Daily Grind . . .oh, how sweet it is

So, it seems after the last blogging, well, you all thought we do lots of partying here. We do, but I thought I would put a few pics of our daily grind too. I read a quote this week that was a new adrenaline for being faithful in the small things. "the truth is that your life (both now and later) will requrie you to invest a lot of time and energy in the things that aren't big and that don't seem to make much of an impact. Some days they don't even make sense. Sometimes, the smallest things can be the hardest of all. . . this is our lives, the "stuff" that makes up everyday living. But guaranteed you will get results over time. There are huge gifts hiding in these packages. We are excercising our bodies, minds, and faith." Wow, for a mom I am so thrilled to say that my joy and delight here in this world truly can come from wiping snotty noses, putting Titus's pants on after every potty trip, practicing writing a lower case "g" for the thousandth time, smiling at each morning as if I am truly happy to see everyone awake, folding laundry . . .etc. We are doing all to the glory of God!!! What a gift for being able to have this family and be able to be home with them. Thank you, Doug, for letting me be at home with these boys.
This would be Sollie begging for food from Grandpa. It is now the norm if you have food in his vicinity.
Yep, lots and lots of eating.
We love reading books.
And looking at pictures.
And "reading" . . .yes, he drools like a crazy man.
