this morning...

This morning I was grumpy. Even a call from Iraq didn't cheer me up...that's how you know it was a rough morning. I didn't realize why I was in a funk until I got to church and I realized it was Satan trying to distract me from things I was supposed to hear, see and do.

One thing that did start to make me smile a little though was this CJ. Dale, one of my mom's good friends, made this outfit for him before he was born. I wanted to take a picture to send her, and here are the best three. While I was taking them, I was getting more and more frustrated because CJ wouldn't sit still. Really? I was frustrated at a one year old for not sitting still? My 90-to-nothing one year old? That is when I started to realize something was wrong with me and the rest of the world was just fine.

I love that in this picture you can tell he is intent on going somewhere. I also love that you can see Noah's ark in the background from playing we had been doing earlier in the morning. We are busy around here!


And then I love how sweet this picture is. There aren't many moment my little one is this still, but he was intent on exploring his shoes. This is what started to melt my cranky heart.


And then this face really did it. I love it. So CJ. He is trying to eat the camera, or kiss it...I don't really know which because I didn't give him the chance to do either.

I don't think I could be a more blessed mama!
