Sick Day

These are the children who doted on their sick puking momma these past two days and then finally coaxed me out into the yard this morning.






















How have I never see Janie's gift to serve? Full-hearted and without expectation she made me the apple of her eye. Between pillows and blankies, tuck-ins and gentle pats, errands and undivided attention, I captured a glimpse of gentleness in this fierce daughter of mine. "Are you sure I can't get you anything else, Momma? Maybe another little pillow for right here?" pointing to a gap in the blanket. She is already puffing another in place. Jack was all hugs. And hugs and hugs.























Lulie ate a boxful of Cheerios and thanked the Lord for Daddy.
Me too!

  1. What glorious little ones you've got over there! I love the wipe sticker on Janie's Shade shirt. :)

    Hope the sunshine did you good and that you're up and at 'em tomorrow!

  3. How precious to see Janie's gifts develop! What a joy!

    The title picture is so cute. So, do you have a camera attached to you at all times too? Do you remember life before the blog? You do such a great job! I really feel so connected to you even though it's been years and now we are miles apart.
