A beautiful sound

This week we are visiting Brynne's grammy. She has not been feeling well today, so at lunch I asked Brynne, "Can we pray for grammy??"
Brynne's been "praying" with us at meals, etc. for awhile now, but always in echo format (I say a line, she repeats it, and so on.)
But today.....she said yes to praying for grammy, then bows her head and says....
"Dear Jesus, grammy, God. aMEN!"
Her first spontaneous prayer. I think God can fill in those blanks :)

This is so precious. I did not realize you had a blog too. I have been so bad about updating mine. I am going to try harder to keep it up. I added your blog to the list of blogs I follow so I can keep up. Brynne is so cute. She has changed a lot since I last saw a picture.

18 months

Camdon turned 18 months old last week! Camdon, you weigh (3/20 at the Dr.'s): 23lbs. and 5 oz. You are 32" long Your head is growing too, and still in the 95% percentile! Can't forget that big ol' head :) You are exploding with words! I am not even sure how many you can say now...you stopped calling daddy "na na" and started calling him "da da" a few weeks ago...I've even heard a few "daddy"'s in there. You say 'cup', 'apple', 'melmo', 'bur bur' (big bird), 'grofer (grover), all the animal names and sounds. You started this week saying, "dump (jump)", which you say every time you try and do it (which is alot). You also have just started saying "pease" along with your sweet "kank koo"....which is one of our favorite things. You say it ALOT....including when you are giving something to someone else, so hand mommy a toy and say 'kank koo'. :) You LOVE to b...

Sometimes life gives you lemons...PART 1

But you can't make lemonade because they're already rotten. And seriously, who wants to drink rotten lemonade? Someone told me, "You'll write your first book about this season of life". Hehe. I can't even remember half of this season. :) I've been thinking about blogging for awhile now, about sleep and what I feel like the Lord is showing me during this...extended....period of time in our life. He IS moving and speaking, and I've been tossing around whether or not to share. I think I will. Sometime. But I think, if I'm going to write my hope-filled "Jesus is showing up so it's all good" post.....it's only fair if I also blog on one of my bad days. Of which there have been many. One of the days that also exposes the deep struggle I've had during this season. Seems fair. So I haven't written anything. The spiritual blog posts are so much easier to write. They make you sound struggling AND strong. Frustrated AND s...

17 months

Camdon, you turned 17 months on Feb. 15th! Perhaps the most important development is that you are FINALLY sleeping through the night!! At the end of January, mommy and daddy left overnight for the first time (youth retreat), and you didn't get up either night....so when we got home, we decided to go for dropping that last pesky wake-up, and you DID it! Mommy is so proud of you! (also, she's almost getting enough sleep to feel her face again--jk (not really :) You like to "talk" or "sing" to yourself in the middle of the night. You are in love with "melmo", "cookie", "bee burr", and Sesame Street in general. Books, stuffed animals...even bits of the show. You love it all. You've taken to turning on the tv and saying, "melmo. Feet." because you want to watch the Elmo's World with the feet in it. If mommy would let you, you would be a VERY happy tv watcher...you think it's mesmerizing. You are my little...
