Nate the Great and his great adventures...
And we were off... 
Off the road that is! After our tearful goodbyes were said Thursday morning, we began our roadtrip east. I was driving just outside Dallas, when my tire decided it would go no further. It would've been nice to have had a heads-up! Needless to say, it was a pretty scary experience.
Waiting on the side of a major freeway with 3 little ones for a good while, driving to the nearest wal-mart after they have closed (Nate convinced them to fix our tire), downing a Carl's Jr. and driving 1 more hr. before stopping at the nearest hotel wasn't how I had imagined ending our 1st day of travel. I was emotionally and physically exhausted!
However, thank the Lord only He knows what the future holds because, much to our dismay (is an understatement), our precious Tito (for those who don't know we have a boxer) tried to jump from the bed of truck into our van. All would have been fine and worked accordingly, except the window to the van was not open (knew I shouldn't have washed the van before heading out!). Tito slammed into the van and fell to the ground wimpering! Nate and I rushed to his side and could not believe what had just happened. We found ourselved driving to the nearest vet. and also found ourselves paying for x-rays - cha-ching cha-ching!
Below are pictures I took of the kiddos in the vet's office. Mya was covering her nose the whole time due to the smell that comes along with a vets office in the country of Arkansas. Audrey, on the other hand, loved the time out of her car seat and just kept running back and forth... pretty craaaaaaaaaazy!
Oh yes, did I mention that all this took place in a little town called Hope - hahahahaha (and so I was laughing with tears in my eyes). Side note: Hope is the home of Huckabee and Clinton.
My hope is in Christ, but I have to admite this Caramel Frapp. from Starbucks certainly brought quite a bit of joy into my life those 2 days of horror. =)
The rest of the day went smoothly, thank the Lord! And we FINALLY made it to my dear friend Lissa's house. Thanks Lis for the delicious food, yummy dessert, and all love and comfort! You don't know how much you blessed us that evening! You are a true friend and I will always cherish your friendship!
Mya and Gracie
Heading out from Jason and Lissy's(haha-just had to say that-brings back memories)
Stopping for ice cream... Yummy! Daddy knows how to make a trip fun!
Despite some of the stress we have faced during this long move, we praise the Lord for His grace, love, protection and provision! Traveling with these little ones made the trip more difficult, but we wouldn't have traded them or the millions of diapers changed along the way for anything!!!
Picking flowers and playing with Tito... he has recoved from his bummed leg. =)
By the end of the 3rd day we were all pooped!
However, we were re-energized after dinner and some good rest.
This little one had us laughing that evening as she sucked on our lemons. She was just dancin' and lovin' those lemons!
Mya gave us some much needed laughs as well. After our adventurous first day of travel (the tears, the blowout, remember), we walk into our hotel, she turns to me and says, "I love our new home mama!" In her princess voice that is Mya's trademark tone.
And so we have arrived in Virginia, alive, well, and exploring our new surroundings!

IKE-ramba!
IKE-ramba! Is pretty much the word that came immediately to mind when it was forecasted that we would be feeling the effects of hurricane Ike. I sprung into action and rescheduled Mya's birthday party, pushing it up to thursday. Not something I was wanting to do with all we have on our overflowing plate of things to do for our very big move. Thanks to my WONDERFUL family and better-than-awesome friends, we were able to give Mya the princess party of her dreams. Thank you dear friends for making this possible!!!!
We have almost finished saying our goodbyes... the "packers" come tomorrow and we head out wed. or thurs. (depending on how the "loaders" do, timewise that is). Crazy! I can't believe it has come, I'm actually leaving S.A.... MOVING TO VIRGINIA! All I can say is "aye que ramba" (I think that is how you spell it??) All this change has evolved very quickly, but like those when in the eye of the storm, there is calm and I can honestly say, I feel peaceful. Don't get me wrong, there are stressful moments. However, as I sit here tonight (physically tired and a little emotionally drained), I feel His peace and I am confident we following His leading.
Praising God for all He has done for our family and for His presence in my life when it gets chaotic and it feels like the "storms of life" come our way.

