Are you ready yet?

If you've kept up with our blog at all, you know that Claire is very excited about the fact that Jesus is coming back for His followers one day. Here is our most recent conversation about that...

Claire: So...when is Jesus coming...is He coming on Monday or on Tuesday?
Me: Ummm, I don't know.
Claire: Why?
Me: Only God knows. He's the only one.
Claire: When is He coming?
Me: Ummm, whenever He is ready.
Claire: Oh. I'll ask Daddy. Daddy!!! Daddy, when is Jesus coming? Monday or Tuesday?
Spencer: When He gets ready.
Claire: Is He ready yet?
Spencer: I don't know, God's the only one who knows that.
Claire: Oh. Hey God!!! Are You ready yet???

Shameless Self Promotion

It has just occurred to me that I haven't shared my new business yet on this blog. Shame on me.

I have a new business.

It's called "Photos that Say Something" and it is made up of pictures that I have taken over the years, adding Scripture to them. I offer prints (mostly 8x10 and 11x14) as well as greeting cards. Here are some examples...

I can also do custom orders. If you have a picture that you would like personalized with a Scripture, I can do that; or, if you have a certain occasion or situation that you would like a picture to commemorate, I can work with you to find the "perfect" picture/Scripture/quote/lyrics/etc.

Here are some custom ones that I have done...

Oh, and I have a sale going on right now! How convenient! Through May 31, get 25% off your order by using the code SUMMERSAVINGS at checkout!

Here is the link to my shop!

Just Some Moments

Aaah, there, that's better.

Water Fun

Claire got a new swimsuit. (Thanks Dobby!)

So of course we had to try it out. We headed downtown to the big fountain to play.

Daddy tried to convince Claire to run right through the middle of the BIG fountain with him...

Claire thought about it...

And finally agreed!

There they go!

And then afterward, Claire ate her duck.

Strawberry Pickin'

This child right here...

LOVES to pick strawberries.

This is serious business.

Taylor tried to feed Claire a strawberry. Claire adamantly replied, "No! We have to wash them first!"

As if she hadn't already eaten a dozen of them. Sneaky kid.

Sweet Little Family

Today Claire came to let me know that she had just used the potty. I went with her to the bathroom to make sure everything was "in order" and here is the conversation that occurred:

Claire: I poo-pooed in the potty.
Me: I know, that is so good. You did a good job.
Claire: It came out.
Me: Yes, that's how God made it. To come out.
Claire: (looking in the potty) There's a big one and...a little one. That's the mommy, and that's the baby.

I have the best life ever.

7 Things about Averi Kate

 She just started rolling over from front to back.

She has super long eyelashes.

 She slept through the night once this week. There is hope.

She is pretty laid back and goes with the flow...which is good, because life doesn't slow down when you have a Claire.

She is turning into a very smiley baby. All it takes is for someone to smile at or talk to her, and she lights up like the sunshine.

She is also starting to "talk" a lot. I LOVE baby coos and sqeals.

 I love her. Very much.
