Bits and Pieces


Outside my window...the sun is shining and the wind is blowing its cold 20 degree air around.

I am thinking... about Addison.  He is upstairs running around with his best friend playing rocket ships.  

I am thankful for...my husband.  I came home today to a very clean house that was VERY messy when I left this morning and 4 bouquets of flowers sprinkled throughout.

Noticing that...Samuel really loves to suck on his lower lip which makes him look very cute but is also giving him some chapped skin!

From Bible time...I am learning that God is bigger than my biggest challenge.  It's time to get over it and let it go completely to Him.  IT is not ME.  

From the kitchen...I created 2 new things yesterday (new for me) - doughnuts and tiramisu.  Both of which I will be making again!  Yum!!

I am creating...dresses for Eli - hopefully.  The material is bought, now just to have the time to attempt them!

I am going...no where-- and it is lovely!

I am reading...Just finished the 100 Cupboards trilogy.  Loved it!  Each book got better as it went.

I am hoping...to lose 5 lbs.  Okay, I really want  to lose much more than that, but let's start with 5!

I am praying...for His love as I parent.  For His grace.  I am wretched without it.  Fill me.  Every minute.

I am remembering...that seven years ago yesterday, my boyfriend and I took the Fung Wa from Boston's China Town to NYC's China Town for V-day.  Cold.  No kids.  Heck, no ring!  Chickens.  Empire State Building Closed.  Taxi.  Finger writing.  Van Morrison.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...
Reading with my boys - a thing we do a lot of!
