Elvis and his helper...

Here is Elvis's helper.  
This lens was fogged up on this pic...but I thought it gave it a vintage look.  I sorta like it. :)
She did most of the picture taking and filming while my hubby was out doing his campaign. 

She put in a whole day's work with her daddy. 

I gotta give it to her for going out into town with her daddy dressed up in some silly costume.  


Really....

I don't think I would have dared been seen with my dad like that. 

She enjoyed her one on one time with her daddy. 

Laughing,

chatting, 

eating lots of Jelly donuts,


and if they were still hungry....

dining at some fast food joint. 

She loved it!!

The previous day she really looked like a 60's girl.  I had her hair all teased up and ready to go!!




PS...
I feel like I need to continue to sharing some of the little blessings God has been bringing continually to me. 
This is how He is revealing Himself right now to show me....
His love, His closeness, His providence

Sunday: 
A friend, who is a single woman handed me $50. 

Monday:  
A woman from church who is a friend drove over to my house to give me a $100 gift card for groceries

Thursday (Last night):  
At my bible study....a friend came me puzzles for my little ones. 

Why is this so significant??
Well...
earlier in the afternoon as I am setting up my kids homeschooling schedule and activities for the little ones......

I "thought" not prayed.....
"I need to get some puzzles"

When I arrived at my friends house for bible study I saw puzzle sitting on her counter top.
The Lord spoke to my heart and said....
These are for you....
I argued with Him saying "I don't think so".....

So as I was about to walk out the door my friend says....
Oh Chris, these are for you.  

I had the biggest smile on my face and my heart seriously jumped with joy,
knowing that the Lord is indeed meeting my needs.  

Yay!

So cool! I love to hear things like that. God is amazing and I love Him so much.

BTW, I would have died with embarrassment if my dad dressed up like that. I think that says something about your girl;)

How's the weight loss going?

What Makes us Better Mothers? How do we View others?

What makes us better mothers? Do you homeschool or send your kids to school? Do you cloth diaper, use disposables or both? Do you breastfeed, bottle feed or both? Do you home birth, hospital birth or done both? Do you natural birth, use epidurals, or done both? Do you cook with whole foods or open up a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese? Do you home church or are a member of mega church? Do you wear a head covering, long skirts or have short hair and wear trendy clothes? Do you do attachment parenting or let your babies cry to sleep? Do you have 2 children or 20? Do you use birth control or not? Do you live on your own land/farm or do you live in a small apartment? Do you work or stay home with the kids? Do you immunize or never dare to inject your child? I am going to be very transparent and open with you all. I don't know if it's just hormones but what I have swimming in my heart and mind lately needs to come out. So this is the case for my posting this side of me. I know we can ...

My heart is sad...

Last night a local family in our small town lost 5 of their children to a house fire.  This was just down the road from where we are currently living.  My heart totally aches for this family.  I don't know much about them other than what I have heard from the new reports.  I am assuming she was a single mother because there was no mention of a father in the home.  I think it said she was staying with her mother (the children's grandmother) and her younger sister (the children's aunt--a 21 yr. old) My husband was driving home from work late last night when he saw police cars speeding by.  All he could do was pray not knowing there was a family being lost to a fire that very moment.   We didn't find out what happened until this morning.  From what I read was that they think the space heater caused the fire.  The home was an older wood-framed house probably without central heating.  The mothe...

A Very Quick Update on the Move

Hey All... Here's a quick update on what's been going on since my last post.  Well....we are moved in for the most part.  I still need to go back to the old house and clean, clean, clean.   Lots of cleaning... I wish I had the pictures to show you how much of a mess we all made while living there for 4 years.   Those pictures will have to wait for another post. I was also thinkin'... Boy how much STUFF do 10 people need.   I don't see myself as a clutter-bug...pack rat... I am always ridding my house of stuff.... Actually, to much stuff makes me hyper-ventilate.  I've been having a bit of moving anxiety lately.   I get these waves of panic.  Thank God they don't last long.   Oh...and please don't worry about me... I am not depressed or having panic attacks.  :) but you can pray though I think it's a mixture of the normal moving blues mixed with hormones of an almost 40 year old.   Gosh... c...
