Just Kidding

“A two-year-old is kind of like having a blender, but you don’t have a top for it.”
~ Jerry Seinfeld

Motherhood is the king of all sports. This is why we wear workout clothes every day.

One kid says to another, “I’m really worried. My dad works all the time so we can have stuff we want and my mom spends all her time driving me places and cooking. I’m worried sick!”

The other kid says, “What have you got to worry about? Sounds to me like you’ve got it made!”

The first kid says, “What if they try to escape?”

Mom walked to the garage to talk to dad. “Tomorrow I am going to take Casey to the Zoo.” Without even looking up he replies, “Just be patient, if they want him, they will come get him.”

Being a parent is like folding a fitted sheet. No one really knows how.

Having one child makes you a parent. Having two children makes you a referee. Three or more? Now you are just a bouncer.

Sometimes I like to mess with my family and hide their stuff where they can’t find it. Like I put their shoes in the shoe closet, their jacket on a hanger and their keys on the key hook.

The Road to Remember

Pearl Harbor is a story full of heroes. Heroes who remind us of what it looks like to bring light to even the darkest tragedy. Heroes that walk a road with lessons about humanity that we should not forget.

Under Construction

“You put up with ugly and loud for a while because you’re committed to preserving something of great value.” ~ Shauna Niequist

A Basket Case

He had waited a long time for this. They had both needed rescue and now they had both found a home—in each other.

My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
