Summer and Fall

Morning Routine

When I looked at Leo this morning I thought 'I'd better take a picture of this pose before it disappears' as this is a daily routine of his... that just happens to be completely adorable.

Can you spot the author?

Expo portraits

I drew this picture of myself before I went to work today with a speacial message to rose.






I came home to this...






My favorite part is the donut






In roses own words..."classic peg!"

Prayer

Last night I headed to Rose's room to begin the bedtime routine of book, prayer, then song. As I entered I found she had already began without me. She was sitting up hands folded, eye squinched, head bowed, giggling. As I walked in she says " oh, hehe, I was just praying to God, hehe". I was dying to hear her prayer and wanted to encourage her so I sat and let her finish. She began by asking for peace on her and Leo, then said she would like to eat candy tomorrow and finally she wanted to get herself dressed in the morning. I began to imagine God's joy with our first prayers/convos with him how ever simple they begin. Sweet.

Crush

The only way I can get Leo in his seat is by telling him we are going to see his cousin Mia. It's just a little crush not like I faint every time we touch.

MTV Insect Cribs

I think I saw some hunter gatherers come out of this ant hill and take out an antelope.

NASCAR 09

Every year the guys in our family go to the NASCAR race at lowes motor speedway in Charlotte NC. Below are the chronicles of the 09 trip. GOGOGOGO!


Ronnie is ready!


Once we got to the tailgate Ronnie realized he left his gloves in the car and we had to walk back a mile to the car. It was okay though cause we scored these awesome free mark Martin mugs! Boogie!


Also we saw these ladies jumping rope over this line of bras. Only in America.



It was about 40 degrees while we were there. I had on two pairs of socks but we left early cause of how cold it was.

New Boots

Leo's new kicks! Yahoo!

Fireplace

Tonight I suggested that we set a fire in our fireplace and Kyra laughed reminding me that the last time I did it singed my eyebrow off.

Seriously.

The hair on my face became red with embers for a second as I was hurled back by a gust of gas flame. Then they were white for like a week.