Audrey
Audrey personality is hard to put into words... all I can say is we love her more than anything (except for our other kiddos)! She is determined, a little emotional =), funny (in her own quiet way), less verbal than our other daughter (she actually takes time to breath between her sentences) and is pretty adventerous. One thing is for sure, as I've said before, she LOVES Tito' and it is becoming obvious, by the way he follows her around, that he adores her. Here she is trying to convince him to follow her into the water. Eventually he did and they had a blast together!
Below, is a picture I took of her serious "will you sponsor this child" face. This is the face she gives daddy when he's about to punish her and it usually works. I'll glance over and see him holding her and telling her in a gentle voice, "no, no Audrey." with a smile. I'm not sure she feels the disapproval. =)It is a blessing to have such a loving daddy. 
Sometimes I get the feeling she knows the effect her cute little face has on us all. =)
Another love of Audrey's is food. She looks so cute when she eats. Yes, very messy, but very cute. She will eat anything, anywhere. Here she is enjoying her jelly. I had to convince her to eat the toast as well. 
Isn't she lovely? I guess I'm a little bias... Although she is our strong-willed one, she has an extremely sensitive spirit. Audrey means "Strong" Her middle name, Elizabeth means "Consecrated to God". I pray her spirit is always sensitive to the Spirit and that her strong will will be of great use to His purposes.Sunday, August 10, 2008

Time of change, time to play follow the Leader, time to smile
We are moving... sigh... sniff... smile...
I've experienced and continue to experience a variety of emotions throughout the day, everyday. However, I was reminded of a verse (thanks kristin! I could so relate to your blog!) in Proverbs 19,verse 21 to be exact Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.
I had a plan for my life. A plan to go to college and become a physical therapist. I thought 25, 27 yrs. would be a good age to get married and one thing was for sure, I determined to never marry a military man. I wanted to live in a cozy house with my four children in good ol' SA forever. But God had different plans for my life, better plans. Some have been more of a challenge than others.
I focused on my school during college. Keeping my grades up was important if I wanted to attend the PT program of my choice. I did everything in my power to give me the advantage I thought I would need to choose the program I wanted, to keep with my plan. My life was pretty routine, wake-up, work-out, green tea, classes, lunch (tuna&salad, chicken&salad, or whole wheat sandwich), work (PT clinic), dinner, homework, set my alarm for 6am, bedtime routine, zzzzz. It wasn't until my wonderful friend Amy lynn Elkins insisted that if I was going to see her I must go to "The Call" (our church singles group). I avoided it. But I found out she was serious and once again saw her stubborn side (I thank the Lord for that side, because it has been a blessing to me many a time)=) . So, I decided to go play softball and attend the evening bible study. Long story short, that is when God began to loosen my grip on "my plans" and decided it was time I cling to Him as He began to unfold His plan. The Call is where I met my husband, Nate. He was military at the time, AF. That's right, I married a military man. Shortly after we were married ( I was 22 yrs. old, a few years shy of my ideal 27 yrs.-haha), we realized we were pregnant with our 1stborn - Mya. We also decided that Nate would not re-enlist and we would become a part of the contracting world. As we waited, for longer than we had planned, for Nate's contract to start, God began to show me and teach me something He has had to teach me over and over again for the last 4 years - patience, trust in His perfect plan. It would take too long to write of all the situations He has used to teach me, but the most recent is our anticipated move to the East coast. In June, I gave birth to our 3rd child. I decided a adding to a puppy to the mix would be challenging, but worth it in the long run, even though I knew it would take the chaos up a notch or two. =) A couple days later, Nate received a job offer that he would later accept (once he knew he was accepted). End of July, is when they asked him to start working on Sept.29th. What?! was my response. So, here we are, hoping our house sells and doing are best to work out the details for a move that I know will be challenging with 3 little ones and a puppy. Do we attempt to drive or fly? Where do we live? Nate will be starting out in Sterling, VA, but will most likely work in Maryland after a "couple" months (note: "couple" could mean anything), which means we could be moving twice in a year. Not being settled and have familiar surroundings goes against every grain in my body. All this change... change of hormones, change in our family with two wonderful additions, change of living, change of weather for goodness sake ( I have no idea how to live where snow is a reality, not just words to a Christmas song!). It is during times like this that I rely and depend on what doesn't change. The One who created me and gave me all I have. The Bible tell us that "every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows"(James1:17) He has give me so many gifts, my children, my husband, and yes, this job for Nate that entails so much change! but one thing is sure, as the book of Hebrews declares "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews13:8) So even though, I will not live in S.A. 4-ever, as I had once planned, I will be okay. More than that, I, our family, will be GREAT because our heavenly father has a plan and is our constant.
You do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. James4:14
I've always admired and loved the story of Esther in the bible. Talk about a woman of strength! My favorite book is Esther a woman of Strength and Dignity by Charles Swindoll (read it if you get the chance!). Esther was snatched from her uncle and taken to a palace, a world very different from her own. I like how Chuck put it, "And so, we're off on another exciting unusual journey. the road will take several surprising twists and turns, but don't worry; we have not lost our way. We're simply following the Leader, who has a way of keeping us wondering at times where we are going and why it seems so confusing on this journey called life. But the good news is this: He knows what He is about. His way may not be as we expected, but it is the only way to go."
It has been almost a good 8 years since I read this book last and I feel it is time to read it again. The first chapter is God's Invisible Providence. Doesn't that say it all?
I determine to be like Esther, to smile at the future, even though there may be some times I feel like crying. I know God is changeless, His hand is in it all, and when I step back and take a good look from a different perspective of all the change. I realize, all-in-all, it is good change. Yes, it saddens me to leave my family and close friends, but this change is good and I have nothing to complain or fret about. I pray for God's strength, to be a woman of strength.
"Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely i will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you. Psalm 32:8
I am relying on God for the energy and strength this move will require. I pray for God's strength to be the helpmate and I am called to be to my husband. I release my grip on all that is familiar and get ready to embrace what lies ahead!

