Happy Birthday Grandma Great!

Daddy's Grandmother had a birthday on Saturday, 1/24. We took a picture of her great grand kids for her card. They had fun making the signs, although Zach gave out and slept during the picture.

Happy Birthday Grandma Great! We love you!

The Good, the Bad & the Ugly

For this past week:

The Good

• Sissy asked God to come into her heart during her prayers -- twice. She is not quite there in understanding salvation, but we are busy talking and reading about it. Getting closer! I'm so excited!
• Sissy and JT's cousins came over to play on Monday, a holiday from school.
• Amilee's news about the miracle for her friend Caroline
• Daddy and I went out on a date night Friday.
• Nothing like pink-frosted sugar cookies and nerf guns on cold, indoor days -- see below

The Bad

• I'm still having frequent headaches, just about every day. :( Besides making me less productive, I usually end up grumpy or have the personality of a piece of paper.
• Sissy got the stomach bug and started throwing up yesterday. (better now) Not to be out done, Hook threw up and JT peed on the carpet. NO more bodily fluids please!
• The kitties chewed up the leather laces on my favorite black flats Friday night. Urrrrgh!(They should be glad I love them so.)

The Ugly

• While adjusting to stopping a specific medication, I look like I've hit puberty again with my face breaking out. Poo! Too bad the wrinkles and chicken neck give my real age away. LOL!

"Shoot!"

Sometimes the way JT says shoot, it sounds like another SH word.

Yummy!

(Pre-ralph)

MMMMM... "Ice" (what JT calls Icing)
Until next time...much love, Momma Wolg

Miracles Still Happen

My friend, Amilee, requested that we, her bible study group, along with many others I'm sure, pray for her friend Caroline. She had a brain tumor and was scheduled for surgery this past Wednesday. We heard from Amilee on Wednesday that when they did the pre-op check on Tuesday, there was no trace of a brain tumor. It was gone! Surgery cancelled.

Thanks for sharing with us Amilee.

MIRACLES STILL HAPPEN! GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!

Kitties

Double-jointed Cat?

Two-headed Cat?

Really Long Cat?

NOPE

Two Adorable Kittens

We LOVE our babies: "Hook" and "Peter".

And, I believe they love us too.
They have a special place in our hearts.

New Favorite Song - I Wish by *Point of Grace*

I heard this song and fell in love with it. My new favorite song. Take a minute to listen.
I haven't found it on playlist to add yet. 3boymom, maybe you can help me.

enjoy.

Blue Eyes

One of the things I love about my children are their blue eyes. Just like with Daddy, I can never get tired of looking into those blue eyes. It reminds what a miracle my kids are, how beautiful they are (inside and out), how deep my love is for them and how I want to be my best for them. I'm simply in awe of my children!

God gave me two of his children to love and nurture. (He even let me be "part of the recipe" so to speak.) They are such a blessing and an awesome responsibility. I wanted to share a thought I had yesterday between reading my bible, books and learning Sunday that our friends' (Miss Scarlet & Mister Green) daughter just accepted Jesus as her savior.

As humans, we are made of 3 parts: the physical, soul and spirit. No one is complete until you accept Jesus Christ as your savior, allowing you to be filled with the holy spirit and have a relationship directly with God. Unbelievers try to fill the void with other things, only to be disappointed. There's only 1 way to be complete, as we have learned as believers (and sometimes have to be reminded).

As a parent, I'm not just responsible for taking care of my children's physical needs, knowledge, growth, but I'm responsible for helping God to make them complete. I'm to plant the seed so that my children will be saved, having a relationship with their heavenly Father. I want this for all my loved ones. When I think of it, there's really nothing more important than leading them to Christ, which gives them victory in life and death. It puts a new sense of importance and urgency to teach and show them about being a Christian. I pray for guidance and wisdom to do just that. I can not wait for the day my children are saved; I'm sure I weep openly with joy.

Thank you God for giving me Sissy and JT. I want to make you proud. And, thank you for those who are helping me plant the everlasting seed.

Much love, Momma Wolg

The 9 in '09 Challenge

One of my goals for 2009 is to loose 9 pounds by the end of the year. I have lost 33 pounds and kept it off, but I have not lost the last 8 pounds to reach my final goal. Since I like the sound of "9 in '09" and I've gained a pound or two over the holidays, I'm going for 9 lbs.

Is there anyone that wants to take the "9 in '09 Challenge" with me? Let me know. We can encourage each other. I will eat less, walk more and still eat chocolate, including an occasional Frapp as a meal replacement.

If I had money to blow, I could then get a nick, tuck, lift. . . and, become a Hot Momma. But, since I don't and will be hitting a milestone age this year, I'll settle for a little less plump.
