Friday Freeze Frame

Friday Freeze Frame...is all about wanting to freeze time right now....

McRae snug in a sling...small enough to fit...

Baylen wanting to do Valentines just like his big brother and sister...

even though he really does not have any friends....

Samantha getting super excited about Valentines day

and just simple treasures like

heart shaped pancakes and a little box of goodies...

And cooking when Chef Bo

who is very excited about these cake pops we made

It has been a great week....I do realize more and more things are usually super crazy or super calm...never in between really...and it can change in a matter of a moment....
This week brought us Ash Wednesday, a time to reflect on what it is we want to try and change...and give something up that we really don't want to start back at Easter....that is exactly what I am doing this year...I am picking something along the lines of Fasting, Praying and Giving....with each of them that I hope to form a habit and continue on with...
Good thing each day is a new day
A fresh slate
To start a new
And by the way...
McRae is rocking in his swing right now...and peacful music is playing...and he is the most inocent sweetest thing I have ever seen...when I look back at picutres of the others at this age...I realize that pictures do not do justice...you can smell the baby smell...see the faces they make...or touch their super soft skin....
I love all the phases....but something about a two month old...starting to "come to Life" yet still be so tiny....is heartwarming on so many levels....

"Dear Children, let's not merely say that we love each other...but let us show the truth by our actions"
 1 John 3:18

"He heals the broken hearted and binds them up with his hands" Psalm 147:3

Goal 1: To show the ones around me how much they are loved...everyday...looking into their eyes when they talk..never being too busy to listen....an letting things go that can wait...and being present in each moment....every single second of each of them...good or bad :)
And to know that we all have cracks, the cracks are not the problem,,,its is how we handle the cracks...we are all broken...when we mess up it has nothing to do with our value...its just part of the journey....
