Sadness in the News
Today on my morning route to work I listened to the news. It was filled with much sadness.
In Missouri people are still waiting to be found, discovered and rescued. The rain is making it harder for everyone including the dogs to find bodies trapped under houses, in basements or cars. The hospital has closed completely due to floors being riped out, windows broken and damaged rooms.
In South Africa they are running out of land for graves. They are doing grave recycling which is basically burying people on top of people. Some people do not know what to do because due to their religious beliefs that is not allowed. Land is scarce because of the booming population and need for housing and farming. What would we do if that was our news story? How would we feel, how would we bury our loved ones?
I am so thankful for everything in this moment. My life. My health. My husband of two years. My beautiful baby girl. My job and my breakfast. My friends and my family. My home and all the memories that I have been blessed with. SO THANKFUL. That today I don't have to worry about picking up pieces of my home that have been scattered by a tornado or trying to reconcile the idea of recycling graves.
How are you thankful?

Announcements
Molly can now officially roll over both ways! Yay baby girl! She is rolling everywhere. The changing table, the bed, the crib, the church pew (yes that was a scary one) the church floor, the living room. IT is awesome. So proud of her!
We also got a baby bouncer this weekend and we have one happy little lady living with us. I will try to post the video here if you have not had a chance to see it on facebook!

Wednesday Night
Tonight was pure heaven....
Our little family of three enjoyed some relaxation time after work. We played, we watched molly snub her nose at rice cereal and we washed dishes, did laundry and sterilized bottles.
Allen had band reherasal and so it was determined to be a girls night in. Molly and I took a stroll around the neighborhood. We watched a streetful of kids ride their scooters and tricycles. We looked at all the beautiful flowers that are blooming this time of year. We felt the wind on our faces and looked at the sunlight streaming through the trees. I talked to her about the different houses, the ones I liked the ones I didn't. I talked to her about the Lord and how he makes life come out from the ground. I talked to her and made her laugh.
Then she fell asleep. It was the sweetest thing. ever.
We came home and Molly went to her crib. I LOVE the video monitor. Wonderful invention.
I cooked dinner for 1 and it was delecious. Baked talapia with lemon and dill. Salad. Wine.
It is 9pm and I guess I should go wake her...its bathtime!!

Tired with a capital T
Molly has to be teething. I am so tired. Too bad it's not Halloween, because I could totally pull of the zombie look.
Thank you to my mom who gave us a coffee pot this year for Christmas.
Thank you to Liz who listened to me complain this morning on the way to work.
Thank you to Jesus who has placed a love inside my heart that loves Molly more than I love sleep.
