Who writes this stuff?

My photo
I try to keep my priorities in order: Jesus, my Andy, our children, everything else. I homeschool our boys, love to read almost all written words and have been challenged by the military life for 18 years. Right now my faulty human body is demanding a lot of attention. One day at a time, learning as much as possible every day and remembering to look for JOY when other things threaten to overwhelm.

My Blog Title Verse

"For the Lord gives wisdom. From His mouth come knowledge and understanding." Proverbs 2:6 NKJV
The Message translation puts it this way "God gives out Wisdom free, is plainspoken in Knowledge and Understanding."

Bedtime stories

I pulled out a photo album today full of pictures of myself growing up. (side note - I don't recommend looking at pictures of yourself from middle school, or highschool for that matter either! At least, I didn't like looking at my clothing in them!!!)
 Anyway... I wanted to look at pictures with my kids of myself when I was their ages. We were flipping through pages, and I was pointing people out to them and Canaan says "Wait. That is Papaw? I didn't know he used to have black hair!" And that really threw me for a loop. My Dad is now gray headed enough that Canaan doesn't know that he has black hair! That kinda freaked me out. Here is a picture of my Dad reading me a bedtime story when I was about 6 years old. 


 And here is one of my Dad reading to my boys sometime earlier this year. I think that 20 some odd years have been good to him, don't you? 

I guess the really good traditions never die, huh? Dr. Seuss in both pictures... anybody notice that?