Slaeter Joshua Sullivan
Here are more pictures of Slaeter taken by a good friend (thanks kristin!). He was 3 weeks in these pictures and has put on quite a bit more weight. I will post more recent pictures in the days to come. I'm beginning to see that Slaeter is extremely social. He loves to be in the middle of all that goes on and soaks in all the conversation. In this way, he is much like Mya was when she was a baby. Here he is soaking in the one-on-one time with daddy.
Because he is so social, I am grateful for these little girlies. He will lay in his cradle, content to watch them dance and sing - free entertainment! I remember how difficult it was to get things done and entertain Mya, but there is no lack of excitement around our house these days and thankfully, he seems to enjoy it. Slaeter is "pretty chill", as Nate would say, and manages to take naps despite the noise and chaos. Some families operate well on a strict schedule, we don't. Two things are pretty routine around here, wake-up time and bedtime. Outside that, we just "go with the flow yo!" 
Slaeter Sullivan is a Bronco fan. He just doesn't quite know it yet. =) I determined to decorate it according to Nate's wishes (thanks for the tip Paige). I've had fun with the girl's room exceedingly and wanted Nate to experience the thrill of walking into a room decorated to his fancy. I admit, he's not into the whole decorating, HGTV, home improvement thing like me, but I dare say he gets a sparkle in his eye when showing off his son's room.
Sweet baby boy... Sleeping soundly... Soft and smooth... I love you SO Slaeter Sullivan. God keep you!
Slaeter - Skilled (spiritual meaning)
And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship. Exodus 31:3
Joshua - God is my Salvation/ Bringer of Truth
But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it... this one will be blesed in what he does. james 1:25
Sullivan - Deep Wisdom
The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, to turn aside from the snares of death. Prov. 13:14
My prayer is that Slaeter will use his skill, whatever gift God has given him, to serve the Lord and bring Truth to those searching, desperately in need of Truth. May wisdom keep him from losing his way, and lead him to follow "the way, the truth, an the life". I pray God uses him in a mighty way to serve His purposes.

