week of pictures-4-

This is our Easter Picture from last year..or maybe from 2 years ago...(oh well. it's one of those years). I really like this picture because looks like luke said something funny.

Being bless by the little things

Today, God has once again struck my heart in aw. I would never thought that a powerful bible verse would come from one of my campers I had two years ago. You see, I been pen pals with this camper for awhile and until just recently we have been sending each other bible verses in each letter. I recieved this yesterday and it seemed as God was speaking directly to my heart. Unknown to her, just recently I have been very discouraged and depressed towards my infertility struggles. Just last week I was bawling my eyes out and telling my MIL that there is no hope for me in this department. All my prayers for five years are going no where.
So, as you can see. This verse totally caught me off guard. I defanilty was not expecting to hear a word from the Lord from an 12 year old. Who would have thought that God can use such a small picture with verse to be so powerful in ones life. This bible verse comes from Psalm 31:24.
P.S if that wasn't just awesome enough, she drew a Toucan. Ever since I was a little girl, my favorite animal was a Toucan. It just makes me want to Praise God in this storm!!!

This is one of my favorite pictures that I have. I laugh every time I see it. It a picture of my sister and her fiance. This was taken last year around the time of the Boston Marathon. :)

I found this one on my computer. It's Sophie looking out the window in Massachusetts.

Picture of the Week

So, I'm thinking I could post Pictures of the week. So, today I'm posting one of Luke reading. I posted it for two reason. One it is one of my favorites and two it is his birthday today. When luke isn't cooking/working/googling stuff he is reading a book. This is one of his traits that I admire. This is also a classic luke (in my option).

Snowed in!!

Hello my friends. If you didn't hear, we got snow! Lots of it too! School was canceled! Whoot hooo! Here are some things I got accomplish today:
I cleaned the house
Took sophie out in the snow
Catch up on emails
Shoveled snow

And I did this all by 2pm. :)

So now I'm planning on cuddle up with a good book and some hot chocolate/coffee! So, now that you know what I do during snow days. What do you like to do on snow days?

Pictures from 2009-Aug Watkins Glen

I thought I would share my some of my camping experiences with my blogger friends. If you never camped out at before, I highly recommend it. It is a great out door experience and plus you will get some bonding time with your buddies or in my case my hubby. So, Luke and I went to Watkins Glen with our "church" (it end up being Paster's family and us, but that is another story) family in Aug 2009.

We camp three days and two nights with our dog Sophie. Let me give you a little advise if you plan on bring your dog camping with you in a tent:
#1 Make sure your dog is familiar with your tent. It took us a little while to coax our dog into getting into the tent (poor Sophie). You can use many methods to do this. We like to use the flooding method. :D
#2 Make sure that they are not doing fireworks a night that you are there. Lucky for us, Sophie was so drained after we took her on all the trails that she fell right to sleep. Sophie didn't mind the fireworks too much. Me on other hand, it was hard to try and ignore the big boom above your tent (and those of you who want to know about how luke handle this..well..he slept right through it).
#3 I highly recommend that you buy your dog a dog backpack. Especially if the dog is hyperactive. This way you can load your dog up with water bottles to weigh him/her down.

Now with these bits of advise, I hope you can rest easily. Now, you can have a great camping experience with your dog.

In these pictures Luke is cooking breakfast. What's for breakfast you asked? Eggs and coffee. Turns out, he is a pretty good cook for cooking over the fire.
