Questions

This week is VBS at church. Sissy is participating for the first time at our church. (I hope to have some pictures for you by the end of the week.) It has been a challenging week...sometimes my little princess has a hard time with crowds of people and listening to Mommy, along with JT, Sissy and I being tired, and JT not wanting to take a nap after VBS although he's ready to pass out (fussy, fussy). I was feeling disheartened, but when I tucked Sissy into bed tonight, it made it worth it.

The reason we do VBS is to plant the seeds of salvation. Well, after we prayed tonight, Sissy started asking some questions about Jesus being in her heart and heaven. I had to smile and almost starting laughing. It was too cute. Here's a sampling:

"Is Jesus in my heart?"
"Will we take showers in heaven?"
"What do they have to drink there?"
"Will I be able to walk and talk around in heaven, like I do here?"
"Will I be able to swim in heaven?" (She can't swim here on earth yet.)


My beautiful little girl....who's God's child first. I reminded her today when she was very upset that God made her special and she needs to let that light shine. She calmed down after that.
Today's daily devotional: "My...peace I...bequeath to you." John 14:27 Peace -- It's your inheritance! Alrighty then....I will choose peace over anxiety.
Praying, Momma Wolg

Yee - Haw! Road Trip to West Texas

Daddy, JT and I went to Lubbock last week to pick up Sissy. We stayed a couple days with Grammy and Paw Paw, and Mimi came over from New Mexico to see us. We had a great time as always. The kids love to see their grandparents and there are so many other benefits -- Grammy's kitties, homemade ice cream and home cooking. And....


We enjoyed the West Texas weather. It is not as hot or humid in West Texas, and it actually cools off during the night. Wow! You either love or hate West Texas. Daddy and I were both raised there so it feels like home. Yes, you have the wind, dust storms and occasional tornado or hail storm to deal with. Here's some of the pictures...





Family Pic! JT wouldn't leave the table; he's discovered the portable DVD player. Great to see you Mimi!




3 Generations...Momma, Sissy and Mimi

Sissy at the park in L Town...It has jack rabbits, prairie dogs and fire ants... kind of a W TX Zoo. :)

JT on the stagecoach at the park...Yee-Haw!

More fun in the water at Grammy & Paw Paw's. It rains so seldom this time a year in Dallas, Sissy got an umbrella to play in the water; she got a towel when she got cold yet didn't want to get out of the water. Huh? Hey, she's six.


Grammy is such a good sport; she ran JT through the sprinkle in her clothes. Yard looks great Paw Paw!

Some "Firsts" and More Pics

The past few days have brought some "firsts" for our little ones. Sissy went home with Grammy on her first airplane ride. She did great on the plane! She's having a great time at Grammy and Paw Paw's, getting spoiled I'm sure. Sissy was so excited to see Grammy's kitties, Gracie, Clyde and Buddie. Well, Buddie is kind of Paw Paw's kitty. Ah! She was especially excited to see Buddie; they became good friends last summer when we were in Lubbock.

And, JT went pee pee in the potty chair by himself for the first time yesterday and today. What a big boy!! And, how exciting to think about no diapers in the near future. Yippee.......... I didn't get a picture, but included some of JT playing in the water. (He can't go to the pool while his eyes heal.)

Until later..... Momma Wolg

Window Seat for Sissy on her first plane ride!


Sissy "taking a nap" with Buddie.


JT's new stool....so many ways and places to use it Momma (red eyes from surgery...poor little fella)


JT playing in the sprinkle, or should I say sitting on the sprinkle...and don't miss that he has 2 swimsuits on, guess he thought that would be double the fun.


Fun! Thanks Daddy.... and BTW, I do feed the boy!

All Went Well

JT did great today. They did surgery on both of his eyes early (very early) this morning. (We left the house at 5:45am.) He has slept a lot today, but he's in a good mood. He forgets and rubs his eyes, which hurts, but otherwise it seems he is doing good.

Thank you all for your prayers. Please pray for his recovery to be speedy with no complications.

Love, Momma Wolg

Prayer Request for JT

JT -- my son with my hair gel

We love you little one!





Please pray for my little one this Wednesday, 7/16 (early morning). He will have surgery on his left eye. It is a fairly routine surgery to correct a wandering eye, called Strabismus Surgery. He has a problem when focusing at a distance; his eye wanders up and to the left. He then squints his eye to try to block out the image from that eye. No, he's not winking at everyone....although I like that reason better. Pray the surgery and recovery go well.



From Sissy: i love you jt. JT, hope you miss sissy. Sissy just going to see Paw Paw & Grammy.

Test Your Knowledge

I was talking with Jana at church a month or so ago and we talked about quoting lines from movies and TV shows. I didn't realize how much Daddy and I do it until after that....we use quotes ALL the time. Part of our humor I guess. :) We always laughing in our house. The kids probably think Daddy and I are certifiable since many times we get the joke or quote and they don't.

Periodically, I will put some quotes from movies and TV shows to test your knowledge. Let's see who can get these. I expect Jana to do well. I'll post the answers later. Have Fun! Momma Wolg
