Our Saturday was great.
1. Babies slept til 8.
2. I made Crescent Cheesecake for breakfast (it is ahhhh-mazing.)
3. Went to a baby shower.
4. Stu's family was in town for the afternoon.
5. Ate at Smokey Bones for lunch. :) Yum-o! (have you tried their pretzel sticks appetizer? it changed my life.)
6. Kate is walking better and better each day.
7. Spencer is thisclose. Standing by himself and ready to take a step, seriously, any day!
8. Started my new Beth Moore book. So far, I'm pretty sure she wrote it just for Jenny Borders. :)
9. After company left, all 4 of us took a 2 hour afternoon nap.
10. Ordered Papa John's pizza last night.
All in all, I'll say it again. Great day!
Saturday officially ended at midnight. After midnight was not quite as glorious as before midnight, but oh well. Can't have it all.
(Now, if my two sweeties could GET BETTER PLEASE and get rid of their gunky eyes, coughs, and runny noses that we had this morning so we could go back to church one day and get some sleep at night, that'd be the icing on the cake.)

Adopted for Life....and Death
A powerful article about adoption and the recent events in Haiti.
Stuart shared this this morning. It just resonated in my heart.
We can't wait to attend the Adopted for Life conference at the end of this month!
Read Al Mohler's (president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) article here.

Snow Buddies!!
Yes, please!
This makes me ready to go. Like, yesterday.
How To Do Disney's Magic Kingdom With Multiples
(If you didn't know, Stu and I went to Disney on our honeymoon and it was fabulous. We can't wait for the day we can take our little ones there to experience the happiest place on Earth!)
No, there is not a trip planned in our future. Though the next time we go to Orlando (which will be in several years) I will want to add a day trip to go to Universal for the Harry Potter themepark. If you are a HP fan and you haven't checked it out, go look at it! It looks awesome!!

Snowed In in 2010
Oh wait.
Not yet, anyway.
So the "Great Winter Storm, biggest snowfall in potentially 30 years" has yet to actually do anything here in BG. They've been talking about this snow all stinkin' week long, and while I've grown to a "I'll believe it when I see it" attitude about weather here, there is still something exciting about 5-7 inches, 6-10 inches (who knows) of snow. I've not seen snow like that since moving here 8.5 years ago.
So it started out as Thursday night, then moved to overnight, then definitely snowing by 6 am Friday. Schools around here were cancelling by 5 pm Thursday evening. And the picture above was taken at 2:30 pm Friday afternoon.
So a bit of a disappointment.
"They" are saying it's still coming. The storm is just...running late. Okay.
So I'm back to "I'll believe it when I see it." But we have tiny mittens and make-shift snowsuits ready when it does (and "they" say IT IS DEFINITELY COMING or something like that to make up for how wrong they've been already).
I don't know why I'm surprised. I live in a town where A DOG who lays on a couch during a 30 minute morning show was voted "Bowling Green's Best TV Personality." Over all the weathermen. No joke.
*P.S. I see some flurries. I think. It may be lint from my dryer floating around the outside of my window. We'll see.

Marital Bliss
Mr. and Mrs. Creason
The beautiful bride all ready to go - and her dress with pockets! So Sarah!!
Me and my little man hanging out before the ceremony
At the rehearsal dinner
This past weekend Stuart's youngest sister got married. It was such a blessing to celebrate with her and Trent, and so wonderful to watch these two people start their lives together. They are both walking with the Lord, and He has already done amazing things through their relationship. I am so excited to see what He will do through them as a married couple!
One thing that Stuart and I both agreed on before we got married is that we believed the purpose of marriage was so that the two people could do more for the Lord's Kingdom than they could apart. We believe that still to be true. And what a joy to see that in Sarah and Trent!
It was such a fun weekend filled with family and very little sleep, for Mommy, Daddy, and the babies. But they recovered well and quickly after a few quiet days at home. I thought they did great, even through Kate's talking during Stuart's prayer at the ceremony. She has always been fascinated with Trent, so perhaps, as she leaned over my shoulder and gabbed away, she was letting him know he had one more chance to pick her instead of Sarah. :)
