A Favorite Website

One of my favorite websites is Etermal Perspective Ministries under the direction of Randy Alcorn. I have been impacted by several of his books and also the material on their website. It is sure to challenge your perspective and world-view, if not change it. Check it out.... www.epm.org

Sweet Lil' Anna Kate

Joy & the ABCs

A new rendition of the ABCs....

A fly causes distraction...

Treasures

"If your treasures are on earth, each day you are moving away from them. If your treasures are in Heaven, each day you are moving toward them. He who spends his life moving away from his treasures has reason to despair. He who spends his life moving toward his treasures has reason to rejoice. " ~Randy Alcorn

Splashpad

We went to the park splashpad yesterday for playgroup and Joy enjoyed watching all the kids play. She, herself, didn't get too wet. As you can see from the pictures, she was content just to get her fingertips wet and then worked up enough courage to get a little water on her face. I think her favorite part was playing in the gravel (water + dirt/rocks=mud).




Anna Kate and I hung out on the bench. We weren't able to endure the sun too long. These sweet girls got their mamma's fair skin.


Awaiting Our Newest Family Member

This past weekend, the girls and I drove to Dallas to help celebrate Baby Taylor Street's upcoming arrival (that's my nephew for those of you who don't know). He's going to be here in a matter of weeks! Unbelievable! What a blessing he is. A month before his parents were to undergo fertility treatments...SURPRISE! His mommy looks like she's about to pop but has somehow only gained weight in the abdominal area....unlike me. JF & Em are going to be good parents and the mean streak in me makes me smile as I think about how their world is about to be turned upside down....but all for the better (of course). Little Taylor Baby, your Aunt Johnna can't wait to hold you. Joy & Anna Kate can't wait to shower you with kisses. And Uncle Bill will let you teach cousin Buster some new tricks. ;-)
