Big Boy Haircut!

Before!

After!
Dear Jonah,

This past Tuesday (12/13) - we took you to Super Cuts 4 Kids where you had your first "big boy" haircut. Daddy cut your hair once before, but we wanted someone with a little more experience to do it this time. You were such a brave boy... you sat in the hummer seat and played with bubbles and a coloring book the whole time. You didn't even seem to notice your hair being cut until the stylist moved around to the front. Even then, you took it in stride. You're such a big boy and you're sooooo handsome! Mommy is just a little sad I can't run my fingers through your hair when snuggling you, but I'll get over it I guess. :)

the hair cut begins! 

Side view of the long mess! :) 
Not so happy about the front being cut. ha.

I love it...

That every time Jonah talks to Selah she breaks out in a wide smile. Praying my children stay the best of friends.

My husband takes my breath away...

Just a quick post to say that I am madly, deeply, and passionately in love with Jason Dugger. He is so amazing and I don't know how I ended up so lucky as to be his wife. :)

Too funny x2!!!

So tonight when I put H to bed she again began talking to God and Jesus! She kept calling for them. On the other side of the door I prayed that she would sense His presence and His desire for a friendship with her. It also reminded me of a conversation we had the other day where she told me she wanted to swing with Jesus! Anyway, I. Carry on about my night and then I hear her calling for me. I listen as she says, "mama, I talked to them! Mama! I talked to God and Jesus!" - I never went in her room, but my heart was so happy that she is grasping faith! Praying these moments are nurtured into a mature relationship with her Creator some day! :)

Too funny!

I put Havana down for her nap and then went to deal with Selah. After leaving Selah's room I hear Havana talking very loudly- she was saying, "God! Jesus! God! Jesus! I'm still awake! Can you tell mommy and daddy I'm still awake?" -- what a funny and sweet conversation to overhear! :)

Feeling a little like superwoman! :)

Sometimes I think the Lord gives me opportunities to do something new with all three kids in order to build my confidence as a mother. Today was one of those moments! Yesterday I found out that a lady in the neighborhood was put on bedrest while pregnant with her third child. I do not know this lady, but thought I could certainly bring them a meal. I called yesterday expecting to run a meal over next week, but she asked if I could bring one today!

I agreed, but then realized I would have to go to the store. This AM Jason and I took the kids to the store and then i came home and made the dinner. When it was ready, Jason was not home, so loaded Jonah and Selah into the stroller, put tucker on his leash, and Havana an I pushed the double stroller down the street to drop off the meal! I talked to Havana about how we were making dinner for a family in need and she said her favorite part of the adventure was when the lady said, "oh thank you!" :) -- I thanked the Lord for allowing me to take all 4 kids (including tucker) on a walk by myself! Little moments like that certainly boost my confidence in this while motherhood journey! Thank you, Lord!
