phone dump

i don't have too many coherent thoughts. my nose feels like this:

{that's my friend holly. she did a circus party for her girls. yes, she's super fun. i hope you don't mind, holly. a picture is truly worth a thousand words. now i didn't have to EXPLAIN how my nose feels!}

i think it's allergies. because i feel fine, my nose is just super stuffy and i want to rub it off my face. i REALLY don't like to take medicine (with the exception of stuff to help me sleep. i NEED my sleep!), so i'm being stubborn and haven't taken anything. yet.

some pics from my phone this week.

one morning i had to mail a couple things. our post office is a little over a mile away. so we walked. it was SO nice out. the road was being paved and sawyer thought it was the BEST thing ever to get to watch it as we walked!

just going to insert some fun thoughts that i've read...

"There are people who take the heart out of you, and there are people who put it back." Elizabeth David

true. thankful for the latter.

"In America, we've learned the art of being verbally passionate but highly unresponsive Christ followers."

Jennie Allen from anything

we got to see hannah this week!!!! made EVERYONE'S week better! :-)

"I think a father's job, when it's done best, is to get down on both knees, lean over his children's lives, and whisper, 'Where do you want to go?' Every day God invites us on the same kind of adventure. It's not a trip where He sends us a rigid itinerary, He simply invites us. God asks what it is He's made us to love, what it is that captures our attention, what feeds that deep indescribable need of our souls to experience the richness of the world He made. And then, leaning over us, He whispers, 'Let's go do that together.'"

can you tell i LOVE my mornings with this little dude?!?

"Jesus said that unless you know Him like a child you'll never really know Him at all. Kids don't care about facts, and they certainly dont' study each other. They're just with each other; they do stuff together. That's what Jesus had in mind."
