Well, would you look at what Southwest Airlines flew in… a bundle a sweetness.
With a side of cuteness!

Someone sent her aunt 37 messages counting down the arrival of a certain plane from Orlando. I can only imagine the buzzing and dinging that phone did when she turned it back on! It’s such a blessing to see the relationship this girl has with her aunt!

There are no words… for how much I love this kid… and her individuality… and her boldness… and her sassiness… and her, um, knack for pulling an outfit together.

Today is the day we deliver the volcano to the “rainforest” (a.k.a. the hallway outside the art room). And I thought my life lacked adventure…
Please, no comments about her hair. That’s how she likes to wear her bangs. And some mornings I just don’t have the energy to argue with her. And the smile, oh don’t get me started. I tried. That’s the best she could do before school. I guess she just didn’t have the energy to argue with me. Love.Her.

All the movement in this picture… and all the blur… and yet the BALL is in focus. The story of my picture.taking.life.

Upward Basketball started today! That’s my Lady Yellow Jacket, #1 in orange. It’s so hard for this Aggie to dress my girl in orange! She makes it look good, though!

“True friendship is based on trust, honesty and sincere generosity of our hearts.” - Song Park
This is especially true when that generosity includes gifting office supplies…

go Mustangs!
Well, we’re back at it in full swing. Mustang basketball was on the court for back to back games today. The girls were a little… rusty. They lost both games which is very unusual for them. I’m going to blame it on all the fudge they ate over the Christmas break.
Pickles actually had a great game. She had quite a number of rebounds and even scored twice. When the final score is only 21-28 scoring twice is a pretty decent percentage! And, she was 2 for 3 on her shots. We’re still working on being more aggressive… the kid is just too nice. I know she’s got it in her… I’ve seen it!!
Overall she had a great game… so proud of her!
read any good books lately?
I downloaded this book over the New Year’s weekend… Kindle had it on sale for $2.99 (thanks, Dayna for the head’s up!). I quickly proceeded to get completely involved and read until 2:00 AM. I finished reading the book on our way home. The Chapman family’s story is something I’ve been following for a while. I read Mary Beth’s blog and when I saw she was writing a book about the loss of their little girl, I knew I would want to read it.
Mary Beth has a way of telling her story… like she is talking to a friend, telling you about her pain, her hope, her struggles, and her heart. This is one amazing, real family. One of the best things she said in the book didn’t have anything to do with dealing with Maria’s death. She touched on something I wish a lot of people would understand about Christians in general but especially those in leadership.
“I believe that Steven’s success, and the fact that it put both of us in the spotlight, was part of God’s plan to glorify Himself through my struggles and inadequacies. I am the absolute least likely candidate in the world to be a ‘Christian celebrity wife.’”
“But God made me the way He did and gave me the story we’re living. And even though I am not your usual candidate for celebrity wifedom, I believe it is all about showing off HIS glory. If a lot of people are watching our faith journey, our marriage, and our family because of Steven’s musical success, then that’s great, because it will help shatter the illusion that Christians are supposed to be perfect.”
“People need to know that Christian leaders, singers, preachers, writers, whoever, are as cracked and broken as the next person. Maybe more so. Hopefully they are in positions of leadership, though, because they are serious about following Christ, and so people can see that real success in the kingdom of God is not about being strong and looking good and knowing all the right answers. It’s about continually yielding oneself to Jesus and determining to take purposeful little steps of obedience, and the ragged reality that it’s all about God and His grace at work in us.”
Her candidness about the day of the accident and the days following is heart-wrenching. She tells of many “breadcrumbs” that have been left along the way, to remind them that Maria will always be a part of them and that the Lord remembers them. The way she has dealt with Maria’s loss is amazing, yet very very real. She doesn’t sugar-coat the pain. But she does continually point to the fact that her hope is in Jesus. That there is hope. And joy.
Definitely a good read!

This may seem like a strange picture, but it depicts part of my life. Hubby’s family makes their own sausage. We grind it and package it over the Christmas holiday with his family. We brought home about 35 pounds of it and promptly filled up the freezer when we returned home today.

project 365
Happy New Year!
Have you heard of Project 365? You take a picture every day for the whole year and post it on your blog. I had a friend who dedicated a whole blog to doing this last year. She had so much fun she’s doing it again. My sister’s sister-in-law is doing the same thing and threw it out there for others to join as well. I spent all of last year wishing I’d done it so I’m going to jump in and at least give it a try… Knowing me I’ll be done by February, but who knows… it’s just one picture a day, right? Anyone else want to join in the fun?
