The Violet Burning

I went for a jog/walk this morning and grabbed Chris' iPod for a change in music. We had added tons of our CDs (read: HIS music and MY music) to his iPod a few years ago. I like to play the music on shuffle and was SO excited when this song came on...

I played it 3 times in a row. It is such a good reminder of what Jesus did for us!

Getting Ready for the Week

Here the kids are coloring Dylan's lunch sacks for the week. Payton even colors some for him.

I write notes on the napkins for Dylan each day. Is it bad that I still sign it "Mommy"?

For other news, it looks like we have finally found a church home! Can't wait to get involved and start serving. :) Thank you to each one of you who were praying for us for this - it is a huge answer to prayer!

Would you believe me if I told you this is what I ate for dinner?

Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

If you knew me at all, of course you would say "yes". I said this was for dinner because we ate it around 6:45pm. BUT we had a "Linner" (lunch/dinner) at 2:30 which was this:

So does THAT make it better?
