California Fun

Here are some of the highlights of our trip to California. We met Zachary, played tea party, went to a Noah's Ark animal exhibit, went swimming, met Wonder Woman,and saw Alex graduate. It was a fast and fun filled 2 weeks.

Babysitting 101

Well, Grandma didn't get fired as long as Grandpa is along to keep kids from getting into too much trouble. So this is the basic plan for babysitting. Take them to the park to wear them out. Then McDonald's for dinner, and another round of play. After baths, a video is perfect and then to bed. Could it be any easier? Not sure, but it was fun!

Whose Watching Brooke?

One morning Grandma took Brooke & Emma for a walk to the store. When we got home it was too nice to go inside so she watched the kids in the courtyard. Of course Brooke found the only water puddle and enjoyed herself. I think Grandma might get fired!

Another Devotion

I'm not sure why but I am really enjoying my morning devotions and decided to share with you.

When placed in the light of our awesome God, our lives find new perspective:
Anxiety is replaced by hope when we see that nothing could ever be bigger than God.
Fear looses its strength when we recognize that God's power and love are a million times greater than our weakness and failure. Alicia Britt Chole, Pure Joy
Perfect love casts our fear. 1John 4:18
Thanks for listening to what has touched me this week. Betty

Good News

This was my morning devotional a couple of days ago, and just thought it was worth sharing.

Based on our knowing God and His character we can say with confidence:
God has a plan for my future that is good and not evil.
God will never leave me or forsake me.
God loves me with an undying love.
God is faithful to forgive my sins.
God will keep his promises.
Kathy Troccoli
If we are faithless. He remains faithful;
He cannot deny himself. 2 Timothy 2:13

Not Too Much Fun

Last weekend we were in Denver with Sarah & Tim at the adoption training. Matt was watching Elise, so he and the kids joined us for dinner and a swim at the motel. Becca was sad when she realized that her whole family would be at the motel together, so she told us not to have too much fun.

Easter In Colorado

For all of you who live in sunnier places, or are even visiting warmer places, (like Texas, California, and Washington) this is what you missed this year. We had about 6" of snow this morning. It has stopped now, but is a very wet snow. We still wanted to take our annual picture with eggs so I tiptoed out and placed some plastic eggs in the snow. This is an Easter we will not forget.