Kid Comment
The Kid: Mya
Yesterday, we attended the wedding of a girl I used to play b-ball with in highschool (FEAST). It was a beautiful wedding, the decorations, the ceremony, and of course the the bride. Her dress seriously ranks as one of my "fave five". Mya loves to attend weddings. She loves all the preparation (choosing her dress, fixing of hair...) all the primping. She loves looking at the bride and never fails to tell me how the bride "looks like a princess" and I always completely agree. However, yesterday she went a little further and went on to say, "Mommy, I'm going to marry daddy." And after giving me a shy smile said, "I'm going to marry daddy and be a beautiful princess and daddy will be my prince!" I couldn't help but think back to the time when my mom reminded me how I used to say the same thing about my dad. Now, I'm at that point with my little girl. Although it seems my days are long and tiresome (with 3 little ones under 3 1/2 and a move in the making), I am reminded that I must cherish these days, for they will all too soon be gone. One day, should the Lord will, she may be a "princess" all dressed in white, ready to meet her "prince", but until that day we love and enjoy our time with her. Oh yes, and we pray for that prince. =)

Kid's comments
So, a friend of mine shares "quotes of the day" (thanks for thelaughs kristin) and I thought I would start recording some from the Sullivan household as well. Kid's say the funniest things and it seems by the end of the day I've forgotten those "memorable comments" (to put it nicely).
Here's my 1st kid comment, more like story. The kid: Mya The setting: We were all gathered in the living room watching a little Dora (and I wonder why Mya talks so loud??) . I wasn't really watching Dora, just hearing Dora's loud monotone voice yelling Spanglish. =) I was thinking my own thoughts when Mya says, "Mom, do you think Dora turns her head like me?" I looked at her with a puzzled expression, which caused her to ask her question again and demonstrate what she meant by simply turning her head to look over her shoulder. Still having no idea why she was asking me this, I decided not to pursue this conversation further (although I kinda wish I had now) and simply replied, "yes" . I mean, I guess Dora turns her head - right? Mya said nothing, verbally that is. She didn't have to. She gave me the largest smile that seemed to say, "wow! Cool! Dora turns her head like me." At that point, I just broke out laughing. So we have established the fact that Dora turns her head like Mya.
By the way, I do endorse Dora. My girls have taught me a spanish word or two. Thanks Dora. Also, Thanks Dora for the hearing loss. =)
Mya's other kid comment for the day: "Mom, can we get the email (referring to the mail)." Just goes to show how different her 3 year old world is from what mine was.

