Happy Sunday evening to you all! :) I'm sure I've said it before but I absolutely LOVE Sundays! We went to church this morning, out for lunch, home for 3 hour afternoon naps, bowls of cereal for supper (no cooking!) and some good family time this evening. It was such a great day!
____________________________________________
The other night we had planned on going swimming after supper. We got to the pool, got out of the car and started walking towards the pool when we heard thunder. The lifeguard immediately whistled everybody out of the water and closed the pool. Of course Emma didn't understand why thunder would close the pool so this sent her into a real tizzy :). So, instead of going swimming we promised her the next best thing. Peach Custard at Culvers!
It was the best thing I have tasted in a LONG while!!!
As you can tell Sleepy Beauty joined us :)
Emma and Colt have discovered how silly a magnifying glass can be! (and creepy in my opinion ha!)
And we're also discovering he has a love for books just like his sister. I found him like this one evening after his bath. He sat and looked at books quietly by himself for thirty minutes. :)
His cheeks in this picture crack me up!

Tonight I came across this song and videos through this blog.
I encourage you to click on the song and listen to it. It was written by a dad/father who was desperate to reprioritize his life and save his marriage.
Some of my favorite lyrics from the song are...
"So, Father give me the strength
To be everything I'm called to be.
Oh, Father show me the way to lead them.
Won't you lead me?
To lead them, with strong hands
To stand up, when they can't.
Don't want to leave them hungry for love.
Chasing things that I could give up.
I'll show them I'm willing to fight
And give them the best of my life.
So we can call this a home.
Lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone.
Father, lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone."
