(My) Lesson for Today

In the car today, Tristan announced to me,

"Mom, I want EVERYTHING I don't have. And I don't have LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of things."

I told him that #1, we can't always have everything we want, and #2, God wants us to be thankful for what He has already given us.

BIG GULP... Maybe this was a good lesson for Tristan's mommy, too!

Thank you, God, for teaching me through my children. :-)

Meet George

I'd like to introduce you to George... our "new" dog. George is a Corgi, and my parents got George when he was just a little puppy. They already had another Corgi named Gracie, so they named this little guy George (as in George & Gracie Burns). His official registered name is Smokin' George Burns II.

Fast forward to this week... my parents are moving, and don't have room for all of their dogs at their new place. We had been wanting to get a dog, and they offered to let us take George. After very little deliberation, we accepted.

George is the most gentle dog you'll ever meet. He just moved in with us yesterday, and the kids are delighted. George loves to follow me around the house, laying at my feet whenever I sit down somewhere. He slept on the floor beside my bed last night.

We are all very excited to finally have a dog. Welcome to the family, George!!!

Watermelon! Yum!!

Logan has always loved watermelon, but this is the first time I just gave him a chunk & let him go to town. He was in heaven! He ate another whole piece after this one!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Logan!!!
