms in the highest calling of motherhood! The incredible women (Nancy Campbell) who writes the magazine as a ministry to moms speaks at retreats all over the country (and world). Last year we wen to the Texas retreat and had such an amazing time that we went back this year. Serene and I went to hear Nancy speak while Jimmy and Anna fished, played on the AWESOME playgorund, hiked, flew a kite, played basketball, etc. We all came home feeling refreshed and renewed! It is always great for me to spend time meeting and talking with other moms that are like-minded and as for Jimmy and Anna those two would be happy to live outside! They both had a blast being outdoors for 3 straight days!

I am glad to be home BUT in a way I wish everyday was like this weekend!
