We love Saturdays!

Saturdays are such wonderful days! There is nothing better than waking up, staying in pjs, turning on cartoons (maybe a bit premature) and just having fun!

Chase loves to play with the pots and pans when we are in the kitchen. He loves the noise that each of the things make. Between the three of us, we can make a pretty good percussion section :) Before too long, Chase will be helping Matt cook eggs.

Road Trip!

These blog posts are all out of date but I guess that's what you get when you wait a month to update. We went to Dalton, GA to visit dear friends of ours who moved there during the summer. They live on 18 acres in an absolutely beautiful home! We couldn't stay but for a night but we had such a great time! It was so good to see them! I miss my Hartley boys!

Needless to say, Hogan had a blast running round. Susan and Michael have two dogs, Bentley and Sage, and Hogan spent the whole time chasing them. They are good sports about it, that's for sure!

Thank you Hartleys for a weekend of fun!

H-A-L-L-O-W-E-E-N

We had a great time dressing up Chase for Halloween. Needless to say, we had a great time, but the little bug? Not so much. He was a great sport considering he was tired and overdue for bed. We went up to the neighborhood party at the pool then over to our good friends Scott and Jacci to get pictures of the boys. Scott and Jacci's son, Jack, is just 5 weeks older than Chase. We live in the same neighborhood, have same age boys and go to the same church. And all a random coincidence. Here are some pictures of the fun night!

(In Chase's defense...his tiger outfit had padding to it so it looks like he is bigger than he really is :) )

Scott, Jacci and sweet Jack

How precious is he???!!!!

I think they were done...even the milk duds didn't excite them :)

Mom and her butterbean!

Sunday School

In Sunday School the other day, a friend played a song for us. The book we have been reading is all about raising our children in a Godly way and this song tells us exactly how we should be. Great lyrics and you can listen to it below.

Probably my new favorite song...I had heard it in the past but hadn't actually listened to the words. Such comforting things to remember.

Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!

Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!

And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall...so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!

Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!

O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can't contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!

And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!
