Happy First Decade!

Happy Birthday, Selah!!!


I am that parent that is in denial.  Denial because I don't know how I have a 10-year-old!   Selah is a great young lady but I am not ready for those tween and teenage years quite yet.   Thankfully she still likes her dolls and playing like a kid!   Even though last Sunday she came out wearing a dress, makeup (needed a lot of touch up, and my high heels (yes they pretty much fit her) claiming she was going to church that way.  


Dear Sweet Selah,
I love being your mom!  Even though we have had some disagreements lately and I'm sure more will come I am still your best and biggest fan in life!  I love watching you play basketball and run!  I love watching you play your ukelele and sing!  I know you are going to continue to surprise us with all your gifts and talents.  

I am excited about your party... and thank you for being understanding that we couldn't do it until later in October.    

As you turn ten and continue to get older remember to stay young, have fun, get silly!   Remember that God has really big plans for you!  Don't be shy to let others see Christ in you!  Love others the best way you can! 

Love you,
Mom

The Marriage Manual: 3 Secrets To A Happy And Lasting Marriage

Well, you have gone and done it! You’ve stood across from the love of your life and made your vows in front of your family, friends, and God. You’ve entered into the contract of marriage, but while it may be a solemn contract, that certainly doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be fun. It’s strange how many newlyweds expect life to undergo some kind of seismic shift upon tying the knot, assuming that their lives will not become a pattern of domestic drudgery with pleasure, intimacy and fun going out the window and that elusive spark between you fading away until you either can’t stand the sight of each other or are happy to tick over despite the grinding mutual resentment. Happily, the truth is that marriage is neither a ball and chain nor a grueling assault course. But like anything worth having, a marriage needs to be maintained.

My daughter got one of those Orbeez bead sets for Christmas.  I was so amazed at how those beads grew in the water.  It was so much fun!  :)  My daughter made her necklaces with the beads but we had a lot more m beads so we have been using them for some fun sensory play.     We put the beads in a dish and we got some glow sticks and put them in the container with the beads.  The beads looked really awesome.  :) My daughter loved it.  She played in the dark with the beads and glow sticks for a long time.  :)
