God is Big Enough

We were in Hobart this weekend and were visiting my childhood church! Being there brought back so great memories! That is where I was baptized and married! This was the first time Lane has been to church there, and he did so well! My baby is growing up and before long he will be sitting with friends instead of me!

So anyways on to the sermon! God is Big Enough!! I needed to hear that! I have been feeling a little empty lately(in my relationship with Christ) and I have been carrying stress. I know that the Lord is there to carry me when I can't walk, and all I have to do is ask. But being a Mom, I seem to take it all on and just keep it all inside! Today's sermon was exactly what I needed to hear. No matter the problem God is big enough to handle it all. When you feel like the world is crashing down, just look to the Lord and he is there to pick it all up! With all that we have been through to get in our journey to have Lane, I knew this and put it all in the Lords hands! But for some reason lately I haven't done that!

So if you hear me whining or crying about something, just remind me of this!! God is Big Enough, so let him carry me through the rough water. For he is never leaving me and is always holding my hand.

Conversations with a 2 year old

So Lane and I are in the car lot during the week and during that time we have some great conversations!! However the best one is the one we had yesterday on the way to the Zoo..

Lane: "Mommy, where is Daddy?"
Me: "Daddy had to go to work, so he isn't coming to the Zoo with us"
LT: "I have to go to work too"
Me: "Really! Where do you work?"
LT: "Mommy, I work on computers(pronounced Compooters)"
Me: "Oh, and do you make a lot of money working on computers"
LT: "Yes I make LOTS of money mommy"

I just about died laughing! It's a little sad that he knows what money is!!

Most of the time our conversations are silly, but this time he sounded like a big boy. I had to turn around and make sure that I had the right kid in the backseat. It got me to thinking about how fast the past 2 years has gone, I mean in 2 years he will be starting Pre-K. I can only imagine what our conversations will be like them!! Before to long it will be girls and sports, oh man!! Can't he stay 2 forever! It's a fun age!

I'm Really Mad

I do realize that I skipped days in my picture deal!! Oppss!!! Things kinda of got crazy around here plus I was gone last Wed thru Friday! So I did have the best of intentions but they didn't develop into anything! Oh well!!


Now onto the title of this blog, I'm Really Mad!! Guess who says this and uses it in the right context?!? If you guessed JJ, WRONG but if you guessed Lane you would be right!!

Lane left Mommy and Daddy at home last Sunday to spend spring break with Nonna and Pops(I went down Wed night to spend some time with my family). Well he wasn't eating dinner and Nonna looked at him and said "Lane, you are making me really mad right now" Lane casually looked at her and said "I am really mad too" When I heard this story I thought he was just repeating, which he does a lot of! Not the case this time. When I walked through the door Wed night Lane was super excited to see me, the kid wouldn't leave my side(kinda of made me feel loved). Thursday morning we got up and were getting ready for the day. Lane wanted a popsicle for breakfast and I told him no(yes mean mommy) and he just looked at me and said "I am really mad right now Mommy" My jaw hit the floor that my two year old little boy said this and also said it at the right time. I just walked away.

Well today is Monday and he got into my Stamping Up ink pads (Lane is pink and purple right now). So being the mean Mommy( I really should win the award this year) I told him no Barney for the rest of the day and possibly for the rest of the week. At the time it didn't faze him. Well after Cassie and Ian were picked up, Lane asked if he could watch Barney, I said no and turned to walk away! Lane sits down and says "Mommy I am really mad right now" To which I turned around and said "Lane I am really mad also, look at your arms and hands" He just looked at them and said "Yep, they are pink and purple" and walked off.

Day 9

Miss Jordyn!! She is such a beautiful little girl and sweet little soul! Jordyn had open heart surgery yesterday at 8 months old!! She had two holes in her heart that they needed to get fixed! She is doing good for the last report I got! So if you could please put her in your prayers that would be great
