Faith's "Goatee"

This is what happens when you leave your two year old on the potty and get distracted. She finds your mascara, thinks its lip gloss, and makes herself look like she is growing facial hair.

Saturday Mornings with Daddy

One of the many changes our family has adjusted to with Jeremy's new job is his absence when the girls wake up. He leaves very early most days. Since the girls are still little they really don't grasp the concept of the weekend. We find it so funny when they girls are so excited and surprised each Saturday morning to find Jeremy home when they wake up. One Saturday Faith excitedly told me, "Daddy in that bed!!!" when she discovered him still sleeping in our bed.

I love me a good family tradition. And Jeremy decided to start one of his own. Saturday morning breakfast with daddy. The girls love it. He makes a big yummy breakfast to start our day. We have mostly had waffles, but this week he expanded his menu and made ham, egg, & cheese biscuits. The girls are starting to anticipate this weekly meal. I love this video of Faith helping daddy cook. So if you are ever in our neighborhood and hungry on a Saturday morning stop by the Humiston Restaurant the food is quite yummy. (but we will probably be eating in our pjs)

Happy Anniversary

May 8th was Jeremy and I's 6th anniversary. Its hard to believe its been six years already. But, we do have three kids so I guess we are getting old... We didn't celebrate that weekend because it was Mother's day and Jeremy had planned a big surprise for me the following weekend. (Yes, I put the two days of the year you get pampered on in the same weekend-Guess I wasn't thinking someday I'd be a mom when I choose my wedding date...)

Warning- If you get annoyed by someone gushing about how wonderful their husband is you might want to skip this post.

So, anyway Jeremy has been planning a surprise for me for weeks. I was very curious. He has figured out that I associate planning and forethought with pure love. So I have enjoyed every moment of anticipating this surprise. While I am a good guesser he really surprised me this time. On Saturday my mom, sister Josie, and cousin's wife Kara headed to a local salon for a "spa day." It was lovely!!! We had fun chatting while being pampered. I had a manicure, pedicure, & a facial.

Then the girls went to spend the night at Gramy & Papa's house. Jeremy and I enjoyed ice cream cones, a walk in the park, dinner out with only one child, and a chic flick with popcorn. It was the perfect day girlfriend time, me time, time with my hubbie, and no cooking or cleaning!

I was also going to get my haircut, but really needed to get home to feed Titus so I went back Wednesday night. I also LOVE my new haircut. It was such a "fancy" haircut. She gave me a scalp massage, washed my hair (while the chair gave me a massage), cut, dried, styled, and actually made my hair look like the picture. Oh, and I got a free drink. This isn't the greatest picture... But you can see my big smile.

I feel so blessed to call Jeremy my husband. The last year has been a very difficult one in the life of our family. There have been moments when we were simply surviving and getting by. But God's faithfulness and our commitment have carried us through to more joy filled days.

Jeremy, I love you more each day. God has shown me this past year the balance we bring to each others lives, how our strengths compliment each others weaknesses, and how to cling to God and each other when the storms rage. I look forward to seeing what God has in store for us... Happy Anniversary!