July update
July... wow! This month has gone by faster than lightning on a stormy summer night. =) Of course, our little Slaeter has kept us busy, but the life's hectic pace went up a notch when we picked up our boxer (about a week after Sla was born)and another when a couple job interviews were scheduled a couple days later. But more on that later...
Both Slaeter and Tito are growing like weeds. Tito discovered his strength, or rather his ability to jump out of the pen Nate built. Nate has solved the problem and has kept his promise by continually taking care of our cute little puppy's needs. Thanks hon!
Slaeter has discovered how to smile. It is so adorable and fills my heart with so much love I think it'll burst. Seriously though, don't kids have a way of bringing out emotions you never new existed? This little man has won over my heart! I love having a son!
Mya now can say "no tocas nada" (translation "don't touch anything" in Espanol. It makes me laugh to think this is the first sentence we've taught her. Can you tell what we are working on... she's a hands on girl. I'm already thinking of fun schooling ideas for preschool.
Audrey has also begun to speak a little spanish as well. Sandy made the comment the other day that spanish seems to come more naturally to her than english. While she struggles to say her english words clearly, her spanish seems about as easy for her as dancing (she definitely has the latin hip movement going on when she dances).
Not too much update on me... just holdin' down the fort. =) Now that I have begun to leave my domain, my place of rest (ha!) and have tried going out with all 3 little ones, I definitely notice the stares and comments. It really makes me laugh. The comments are never rude. Just the typical, "3 ?! Are they all yours?? You look too young! Did you start having them at 12? Good luck?! Oh honey, you have your hands full!" I finally asked one lady who kept saying I was "too young" how old she thought I was and her reply "17? 18." I think it was because I had on very little make-up, who knows?? I'm sure I will look my age sooner than later due to lack of sleep and endless housework. =) I'm relying on my beauty products. ;)
Nate has had an exciting job opportunity arise, which we are both very excited about. I became more excited when I was told there is a potterybarn outlet in the D.C. area - yes! =) Yeah that's right, D.C. it is looking like we will most likely be in D.C. in 3-6months. Pretty crazy! We are praying for God's will and trusting Him to close or open doors. Nate was flown up to D.C. this past week for a couple interviews and passed. I feel totally at peace and know God is in control. I am so proud of Nate and all the work he does to provide for our family. He is my best friend and I would follow him to the ends of the earth (as long as there is a pottery barn - just kidding!) We both thank the Lord for this wonderful job opportunity, because He is the giver of all good things.
Well, this is lot of writing and probably not very good writing due to distractions. Just wanted to give a little update of some of the little and big moments that have occurred thus far during the month of July. More to come...

Meet Tito
Say Hola to our cute Tito, the newest member to our rapidly growing family. I promise you, Nate and I do own a T.V. =) However, we love our children and we love dogs. So, when some wonderful and very generous friends of ours practically gave us a boxer, we couldn't pass it up. Nate grew up with Boxers and I, Labs. We both knew we would want a dog, a big dog, one day... that day just came a little sooner than we had planned and almost to the day our baby boy arrived. I admit, I would have been completely overwhelmed had my dear, sweet, mom-in-law not been here to help me with both baby and boxer. She knew just what to do with our little dog. Thanks a bunch Patty!!! 
Isn't he cute? I would have had to had a heart of stone to refuse my man this puppy.
Playing with Tito's sibling. Mya is a little more cautious of our Tito and I think he can sense that. He'll run after her, thinking it's a game. Sometimes it is and sometimes Mya doesn't think it's so fun. Audrey, on the otherhand, loves our precious tito to death. Literally, if we didn't stop her from smothering him. He is actually a little cautious of her. She has sen't him the signal and let him know who's dominant-for now at least.
Giving Tito a kissy kiss. Note how Audrey gives kisses and please note that I'm not an advocate of children giving dogs kisses. This was just one of those candid camera moments. =)
So, as we hit the 3 week point with our baby Slaeter, we have finally begun to have a schedule, get into our new groove as a family. Slaeter is now sleeping 6 hrs. at night - yes! We have figured out how to care for our dog and baby -whew! It has been fun to watch Audrey truly fall in love with her new puppy and mommy him. She loves her new bro, but I dare say I think she is a little more in love with Tito at the moment. Mya prefers her "baby broder". She loves to hold, snuggle, comfort, mommy him, and help me by getting the diapers and wipes. She definitely prefers the baby to the puppy hands down.
Life is good. Life can be a little crazy, but we haven't gone crazy yet. This is because we have had lots of help and love. Thank you mom, dad, sisters (you are truly my best friends), Patty, Amy (I couldn't ask for better ), and all my dear friends that have blessed me like family! I wouldn't be sane right now if it weren't for you all!!!!

