What's on my mind today.....

Last evening Nathanial and I got into a stupid arguement that ruined our entire night. Mainly because I was refusing to "get over it" without him acknowledging that it wasn't ALL my fault. Anyway, I have realized this morning that I DO NOT want to waste our life together arguing over silly things that don't matter!! (Don't get me wrong, I have realized this before, and obviously it still happens!) But, this life goes by so fast and an entire Friday night was ruined for us. That makes me mad, that we let the enemy come into our life and steal from us like that! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH..... I'M GONNA FIGHT BACK!! So, to all my friends and family out there... if you hear me bickering over somthing small and insignificant, remind me of this post!!

On to more happy things!! What have we done over the past few days??? Well, Ava made me a "shoe snake" the other day. She used every single pair of shoes that she could find in our house... it was adorable, and she was so proud of her work!

The same day, finger painting involved her arms all the way up to her shoulders!!

Daddy playing with Aspen last night at GG's (great-grandma's).

Aspen and Nana the other night.
One thing I hope to do in the near future is post a blog with some of our pictures from our time in India. It's been over a year now since we've been home, and while I still can't say I miss India, I do miss the friends we made over there very much. There were so many Indian and foreigners that we really developed close friendships with... I wish it wasn't so far away. A trip back to visit would be so hard on me and the girls....Nathanial is all for it though. I would be if it weren't for having two little ones. One little one was okay, but I'm not sure about two!! I'll try to post some pics later. Have a great day everyone!

Hi Brandi!
I know that feeling too of ruining a nite... that is the pits! Your post gave away the goodness of your hearts intent though and reminded me of John 14:14 Ask whatever in my name, and I will do it! I think God will be happy to give us both more strength to "Open not our mouths," when times like this arise... which for me (when I open mine) usually gives to letting the enemy do his thing...

Always good to see pics of your beauties... Hope you're enjoying the rest of your summer!

Love,
Shannon

Brandi,
I would love to update, but nothing interesting ever really happens, so I never know what to write. Also I am kind of bad about getting personal on here. Scared of creepos stalking me. :) Cute pics by the way. Hope you and Nathanial are better!!
