mean mommy...

I was cutting Carter's fingernails and he moved causing me to get a little to close... he ended up bleeding a little bit... I cuddled him... gave the boo-boo tons of kisses and put on his first band-aid... he was fine until I ran to get the camera and came back to him trying to get the band-aid off... I felt so bad but also had to laugh because you would have thought that band-aid was poison or something... he wanted nothing to do with it!... hence the picture...

P.S. I am not normally so mean... I promise!

Easter at our house...

this photo was taken on Friday when the Easter preparations began with me and Carter making "birds nest" for an after dinner treat...he had fun putting the eggs in each nest... and sneaking bites to eat too!...








this is a picture of Carter finding his Easter basket in the kitchen corner right before breakfast...

















Daisy didn't care for he basket much but she sure looks cute in her first Easter dress

















this is everyone at our house... Kevin's parents, my Mom and Dad and the Aunties and Auntie Tina's friend, Joanna... seems like a crowd but I call it cozy!







This last picture is of Carter eating a chocolate egg Grandma got for him... he made an absolute mess but loved it...isn't that what holidays are all about?

daddy lovin'

we are all giving Kevin extra love today because yesterday his employer let him go... this was quite a shock... well more for me than Kevin... he had felt like maybe this wasn't the job for him and they felt the same way I guess... this has been hard to swallow because Kevin is very confident and I still just don't get it and I am trying to just rest in God's arms and have him carry me through... found this today for Kev 1 Peter 5:6 "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time."... he seems to be very driven to get advice from professors, previous colleges and friends to see the appropriate way to go about this... I am just praying that God provides something close to home and something he enjoys... in the mean time we love having him home with us during the day!... especially Carter (really loving Daddy right now)

a hard week...

this picture pretty much describes our week... ear infections for both the kids... sleepless hours at night... a messy house... a cranky almost two year old... random appointments that are keeping me busy... but we survived and Kevin had Saturday off! Wo-hoo!