Sweet Summer
Summer is here! These pictures were taken pre-Slaeter. Audrey loves the sun, water, the great outdoors and could spend hours outside. Mya isn't so big on the sun, but with a personality as big as hers, she is our "little Miss sunshine." 
I love these girlies so much! I know I say this often, but these girls bring so much joy into our lives. They produce their own ray of sunshine that can chase the darkest clouds away. Thanks heaven for little girls...
They are so excited to welcome Slaeter into the family. Although it has been an adjustment, especially for our little Audrey, they love him to pieces. Notice Audrey all smiles in the background.
More pictures of Slaeter to come and of our other new addition, Tito' ... - sigh... yes we are quite busy around here.

Meet Slaeter
Slaeter Joshua Sullivan
Born June 16th at 5:30p.m.
8 Pounds 3 Ounces. 19 inches.
We feel overwhelmed with love and gratefulness for the safe arrival of our baby boy.
Yay! He is here!
Mya was a little unsure of her new baby brother the 1st time she met him. I think it was a little scary for her to see her mom with needles in her arm and holding a new baby. However, the girls came to visit the day after and were so excited to hold Slaeter. Mya now considers herself his 2nd mommy and loves to hold and baby him. He is receiving lots of love.
These are the 1st of many pictures to come... free time is very limited right now =) , more later.
Thanks for all the prayers, love, and gifts! We are so grateful for all expressions of love from our friends.

Preganancy update
So here is the update for the week. I went to my Dr. on tuesday and discovered I am dialated 3cm. - yay! I have never been that dialated before feeling the contractions begin. I am hoping the baby will come soon! We are soooo ready for him!
Yesterday, was pretty uncomfortable, but I blame myself. I walked for hours at the outlet mall tuesday and took care of my errands and house-cleaning wednesday. As a result, I felt the pain yesterday. That is not an abnormal amount of walking for the average pregnant woman, however, it seems to really bring on the PGP. But, it was worth it =) ... my finds at the outlet mall were great!
Come baby come!

A quiet moment with my Love
This week has been full... no surprise, since every week usually is. With Nate's cousin in town, we have about town more than usual - shopping and eating. I'm not sure if I will be able to hold off those extra pounds before the baby comes.
Before the baby comes... I have been trying to get quite a bit done here (around the house) and there (baby things I have to get). I also realize that just as we are slowly exiting the itty-baby stage with Audrey, we are getting ready to enter into it again with our new little one. So, I try to take advantage of sleep and the little bit of extra time I have to do things I enjoy. I take pleasure in the simple things, as most mothers with lots of little kids do I suppose, like using the restroom as more than a restroom. Using it as a little reading nook (is this too detailed=)?). Before the kids awake, and all is quiet, I enjoy a proverb or psalm for the day. I have found that I have a difficult time getting all my "bible" in at time during the day and have decided to spread it out. I think that works better for me, because it keeps me focused on God throughout the day. Since, I have now been going to the dr. weekly, I try to take Charles Swindoll's book Daily Grind I with me to read while I wait. I love how he takes the Psalms and Proverbs and breaks them down. Today, while reading Proverbs 4 I was reminded of the importance of wisdom. I was also, reminded by D.G.I how david was able to maintain wisdom during some of the most difficult times in his life. I could go on and on... but I have decided to just give you Proverbs 4, so that you may glean from it what you will.
Hear, my children, the instruction of a father, and give attention to know understanding; For I give you good doctrine:
Do not forsake my law. When I was my father's son, Tender and the only one in the sight of my mother, he also taught me, and said to me: "Let you heart retain my words; keeep my commands, and live. Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; Love her, and she will preserve you; love her and she will keep you.
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. Exalt her, and she will promote you; she will bring you honor, when you embrace her. She will place on your head an ornament of grace; a crown of glory she will deliver to you." Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, and the years of your life will be many. I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hindered. And when you run, you will not stumble. Take firm hold of intruction, do not let go; keep her for she is your life.
Liz: So do ya think getting wisdom and understanding is important? =) I think the point has been made that I, that we all, must pursue it with all we have. But why? So many reasons, but I have found that vs.14 (where we left off) gives us one. David, was able to maintain wisdom while fleeing from King Saul. He was able to maintain perspective and act in a godly manner because of wisdom. What seems like a simple concept, but difficult to maintain when going through trying and tumultuous times. Swindoll, dives into Ps. 26:1-12, which I don't have time to at the moment and will later examine the proverbs of solomon. Take some time to do that, maybe I will next posting. For now, enough of me, and back to Proverbs.
Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of evil. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn away from it and pass on. For they do not sleep unless they have done evil; and their sleep is taken away unless they make someone fall. For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.
The way of the wicked is like darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble.
My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.
Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life. Put away from you a deceitful mouth, and put perverse lips far from you. Let your eyes look straight ahead, and you eyelids look right before you. Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established. Do not turn to the right or the left; remove your foot from evil.
Proverbs 4:1-27
Liz: I love the verse on "keep your heart with all diligence..." The emphasis put on keeping our heart "with ALL diligence" implies to me, that it is not something that comes naturally. We must strive for wisdom and understanding. We must work at keeping our heart.
Before the baby comes... I have been trying to get quite a bit done here (around the house) and there (baby things I have to get).

