Look who showed up on our front doorstep Sunday afternoon...

Gramma and Grampa! 

They drove all the way up from Ft. Lauderdale to surprise us with a short visit!

Oh the things they say and do

Before leaving for a doctor's appointment today, I told Anna and John Caden, "Do not disturb Daddy while he's in the office working---especially if he's on the phone."  Adhering to my instructions, Anna discreetly got the S.O.S. message she needed to get to Tim by sliding him a little note under the office door.

  

 

John Caden has a knack for speaking it like it is.  Often I will find him with a book, so I'll ask him, "What ya reading Buddy?"  To which he he will reply, "No, I'm not reading Mommy--I don't know how.  I'm just looking."

Another cute little John Cadenism that he says at various times: "I don't wonder why. I just do."



Mother's Day

  

 

 

 

 

… he gently leads those that have young…" Isaiah 40:11

"The Shepherd leads those with young not to be Hallmark versions of perfection, but rather persevering versions of humility. Motherhood does not require, thankfully, perfection. It simply requires commitment and humility. Grace stands in the gaps. It’s not that you aren’t going to blow it. It’s what you do with it afterwards.” (Ann Voskamp)
