fun in the sun

It is hot here. We are just cookin'. So the kids and I had a little fun with some water yesterday. It was Grace's first time in the pool and she loved it. she was tougher than Elijah. I had to get the pool to convince him it would be fun. But once he got started Grace and I both where kicked out of the pool...he took up the whole thing, as he flung himself around and splashed nonstop.
These pictures were actually taken before Elijah woke up from his nap and Grace and I were relaxing in the sun...Then our beloved "Cookie Monster" came out and played hard!
anyways life is good and the sun is shining. What more could I want!?!

Cool do!

Would you quite your screaming, kid! :) Lots of love coming my way when with picture was taken...Not so much. People tell me I have to figure out how to channel all his energy...I say, "channel what?" Oh well...lots of love in our house, sometimes it just looks like this!

Speak...

God do you hear me when I talk to you? Universal question.
I'm realizing that I'm either talking too much or not enough with God. Either way there is no communication going on. I know that when I don't communicate with Jon there are problems in our marriage. Why is it so hard to remember that with God? Jon and I are faced with some important decisions in the future and we are first of all trying to remember to include God. Secondly we are trying to decern his voice from ours and others.
I'm no expert, so I don't have anything profound to say about it all. I'm just trying.
Lord speak, your servant is listening.