Home sweet home
So, april and May (especially may) have been crazy busy months! I haven't captured to many moments of our time out at parties, gatherings... but I have captured a few fun moments at home with my girlies. These girls are so much fun to be around, even though they can leave me soooooo tired at the end of my day. =)
"Twinkies!" Sporting matching outfits and having fun at home before heading out for the day.
Sweet times... literally. On the way back from San Angelo, we stopped in fredericksburg for burgers and ice cream. The girls shared a cone and so did Nate and I. It has been extremely hot, so we've been downing the ice cream around here.
A little Flower Power? Mya has been wanting a garden so badly. I think it's because all princesses seem to have their own beautiful garden and she's "princess Mya". However, because we are on a budget and have just FINALLY put grass in the backyard, we compromised and bought flowers for 2 pots in the front yard. She had a blast planting them and caring for them. They are annuals and are slowly dying, partly because we haven't been watering them as much as we should - oops!
Mya has also enjoyed riding her bike in the evenings. Nate takes her out for a little bit a couple nights a week, so she can ride her bike up and down the block. She is so thankful for this time, but I think she will appreciate it quite a bit more when she realizes all her daddy had on his plate during this time (school, work, 1 very pregnant wife, and another little girl in need of love...outside work).
Sometimes Audrey and I will join them outside. This particular night, Audrey decided she wanted to try walking backwards. I was surprised at how well she did.
Backyard fun! Yes, those are weeds and bricks of all sorts... half our yard is grass, the other is waiting for the man of the house to turn it into a play area. Nate plans to section off a portion for a swing set and another for a porch/patio.
Audrey loves to be funny in her own way. This picture of her in daddy's work shoes cracks us up. She often walks up to us quietly with something funny on and/or with a funny face. I just happened to capture this moment.
Here is another funny moment, although it wasn't intended to bring on a laugh. I caught Mya smiling at herself in the mirror, adoring her outfit one day before heading out. She loves getting all dolled up - 100% girl!
So there are a few moments from the past 2 months of times we spent at home. Home sweet home.. aaaaaah... with another little one the way, I'm sure we will be spending more time at home.

Thanks Nate, for working so hard and providing your girls (includes me) emotional and physical needs. I admire you soooo much! You have taken on the responsibility of providing for our rapidly growing family without a flinch. I have always admired your maturity. The maturity that helped you decide, on your own, to join the military to help pay for your school. Most 18 yr. olds, myself included, weren't thinking that far ahead. I love your fun-loving, quiet spirit. It keeps life fun and lighthearted. I am proud to be your wife and have enjoyed being there to witness all you have accomplished these past 4 years.
Love and kisses, Elizabeth
