Baby Ry likes clothes....
clean or dirty....
luckily these were clean...
she likes to carry miscellaneous panties and socks around the house
My table of goodies...
My table of goodies...very important things to me...
that green book is one of my most favorites, Anne of Green Gables.
Me and the kids are reading that one together...
I could read it over and over and over again....
Sleeping babes....
they love sleeping on the floor next to each other...
I've given up the idea of them even using their beds anymore...
its either the floor or the tramp these days....
These kids LOVE to cook...
and I'm loving them helping me....
I never used to like to have them help in the kitchen,
because I'm a "it will get done faster if I do it" kind of gal....
However, my thinking has changed drastically and I love these times we are sharing together.
I'm not gonna lie....its been a tough week. I have really had to look deep inside myself and trust in the Lord. I've done alot of crying and have said alot of "I'm sorry's"....I have doubted my abilites as a mother, homeschooler, wife. But I have also had some real tender moments with each of my kids. I have felt the love of them, my husband, and most importantly, my heavenly father. I have felt the presence of him and know that he has helped me and will continue to help me on this path.
Remember the little things....
they are some of the most important memories

Such a beautiful post, Anissa! I continue to find myself learning to enjoy the "little things" and realizing that time is passing by so quickly! Thank goodness for a loving Father in Heaven, who knows me and watches over me! Anne of Green Gables has been a favorite of mine lately too! I actually haven't finished the book yet, but have been watching the series on DVD,(Pete got it for me for my birthday). It is SO good! :D)
yay you! (for finding that peace *somewhat* you were looking for)
everything was trying you last week and i know that YOU know, it was satan putting those doubts in you. you are EXTREMELY strong and i know you can do whatever you put your mind to. i LOVE LOVE LOVE you!
(however.. walker was a very naughty stinker! heck, you almost put him on a bus to my house!!)
you still pulled the week off... so way to be #3!
i love this post. i am a "i can do it faster myself" kinda person too but i really should stop and let them help me while they are wanting too. thank you for reminding us of the simple things :)
