lessons learned and then learned again

I should of known…Rilyn did it once, even Ella has done it before.  I’m talking about putting them in a skirt with no bloomers on to take their nap.  I can see the ‘mom cringe’ now…so yes, Ella took her diaper off while she was supposed to be taking a nap.  Not only that, she peed all over her sheets and blankets and decided to take apart the diaper.  So when I finally walked in, (an hour after I put her down I started hearing noises), there was pieces of diaper cotton stuff all over the crib and the carpet where she was in the process of throwing each cotton piece out.  She even took out the diaper liner which was on the floor too.  geez.  When will I learn?

 On another note, we went to a neat water park today, Scott B. Mentzer pool in Pflugerville.  It was way fun!  Rilyn is starting to cop a ‘tude these days when she really wants something.  Here is her trying to tell me that she wants to go to the park now(!)  Oh goodness, the teenage girl attitude is already coming at age 3!

First comes marriage then comes a baby in a baby carriage….

So last night we read about Isaac marrying Rebekah in the Bible.   Rilyn had marrying on the mind after that and told daddy she was only marrying boys.  Okay that is good.  Daddy asked her, “How do you get married, Rilyn?”  She matter of factly stated that “you hold hands and then you hold a candle.”  uh okay…(she might of got that idea from watching our wedding video and seeing the unity candle)   Daddy then said, “What do you do after you get married?”  Rilyn said, (and you know I will be saying this at her wedding reception one day), “You dance and then you get your chores done in the kitchen.”  ;-)  

Then after nap today, when daddy went in her room to check on her, Rilyn was grunting.  “What are you doing Rilyn?”  “I am pushing a baby out.”  A little surprised, daddy asked, “Where does a baby come out of?”  She said, “I push it out of my bottom.”  hmmmm….

Ready, Set, Play!

So we went to this neat inflatable fun land today in Round Rock.  I highly recommend it.  Ella is a little daredevil as she goes on the big slide all by herself!

Sea World

Yesterday, my parents took our family to Sea World San Antonio.  We could of done without the crowds and the heat, but the girls did really well (especially considering no naps!)  They were awed at the beauty and size of Shamu and the acrobatics of the dolphins.  Rilyn went on her first rollar coaster and we discovered she has no fear as she put her arms up on all the rides!  It was a great day with family!  Thanks mom and dad.  Check out more of our photos on our August photo link.

Piper

Richard Halverson, the chaplain of the U.S. Senate, pointed out something that bothers a lot of people and excites a few. He said,

Jesus Christ said more about money than about any other single thing because, when it comes to a man's real nature, money is of first importance. Money is an exact index to a man's true character. All through Scripture there is an intimate correlation between the development of a man's character and how he handles his money.

That is a good paraphrase of Matthew 6:21 where Jesus says, "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." In other words, what your money goes after is a signal of what your heart goes after. And Jesus cares more than anything about what your heart is going after.

What our hands do with our money shows what our hearts are doing with God. Or to get right at the heart of the matter: what we do with our money shows what we believe God is doing with us. What money is to us shows what God is to us. Jesus said, "A man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions" (Luke 12:15). No, it consists in his relationship to God. "This is eternal life—true life —" Jesus said to his Father in heaven, "that they might know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent" (John 17:3). What we do with our money shows where we believe life—and joy and love and hope and security and meaning and freedom—is found.
