Our Little Sponge [part 2]

Several months ago, I posted a video of AG answering some questions that we call Q & A Christianity.  This is a great way for her to internalize sound doctrine.

A couple of weeks ago, I recorded AG reciting all of the Q & As she has memorized so far.  At first she didn't understand each question an answer, but we are finding that she is starting to make connections and she even asks questions about what she is learning.  For example, tonight she asked, "Why do we have a soul as well as a body?" We love that she is starting to make connections and we can tell that she is gaining understanding.  It's so cool!

Our little sponge is learning so much!  Just check out this video...

Special Snapshots

I'm so proud that I have kept up with this little series.  Aren't you?!? 

So without further adieu ado...

 Yes, even though this was taken at a bittersweet moment in our lives, I love this picture.  I took this as we were packing to move to Texas.  *sigh*...We still miss Fort Smith (people and town) like crazy, but we are really starting to make a life for ourselves here.  There is so much to say, yet I haven't felt like going there.  I feel like Graham and I have grown so much...in many ways, but I just haven't had the words to express it all.  Maybe one day I'll spill what all we have really been up to for the past 5 months!  For now, check out those cute little tear-filled eyes. Adorable.

I just think this one is too cute.  Look at how her arms are positioned.  This always makes me SMILE!

Hey Everybody it's {Pool} Time!

This weekend, Na and Pops came down here to East Texas for a little visit. 

We took the girls for a swim at their hotel.  It was so much fun!  The pool was nice and warm and CLEAN!

 I love chubby babies in tight little swim suits!!!!!!!!!!

Another attempt at a family photo....

and another...sigh.

 My Ro Baby!

A good ole slimy, open-mouth kissie!

 AG and her daddy

What a great weekend--so relaxing.  We love having visitors.

Special Snapshots

It's been a good week.  The girls and I have been at my parents for a few days and we had a blast.  Let me just say...I. miss. TV.  I caught up on some shows while there and it was sort of nice.  Don't get me wrong, the extra time for reading, playing with the girls, cooking, etc. has been fun, but c'mon--it's been five months! That's five months of NOTHING, not even the basic stuff.  I did forget how much I hate the news, though...brings me too much [unneeded] anxiety.  I like living my happy, uninformed life!

Enough of the random--here are this week's pics.  Remember the rules--it's not about the quality of the picture, the pose, or even the smile.  It's just a picture that is special to me!

 Love the curls, those blue eyes, and that perfect profile

 I stop and stare at this photo every time it plays on my screensaver slideshow.

 We don't get family photos very often and when we do it's hard to get everyone to look at the camera and smile at the same time.  Thanks to a woman in our church, we have this one.  Even though Edy isn't quite looking at the camera, I love it anyway!

Picture speaks for itself, right?!!!!!!!!!
