So sweet, I was putting Zachary to bed and I had him all tucked in, read his favorite story of Samson from the Bible, and then we're also reading this Toddler Bible.....we're in the story of Noah. So, after all that was read and he was ready for bed; I left his room.
I went looking for Sadie b/c at night I nurse her to sleep and that's that. Well, I am walking around and I go outside where I hear Les' voice on the phone and I go to grab her, but she's sound asleep! It was just too cute. I went to go get her burp cloth and came back for her. Of course, I stood there oohhhhing and awwwwing over it. :) I took her from his arms and tucked her into her bed.
She is finally sleeping 12 hours at night straight & what a great accomplishment.........YAY!!! Normally, she wakes up 1x to nurse and back into bed in about 25 - 30 minutes. I hope that this is a new trend b/c I'm LOVIN' it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fun Times w/ Friends!
We had such a good time tonight hanging out with Jeremy & Holly. We grilled burgers, had deviled eggs, and bourbon & brown sugar beans......YUMMY!
Since it was such a nice evening; I wanted us to all walk to the park and it was such a nice walk down to the park.
Here's a picture of Sadie & Sebastian playing with her picnic basket and the little food that goes along with it. It was really cute!

God's Embroidery
When I was a little boy, my mother used to embroider a great deal. I would sit at her knee and look up from the floor and ask what she was doing. She informed me that she was embroidering. I told her that it looked like a mess from where I was. As from the underside I watched her work within the boundaries of the little round hoop that she held in her hand, I complained to her that it sure looked messy from where I sat.
She would smile at me, look down and gently say, "My son, you go about your playing for a while, and when I am finished with my embroidering, I will put you on my knee and let you see it from my side."
I would wonder why she was using some dark threads along with the bright ones and why they seemed so jumbled from my view. A few minutes would pass and then I would hear Mother's voice say, "Son, come and sit on my knee." This I did only to be surprised and thrilled to see a beautiful flower or a sunset. I could not believe it, because from underneath it looked so messy. Then Mother would say to me, "My son, from underneath it did look messy and jumbled, but you did not realize that there was a pre-drawn plan on the top. It was a design. I was only following it. Now look at it from my side and you will see what I was doing."
Many times through the years I have looked up to my Heavenly Father and said, "Father, what are You doing?" He has answered, "I am embroidering your life. " I say, "But it looks like a mess to me. It seems so jumbled. The threads seem so dark. Why can't they all be bright?"
The Father seems to tell me, "'My child, you go about your business of doing My business, and one day I will bring you to Heaven and put you on My knee and you will see the plan from My side."

Beaver's Bend!
You're probably wondering what happened to me since I haven't blogged in 10 days! HAHAHA
We took a fun trip to Beaver's Bend last week for hiking, being with family, and just enjoying the outdoors. :) My parents came down for a few days and that was a lot of fun to have them there also. We took them up a trail to overlook the river below. I was so proud of my mom for making it up to the top and doing so well. We all got to the top and then it started thundering and raining just a little bit harder. We took several pictures (to come later!) and then started our way down. Sadie was sound asleep on Les' back and Zachary hiked most of it. My dad seemed a little hesitant about 1 incline, but we continued on and I know he was glad that he came on too. It was just beautiful up there overlooking the area!!! :)
We were able to see the dogwoods; which is why we planned our trip when we did. We really wanted to see them blooming and we did! The first day we were there in our camping area; there was 1 tree and the next day there were more blooming and so on and so on. Just beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Overall, we had a great time and some really funny stories. :):)

LOTS and LOTS of RAIN
We have been having a lot of rain for several hours now........about 2 1/2 hours ago we already had 1 1/2 inches of rain. I am curious as to how much we have in our gauge now. It's been lightening up a storm and thundering a whole lot too. Sadie is tucked in her bed and we're all watching Mrs. Doubtfire. HILARIOUS movie if you haven't seen it!
Have a great evening; it's 10:27 PM already and we'll all be turning in for the night in just a little bit.....NIGHT NIGHT! :)

Weather
I am getting nervous about the storms that are heading our way! I get scared when there is severe weather and no one is here, but me, well, besides the kiddos. :)
I remember when Zachary was only about a month old so and there was a severe storm. Zachary slept through the whole thing in my arms; in our hall closet. It was green outside and the wind was CRAZY! So far today we've just had a TON of wind and it keeps trying to blow our mat away that's in the breeze way. HA!
Have a blessed day - CBT!
