Best Friend

The neighbor's cat has been hanging out in our garage this winter, at first my kids DISLIKED the cat greatly, however, now Julia has taken a liking to the cat and named the cat BEST FRIEND and looks for it every time we go outside. Right now, her and "Best friend" are playing.

This is the stuff

I LOVE christian radio....it doesn't matter if it is a song, a quick 5 minute tibet, or a program, God uses it to draw me closer to him....like today when I was CRABBY and all the morning events were dragging me down, the song "This Is The Stuff" by Francesca Battistellie came on and I immediately started filling in the the "stuff" that drives me crazy only to realize this is the stuff He uses.....

Chorus:
This is the stuff that drives me crazy.
This is the stuff that's getting to me lately.
In the middle of my little mess I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I've got to trust You know exactly what You're doing
Might not be what I might choose
But this is the stuff you use

Oh Julia

the things you say and the things you do.....
*you are a VERY slow pooper! You take your dear sweet time except of course when Dora is on. Well the other day Gama(Grandma) was helping you and was encouraging you to move a little faster and your response was "Be patient Gama".
*You also do not like panties, some days you will wear them, but most days you do not. So the when Daddy told you to put your panties on you replied "no thank you daddy".
*Tonight you learned that those are pepper seeds not grapes on the pepper can and while throwing a temper tantrum, Daddy tried to distract you from throwing your fit and you told him "I am busy throwing my fit!".
I swore I would always dress you to match and look very cute...not sure if this qualifies as matching or very cute but for some reason I don't care! Maybe it is because you are so darn stubborn that I have just given up! But as much as your 2 year old little self drives me crazy most mornings, I LOVE you with all my heart and will treasure the moments of your year of being 2!

The difference 2 days can make

What a difference a couple of days can make....this is Thursday evening and this is Sunday afternoon.

Sneaky

Memphis is SNEAKY! He came to preschool with me and the minute I turned my back he did this.....

painted his WHOLE arm and hands!

Valentines Boxes

Today we went to Grandma's School and made our valentines boxes. Julia quote "Grandma it's not coming out"...."Grandma got to much" (notice the glue spill on the table!)

It's a girl!

Meet our little girl......

Baby Baker # 2 is a HEALTHY baby girl. The words "healthy" just ring in my ears as I praise God for such a blessing. I am having a "thus far" moment!

Here are a few pictures of our baby girl! Julia is going to have a sister! I look at these pictures and can't help but recite Psalms 139: 13~ "For you created my inmost being: you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
This is her heart beating strong about 117 beats per minute. I could actually see her little heart working.

Her spine...

Her thigh bone....


Her foot that likes to kick me :)
My prayer for you little girl is that you would know Jesus and that you would love Him and invite Him into you heart!
