I'd like to be Whelmed, Please

I've always wondered why we never hear of people being

Whelmed

They are often Over-Whelmed...

and sometimes Under-Whelmed...

but never seem to be "Whelmed".

It seems to me that whelmingness would be the perfect state.

Not too much or too little...Make sense???

Lately our family has been somewhat

Over Whelmed.

Seeker Man has had some

MAJOR

LIFE CHANGING STUFF

going on...

We are thrilled and excited that he has

moved back home...

Of course, he never lived with us in this house...

but that's good because we have the

ROOM for him here...

Our old house was somewhat smaller.

The little munchkins are SO happy to have

their Big Brother with us,

I think Big Brother is having fun being Adored too!

He's getting all sorts of things figured out...

and seeking God seriously for the first time.

Can I hear an AMEN out there, People?!

There are still some tough times, decisions

and Spiritual Warfare to get through...

But I have Faith and Trust in the LORD.

and,Blessedly, we KNOW who WINS!

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle,

be our protection against

the wickedness and snares of the Devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,

and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,

by the power of God,

cast into Hell, Satan and all the evil spirits

who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Thanks to anyone out there praying for us, we appreciate it!

They Made a MOM Out of Me

Just a few photos of my little...and not so little ones...


Okay, these are definitely NOT in chronological order...I'm just not so good at the upload thing, yet. This is my Seeker Man, when he was 18 (ish), Scooter was his side-kick!


Scooter, one day old! February 1999

Scooter (3?) and Ginger (7?) our overgrown "sheltie"....she was so patient and calm with the children... Just NOT with fireworks...or thunderstorms...or smoke alarms....

Scooter and Tilly in the bike trailer...being used as a stroller. Spring of 2001
Tilly (aka Sweet Pea) looking too cute for words... Winter of 2005 ... (age four)

Scooter, aka Sweetie Pie...Just home from the hospital...a little yellow still, but that resolved...she sure loved to to be "bundled". That was the best time (I could still nap when she napped).

Scooter and Tilly helping to "paint" Christmas cookies. ( 2002)

Taking the girls out in the canoe on the Delaware Canal in Yardley, Pa. (Late Spring 2001)


Summer 2001...MacDougall & McGillicudhy in the pool. we figured out how to put warm water into the pool from the kitchen faucet...boy did we have fun in the yard that Summer!





Snorkie McTavish, one week old....such a cutie...He really did "snork" in his sleep! Winter 2005

Well, That was just the right way to spend the day before Mother's Day... It is amazing how quickly they grow and change, such fun to look through all the pictures. I think tomorrow will be "Home Movie Day" at our house! Blessings and Happy Mother's Day to all my Mom friends out there (family, friends and blog-buddies)

Return soon for the Ballet Recital Post...Three hour ballet version of Don Quixote tonight!
I just have to find the pictures....Hmmmm.
