The Little Things

Today I was at the gym and I heard this LOUD clank of the weights being dropped. Many people turned to look, turned away and said nothing. He was obviously hurting, grabbing his knee. I was finishing up my set and was about to walk over there and see if he was ok when a young man, (maybe 16?) did exactly that. As I saw him do that I thought to myself "his mom would be proud". It is just a little thing but lots of little things make up who we are and what we become.

Lord, I pray my boys will love people - all people. When our society pushes them to choose themselves over others, great things over small things, that they would choose YOUR way. I pray that each 'little thing' they do will show your glory to others. AMEN.

Wimberley

We went to Wimberley for a girls weekend to celebrate my Nana's 83rd birthday. My grandparents used to go to Wimberley years ago and swim at blue hole with freinds (bummer, it was closed due to renovation - my grandma was was really wanting to see it again after all these years!). We had a nice time relaxing, shopping and playing games.

This is the house we rented, loved it!

Birthday girl :)

This was a photo from Pioneer town, really neat old building that had been moved to one area. We got a tour from the one guy working it...it was interesting. Admitedly had I been on my own there would have been no tour guide and I would have missed a lot of history about this neat little area.

Feeding the horses....they were very friendly. They were out front at the ranch where we stayed ...so pretty!

What's happening

Blake's is consistently using the toilet - we are very pleased. He is by no means potty trained but we'll get there, slowly but surely. Truitt loves toads! I came outside and Braden was doing this, cracked me up. He told me he could see a lizard on our porch :)
