Let's Pray

I had a terrible migraine last night. Put Cannon to bed, turned off the lights and realized we did not pray. I felt soooo bad, I thought to myself it will be okay if I skip tonight, right? After about 10 minutes, Cannon reached over and grabbed my hand and said, "Mommy, let's pray to God".

Twice this weekend, I told Cannon he was going to get in trouble and he said, "Trouble like Jonah, Mommy??" I said, "Yep!"

Alicia said...: Is he learning his bible stories from school and from you? I think that is wonderful. I have been reading the bible to Ayden everyday.....he falls asleep most of the time. But I figure the more he sees me reading it the more he will one day too. Love you and hope to see you soon!; July 19, 2010 at 9:41 PM
Kimberly said...: yeah, he learns some at school and then sunday school.

but we started reading the bible early on too. i will admit, there was a period of time where he would say. "no read bible". but now he asks to ead about Jesus.

this summer i have started teaching him different stories and doing crafts to relate.

we have done jonah, the wall of jericho and this week the creation story.

he has a little bible that he got from our church at his dedication that he carries around. it is cute.; July 19, 2010 at 10:29 PM

welcome to our pea pod.

This blog is about our family, mostly our precious boys; Cannon and Sutton, but you will find it a window into our lives.

Brett and I met and fell in love over waiting tables at the Original Benjamin's Seafood Buffet in Myrtle Beach, SC. We dated for about 4 years and were married September 2003 at Litchfield Plantation. We lived in Savannah for five years and now reside in Summerville SC.

Our beautiful boys were born 2008 and 2010.

We are amazed everyday by the gifts that are our children. They are a reminder of God's unconditional love for us. Someone once told me that you cannot begin to understand God's love for you until you have a child and it is so true. God sent His Only Son to DIE for us. I am not sure we knew what kind of sacrifice that truly was until having children of our own.

We love the Lord and strive to live our lives in accordance with His will. We are not perfect. Yes, we fail daily but find ourselves back at the cross willing to try again.

Our firstborn son. He made me a Mommy, Brett a Daddy! He is beautiful...inside and out! He has a the most gorgeous blue eyes and dimple to match. This kid is going to break some hearts! He is our athlete. He loves anything with a ball. He already has a great baseball arm and can hit a golf ball over our fence! He is spirited and loving. He is a lover for sure! He loves to give hugs and kisses and to cuddle. He will just grab my face and give me a million kisses. He loves books and music and art! He knows more songs that I do. I joke he has music in his bones. I often hear him singing while playing alone. So cute. He has a great sense of humor already and he fills our days with laughter! Who knew having kids would provide endless entertainment. He is becoming an amazing big brother and already tells Sutton that he "loves him so much". He loves to drink chocolate milk. Loves eat pancakes, hummus, edamame, and peanut butter and jelly! He has a huge sweet tooth just like Daddy. He is already showing that he loves God and Jesus and even beginning to relate the things in God's word to our world. Amazing! He is fearless and cautious at the same time. He is often called a daredevil and is usually the first kid to jump, climb, and run.. with no regard to danger (He laughs in the face of danger!! Ha). But he is very cautious around new people. He is creative and imaginative and smart, loves to create and destroy, has more energy than you can imagine, loves to scream and laugh and RUN!!! Watch out, this kid will run away with your heart.
