1 Thes 5:16-18
Always be joyful and never stop praying. Whatever happens, keep thanking God because of Jesus Christ. This is what God wants you to do.

I thankful that she's in Heaven with You, Lord.

Happy Birthday sweet Noah! You are one of my favorite guys on the planet!! God made you especially special.

Have a fun day at Disneyland. xo

Noah for President!

So, remember how my 3 kids and Salina and Noah believe they are all brothers and sisters?

A couple of days ago Morgan and Cole (same ages as Salina and Noah, respectively) were talking about the election. I don't even remember the content of the conversation but I remember asking Jack if he knew who the president was? I knew he was not going to say W. but I was interested to hear what he was going to come up with - he is 3, after all. Without skipping a beat he said, "Noah. Noah is president."

So, feel free to "write in" Noah today on your ballot.

Happy Birthday Salina! Thirteen!! (Teen! wow!) I love you sweetie. Wish I was there. I am very proud of you!

Happy Birthday Bff

Happy Birthday, sweet one. You are very missed.

Today, in honor of you, I will:

Thank the Lord for the sunrise.
Make a nice dinner, and use my good dishes.
Make an Angel Food cake (your fav) from scratch, because that is what you would expect.
Turn up the music, loud.
Kiss all my children
Tell yours how much I love them.
Not worry about the dust, the dishes, the homework.
Tell Rod how wonderful he is and how lucky he is have me. :0
Rip out the carpet while Rod works. . .just kidding.

You should take great joy in knowing you will be forever young while the rest of us get wrinkles.

So glad God gave me you and your sweet family.

Love,
Me

I'd like to welcome Natalie Grant to Bff's playlist over on the sidebar. I have been waiting for this song to be available in playlist form ('cause you know I could not figure that out on my own!). Anyway, take a listen. It has been around a few years. You may have heard it on KLove (or whatever Christian station you got).

Kids are great. Jeff is great. And they are held in the palm of His hand while Karin looks on.

Today is PINK Day! But, today is a different PINK day that the rest. Today is the last time I will remind you it is PINK day. I have concluded that if you are wearing PINK in honor of the Carters (and you have been doing it this long) you are true blue and don't need to be reminded. So, I guess I am kinda letting go a little and that is probably a good thing. I will wear PINK for the rest of my life on the 19th of every month. In fact, any time I am wearing PINK you can be sure I am thinking of Karin. It is just one of those things that reminds me of Karin. Kinda like the Life is Good store. :) And a bunch of other stores, come to think of it (wink, wink).


Have a PINK day!
