Thanking Him for the Little Things

brothers...camouflaged against bright white snow...crawling on hands and knees...stalking a bird trying to find but a seed on the frozen white


sisters...playing tea party...little bitty...running to the water tank and filling her cup...saying..."party, party, party"...


Miss LouLou...wearing her princess dress...spinning around...the sunlight catching the sequins and sending sparkles all over the wall...reminding me of the sparkle that she brings to our days


Little one....flip-flopping within me...Will you have lots of hair like one of your big sisters?...Will you suck your thumb like one of  your big brothers?...one thing is for sure she has already captured our hearts

Little Bitty...grabbing my hand..."mone mommy"...pulling me to the bed..."cubers", she says...as she climbs into the bed...beckoning me to follow...snuggling under the covers...giggling

My love...getting this blog printed into a book...for me...for us...knowing this is my scrapbook for my children

the calmness I already feel in my spirit...after spending a few moments with Him...each morning...hiding his word in my heart...slowly memorizing...just letting him now each day I need a meek and quiet spirit

Little Bitty...blond hair...in a ponytail...looking so big...still wanting mommy to hold and do everything for her

LouLou pigtail braids...looking so cute...that grin...helping me make homemade poptarts...folding the towels without being asked...getting to be such a good helper.

How do you make homemade poptarts? We love those things but I would really rather make them!!

Im going to have to google poptarts - dont have them in the Uk! But, if you are keen to do a recipe post, I will DEFINATELY give them a try.

We bake as a craft at least three times a week, so new recipes always welcome!
