I love how much help Jacob was to you and your mom helping plant everything. It must look amazing. Playing in the dirt is the best part!

somewhere along the way, if you posted about a haircut, i missed it. I notice a few curls are gone and he is looking more like a big boy.

Happy Wednesday!; May 12, 2010 at 4:39 PM

Stacie, A Firefighter's Wife said...: That is a LOT of flowers to plant! No wonder Grandma needed help!; May 13, 2010 at 1:13 PM
Liz Mays said...: So completely adorable!!! That watering can was as big as he is!; May 13, 2010 at 2:53 PM
Valerie said...: Hi Christy Rose!

First, what a sweet post! Jacob looks like a great helper for Grandma and Grandpa. Such a big boy using the gardening tools and watering can.

Second, thanks so much for dropping by and leaving your name ideas. I love "J" names too, but we have a LOT of them in our family (my side)...my brother and his wife used "J" names for their 2 boys, but are also "J" names themselves! In fact, one of my nephews is a "Jacob". Such a beautiful name!

Wishing you a great Thursday...the weekend is almost here!

elaine @ peace for the journey said...: I know I don't have to tell you this, but enjoy the help while you can get it. Tonight I actually made it into the kitchen to cook dinner. Baby girl was all about helping momma, but when it came to the tasting she took a pass. Poor thing, she worked so hard. I guess meatballs aren't in keeping with brownies!

Beautiful young boy you have there...

Have a great month of May. Hope it's pretty there and the weather is great.

We finally got 5 days of sun & no rain in a row. The rain will return in about 2 days...I am anxious for many sunny days.

Take care,

Welcome

just some insights into my thoughts and feelings about my life and what God is revealing to me and how i am experiencing His grace and mercy in so many ways. please feel free to comment and share your heart here too. i'd love to hear from you. you never know whose life you just might touch with your insights as well.

My First Blog Entry
March 27, 2009

laying my heart at the feet of Jesus
well, here goes. not really sure how this is going to go but i do believe it is in my heart to begin to share some of the things that God is doing in my life and secrets that live in my heart. i've really been inspired by a blog that i have just begun to read by a young, sweet mommy (what she calls herself). happening upon her blog was not an accident but, i believe, a direction from the Lord. as i have read much of what she has written from her heart, i've been moved to tears and smiled a lot, enjoying partaking of what she has shared. wondering if anything that i have to share might move anyone as her writings have moved me, i thought that i just might let some of my heart be opened to those interested in hearing the secrets in the heart of a wife and mom who sometimes feels as if she might drown in the difficulties of raising five children if it weren't for my God who is ever so merciful and His Grace who is ever so powerful. as i write this, tears stream down my own face, thinking of some of the situations that i am laying at the feet of Jesus at this very moment in my life. this seems to make it plain to me that going forward with this new adventure of blogging may just be a way for God to continue to remind me of His love and His goodness toward me. open heart surgery, with God's love as the knife, that's kind of what it feels like. cutting away the dead, useless pieces and repairing it with His intense, unconditional love. i hope that a few people are touched and moved to sharing their lives as well by reading some of what i may reveal of myself as i continue to lay my heart at his feet and trust Him to keep it and make it whole.
