My real life as a mommy

Thursday, June 21, 2007

This is my favorite place to eat EVER! I worked here for 2 1/2 years. It is a salad/soup bar. It is amazing. So every time I come to Diana's I try to convince her to go with me. This time we were skeptical because of money issues. However, I said I would take care of lunch. So we went and the girl at the cash register new Diana from church and she told us that it was taken care of. When I am with Diana I always seem to see God bless us in such amazing ways by His ASTRONOMICAL GRACE! So anyways, we ate for free and Elyse had her first experience at Sweet Tomatoes. She enjoyed the icecream most of all!

Elyse's new friend

Elyse was very scared of Dominick at first. She cried. But then she warmed up to him and played with him quite a bit. Dominick you are going to love your daughter:)

Pregnant Women are BEAUTIFUL!

This is my friend Diana and we have been friends for 10 years. She is so precious to me and God used her and her husband Dominick to recognize my need for Christ 5 years ago this summer. Wow, I can't believe the journey we have been on together. But I am so thankful for this couple. They really love the Lord and desire to seek Him first above all. They have been married for 5 years and she is now expecting their first child. They are having a girl and she is due the day after Elyse was born. (Sept. 18) So Elyse and I are so excited about their baby girl. We sure did teach them a thing or two about the truth of having a baby, like rearranging your house for starters:) But we were so glad to share with them in their joy.

Diana and Dominick- I know your baby will be a huge blessing and God will provide and comfort you during all of your fears of becoming parents. You will both be great parents. We love you and will continue to pray for you both and your precious baby.

"Children are a heritage from the Lord, Children a REWARD from him." Psalm 127:3

Vacation to Orlando

We went on a trip to see my family and my precious friends Diana and Dominick Shaw.
We had a wonderful time! I don't travel too often with Elyse because of the main fact that my baby is incredibly mobile and does not like to be restrained. So a four hour car ride can get difficult if I can't attend to Elyse. So it went well for the most part. Elyse did cry for about an hour on the way home. It takes complete prayer in a loud voice and a couple of screams to make it through that time but we did it! Praise God!
