Day Eightythree - My Greatest Blessings

[JLC]

Hehehe...my eight year old is sitting at the computer next to me...he has headphones on...and is singing "Feel Like a Monster" (by Skillet) at the top of his voice. He's too cute! He was listening to it over the speakers earlier...but I think it must have weirded him out to see Mom boppin' along with the music. He kept giving me funny looks, and then plugged the headphones in.

I don't really have anything new to say tonight about the whole weight loss journey...things are going alone nicely.

So I thought I'd just brag on my kids a little bit instead....

Here's Nathaniel. He's eight...and the one singing Monsters tonight. LOL He's my go-go-go kid...always on the run and rarely sitting still for very long. I'm actually quite surprised at how long he's sat at the computer with me this evening just listening to music!


This is Austin. He just turned fifteen! He's my huggabear...always very affectionate and loving...always ready and willing to help out with anything that needs helping. Very sensitive and kind. And funny as heck sometimes, too!


And this is Petra. I simply can not accept the fact that this is her last year with us. She'll be moving to Texas this coming summer to go to school. Texas has no idea how blessed it is to be receiving such a beautiful young woman.








So there they are...my three amazing blessings!!! They inspire me to live a life they will want to emulate.

Thank you for sharing my blessing with me.

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord. The fruit of the womb is His reward.
- Psalm 127:3

LOL...feeding it a cracker. You can buy these special "giraffe crackers" and feed them by hand. Or mouth, as the case may be. So yeah...she got seriously kissed by a giraffe!
