been thinkin'...

+about nie nie & how inspirational she is (afterall, she inspired my thinkin' post). when i saw her last few posts, i nearly fell on the floor in tears. she is truly an inspiring mother & an amazing woman.

+about hope. now hope is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. hebrews 11:1

+about the friends around me whom i love very much.
+about potty training. all kids go to kindergarten potty trained, right?

+about a family pic like this or this. we don't have one professional family pic with all of us in it. it's time.

+about baby elliot. when are you going to get here lil' guy?

+about the message on sunday, choosing to be better or bitter..it was a good one.

+about this blog. it's so refreshing to see some good ol' fashion praise sometimes.

+about memories. my sister & i found our memory boxes in my parents garage on sunday. i think that's one of my very favorite things to do..remember. i don't know why. i think it's because i love the life i have lived & i love the people in my life. man, do i have a lot of good, funny, meaningful memories.

+about banana cream pie. sometimes, it makes everything better.

+about working out again in the near future. i'm a big baby when it comes to working out, but i need energy. any suggestions where to start?

great post! got me thinkin' too:)

fun pictures!

about working out...I started eating ezekial bread and muffins and the sprouts give me energy to work out. I started with small do-able exercises that make me feel able, rather than disabled.

Love that post-Can't believe I'm commenting? My twins would still be in diapers if Danny hadn't broke down and potty trained them-he did it the week we brought Tate home from the hospital-Good Luck-I haven't seen and kindegardeners in diapers. They will be just fine!

work out?...are you ka-raaazy!..yuck! said...

looks like you got you're creative back, that you thought you would be out of for a while!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE the header! and the pictures! it all makes me smile! and about this working out bit!...c'mon, no need to put that un-fun in yo day! it stinks! that's why it's called "working" out! if it was fun it wouldn't be working! therefore...my point is....no working let's just have a fun day! you've got energy! you just have 3 year olds! trust me-when i hang out with you i don't see HOW you have the energy you do!! and let's be honest-it's more fun to eat (pie and brownies) and be merry than work out, so this friend is not gonna tell you to work out or how to start or encourage that, because i know i don't wanna do it myself! let's start a "we don't work out click"!!! more fun- right!! love!
