Pyper's Photo Shoot !

We went to a beautiful park today to take Pyper's pictures for the summer. Whitney was great working with her in the heat, boy was it hut. Poor little Pyper's curls where all on the back of her head, I was sweating running after her but she had a great time ! I hope Whitney was able to get some good pics of Pyper. I love capturing moments of her life because she has grown up so fast and I miss holding her in my arms for a long period of time and soaking up that new baby smell.

I feel so fortunate that God has blessed me with a child when I have had friends and close family that have lost babies and you don't know what to say or how to show them that you hurt for them too.

One of the best books for me to have a glimpse into their pain is " I will Carry You" by Angie Smith. She carried her baby full term even though she knew she would not live but a few hours. She did a journal and noted all the things she wanted God to tell her little girl she wanted to do for her. My book is filled with tear stains for her and her family and knowing that people go through this and we aren't suppose to question God but it is so tempting to. Why we hurt , why some get the opportunity to be mothers and why some that never wanted children have them knowing someome could love that child more. We will all have our answers in the sweet by and by and I have to hold on to the knowledge that our pastor said at one baby's funeral, that he believed God will reveal those children to their parents when they are all there, I so hope that in Heaven they can live forever sharing in God's glory !

If it isn't one thing it is another !

Our summer has been going pretty smoothly , well until Sunday ! Pyper still goes to the baby sitter, hey gotta pay for her to be there or not so she should go , right :) I have been trying to get things done I didn't get to do last year due to Gallbladder removal and wisdom teeth removal and brand new baby. Developing pictures, hanging pictures and cleaning ! Ugh, which I hate why can't I have someone come in and do it , oh yeah that would consist of paying someone !

Well we were visiting down at Pembroke to enjoy Aiyana's 1st birthday and my hubby called to inform me our A/C had decided it was too hot outside for it so it decided to protest and quit :( Not the phone call I was expecting while watching Pyper enjoy herself in the pool. Through it all Steven decided to stay and wait for someone to come out and check it. Thank goodness by Monday morning we had A.C and Pyper and I were able to return. I am glad because she has a photo shoot tomorrow and I am very happy about that. I will post pics as soon as I can.

More to come..... Until then May God Bless you !

A Busy Life of Three

Wow, summer time will soon be over and I look back and wonder where did my time go. Pyper is being a very active toddler and Steven is busy, busy at work and with the Navy. Nick Jr. has became our favorite show and how many times can you take a diaper off a baby doll to see if its diaper is 'dirty ?'

Awh, we live a crazy life but active and very full of life. We treasure our moments with Pyper and stand in amazement the words she learns every day and the things she teaches us along the way !
