Trip.

So we had a long day yesterday. We got to the airport two and a half hours early. We finally got to the gate about an hour before we were to board, but let the girls run for a little while. I am so thankful that my dad was able to be there to help out. God totally provided yesterday, and in ways I wasn't expecting. Atalie cried most of the trip, but I had a great couple of ladies around me that kept trying to entertain her. She was totally spent by the time we arrived...only slept for maybe 15 minutes all day! Inger on the other hand did pretty well. She slept for maybe 20 minutes :) but all in all the flight actually felt like it went by fast. When we arrived my sis and mom were waiting with open arms. It was great. We had a quick dinner and then an hour trip home. On our way we saw some beautiful sights. The Capitol, the Washington monument, the Jefferson memorial, all sorts of amazing historic sights. It was great. A good end to the day. So, bottom line is that God is good. Even in the midst of chaos and wanting to just flat out cry, He is my stay. The peace that surpasses all understanding...(sigh)

park.

Ampa found a new little park!

Today we got a concrete patio poured and I finished up all the details of the trip to see B. He woke me up this morning with a phone call. It was the best way to wake up! He is doing great, and though it's hard, God is working in a mighty way right now. I got a little down on myself the lately because I haven't been in the word much lately. And how I should be doing all I can do to fight well during this time. That all that we go through is for others and to serve others, that the comfort we receive from Christ is to help those who need to be comforted. But even though I fail, He has reminded me in beautiful little ways that He is providing and caring for us. It is very humbling to think that the Almighty would have time to help me. Little ol' me. I haven't done anything, I can't do anything, and He knows I will only fail. "He remembers we are but dust"...I love that. He knows, and He still loves and pursues. He is a warrior, strong and victorious, burning with passion for His bride. Oh to think and muse on that tonight.

mail call!

We got a letter from daddy!

Good night!

fun filled day.

We had a fun filled day today.  Caiden came over to play for most of the day (he is such a gem to have) and then at small group tonight, they busted out the big slide!  It was in the 70s, but it didn't feel like it for long.  The kids had a blast.  Thank you A and T for the fun!

happy fathers day!

Happy fathers day! B we miss you and love you so so much! The girls were up at 5 something this morning...Atalie is already back to sleep, and it's not quite 8. And Inger just created a new purple marker tatoo...good thing it's washable!

Atalie found her nose :)

Inger reading to George.

Syrup face!

Ampa is sure gettin his fill of grandkids.

mud run.

I did the survivor mud run today. The weather was drizzly, but the girls were pretty good. The race itself was absolutely fun. The only thing is that I had to wait three different times to go over an obstacle...one of them I waited for over 40 minutes. So, looking at my time that was clocked for me, I'm a little slow (25 min miles!). It's all good though. It was really fun to do. I can't wait to do another one.

Inger met a friend...her daddy is in the CG as well. There were a few of them that were running in it.

I had to add this picture because Inger just looks so darn cute!

Yeah! I finished...And yes, I am giving a thumbs up because I am cheesy and excited all at the same time. This picture really doesn't do justice to the amount of mud clinging to me. In the words of Inger later... "mommy stinky" - translation, I needed a shower :)

goodnight daddy!
