Happy 9 Months, Sawyer!

by shara.anderson on May 19, 2012

Kirk always wonders (out loud) how it seems to take so long for the baby to arrive but how that same amount of time flies by once they are here.

Today Sawyer is 9 months…already!  We love our wispy haired, happy, playful boy!!  Each of the kids adore him.  He is also our fastest moving baby as the others didn’t crawl until 10+ months (they are slow to move, but quick to talk:))…although he isn’t actually crawling…he’s scooting on his butt, but he gets around!

Sawyer, we can only imagine what God has gifted you in and the road that He has planned for you.  We love you!!

Blessings to you,

Hard Work

by shara.anderson on May 17, 2012

Living in the Upper Midwest it is sometimes necessary, in May, to go find your brothers hat…

and then head outside…

to help plant seeds in the garden.

Make sure NOT to clean up so everyone knows how hard you’ve been working.

Blessings to your family,

The Best Mother’s Day Present

May 15, 2012

I loved the hand drawn cards, the hugs and all the “Happy Mother’s Day” wishes.  I really appreciate the flowers the the kids’ Sunday School teachers had for the kids to give me…but the best gift of all was on this paper… and it was this in particular… “I know my mom loves me because [...]

Respecting Your Husband ~ Part 2

May 7, 2012

After my wonderful time doing the podcast on “Respecting Your Husband” with Becky I just kept thinking about all the things that we didn’t cover, and things that may be taken the wrong way.  However, I also know that the Holy Spirit will speak to His children as they are surrendered to Him and ask [...]

Respecting Your Husband ~ Podcast with Becky

May 1, 2012

What is respecting your husband?  Why do it and how?  What about if you just don’t agree with him?  These are the questions that I was able to ask Becky in our second podcast together.  Respecting your husband is not something easy to do, but it is foundational to bringing a sense of peace to [...]

180 Movie

April 25, 2012

Truth is exclusive.  I know that many today try to say otherwise, but just because we say something does not make it so. My heart cries out for those that have been hurt by the lies of Satan that abortion is a choice instead of what it is…murder.  I’m afraid that we have so many [...]

Taking A Walk

April 20, 2012

Sometimes it feels like it takes just as long to get the kids ready to go for a walk as it does to actually take the walk…but it’s always such a good thing when we get out together. It’s in the 50s today so Sawyer is ready to go with his bear hat. Addie trotting [...]

Ruffles

April 8, 2012

We have been working on making ruffley things around here.  Ella is “all-girl”,  and because of that, Addie is into girly things too.  Ella is very creative and is into making and creating and I find that throughout the week I have to put some of that off just to accomplish everything else.  I decided [...]

Resurrection Rolls for Easter

April 3, 2012

Finding ways to celebrate Easter is always fun.  This activity is one thing that the kids really like doing, and for younger kids it can really make it real that Jesus is not in a tomb anymore. All you need is marshmallows, melted butter, a cinnamon sugar mix and a tube of crescent rolls. The [...]
