The Green House

Yesterday Addie was busy doing all kinds of art projects, and as I was cleaning up some of the mess, I found these notes. I thought they were so sweet and wanted to share them. I hope Allen looks at the blog today!! :)

Is this a backyard Bible club? It just might be by the end of the summer! We have been praying for several of our neighbors and sharing The Gospel whenever we are given an opportunity. This late night marshmallow roast, was one of those times. Allen played his guitar, and he even had a request for, Sweet Home Alabama! ;) This is my mission field, and I am praying for a fruitful summer. Allen was the only daddy there and because of that, he received much of the children's attention. They all wanted to make him a special S'mores ! You know he loves sweets, but this was an OVERLOAD even for him! Daddies are so important, and that was very obvious that night! It is not always easy making your home in an apartment complex, but while we are here I want to be found faithful to share The Gospel with all who will listen. It only takes a spark to get a fire going, right...? Pray for us to be ablaze with His Glory as we go into our backyard this summer, and tell others of Jesus and Hi...

Audrey can swing all by herself! We are very proud of her and she loves that she doesn't need any help! If you ever want to spend time with our family, come to the Chickamauga Battlefield! We picnic there at least three times a week! She loves to jump on our neighbors trampoline!

Addie with her toilet paper wrapped money gifts! Eating Aunt Jenny's coleslaw Aaron dressed Audrey This is a very hard season of life right now, Audrey Nella is a very, whinny two year old( I think she cries every time I talk to her ). Aaron wants to be with Allen all the time and cries when he leaves for work, and Addie is just up and down emotionally lately, BUT...I am so thankful that I have not missed any of these crazy days, or any of these great moments: Addie wrapped up some of her money in toilet paper and tape, and gave it to me for my early birthday gift. She told me that she had been loving all that money she had saved at Grammy's. She said that she knew that money was not bad, but that loving it was a sin! Aaron told me he loves when I listen to him with my eyes! Audrey Nella gives the best hugs and pats your back when you pick her up! I love these gifts form God! This parenting stuff is not for the faint of heart, it is long hard days of consistently pointing th...

The Cross cake I took to our friends house the other night was not quite as pretty as this one Allen iced for me today... :) This morning while at Easter in the Park, a little girl from our church walked by and spotted Aaron. As she came up to the blanket, she said, " Hi do you remember me ?" Aaron smiled and said, " of course I do Liberty " She walked off and came back moments later bringing a gift to Aaron, I mean, she laid it at his feet with this look in her eye, of total adornment! It was a package of apple dippers from McDonald's, she smiled, he smiled, then she walked off. Coming back a second time she asked to talk with us for a minute, I said sure, and then it happened... She looked up at me and said, with her hand on her heart (now imagine these words in a cute little country voice) " he is my love, and one day I will marry him " .... I said, "well let me get your picture, since you're going to be part of my family." Aaron was ...
