Aren't those shoes pretty? I think so. They're from Urban Outfitters.

Chris and I have been thinking about making some lanterns for the back deck. Might try these...

Then I saw these in the Anthropologie catalog yesterday which makes me think it would be really pretty to make them in color. But how? any suggestions?

Aren't these necklaces pretty? Click here for the details.

Reminds me of when Taylor made some necklaces a few weeks ago.

the swing

Took him to the park.

Thought I'd try the swings.

"Those bucket ones are small. He's big enough."

Probably the only time Cohen has ever been described as tiny.

It was a sad night and it seems this morning as though it was all a bad dream. It wasn't but I read this scripture earlier and was reminded that our Lord is the ONLY sure and unfailing thing in my life. Please continue to pray for Micah's family and friends. Whitney is brokenhearted and very confused. As a big sister I ask that you would please pray on her behalf specifically. 

God is our refuge and strength, 
       an ever-present help in trouble.

 ² Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way 
       and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

 ³ though its waters roar and foam 
       and the mountains quake with their surging. 
       Selah

 ⁴ There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, 
       the holy place where the Most High dwells.

 ⁵ God is within her, she will not fall; 
       God will help her at break of day.

 ⁶ Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; 
       he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

 ⁷ The LORD Almighty is with us; 
       the God of Jacob is our fortress. 
       Selah

 ⁸ Come and see the works of the LORD, 
       the desolations he has brought on the earth.

 ⁹ He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; 
       he breaks the bow and shatters the spear, 
       he burns the shields with fire.

 ¹⁰ "Be still, and know that I am God; 
       I will be exalted among the nations, 
       I will be exalted in the earth."

 ¹¹ The LORD Almighty is with us; 
       the God of Jacob is our fortress. 
       Selah

Prayers for Micah

Hey everyone. Please pray for my sister's sweet friend Micah Pate. She went running last night and now is missing. My heart is TORN for Whitney as well as all of Micah's other friends and family! This hits way to close to home, it could just as easily be any one of us. PLEASE pray for Micah, that they would find her well and for her family, husband and friends as they all endure this incredibly difficult time. I will update as I know more but here is the news story that may be updated before I can.
