The Little Things

It's the little things ...

A cup of coffee

Bright flowers by an old picket fence

A yummy cinnamon roll

And the smiles on Hannah's and Chandler's faces as they ate ice cream this evening

after Chandler's spring program at school

I am blessed!

Such Brave Kids

Hannah and Chandler both had dentist appointments today

and made me so proud!!

Hannah:  x-rays, cleaning, sealants, flouride treatment

Chandler:  x-rays, cleaning, flouride treatment, and a tooth pulled

They were so brave and cooperated perfectly

so they were rewarded with a trip to Toys R Us.

My sweet boy with a missing tooth ...

I am so proud of my sweet babies and so thankful to my mom for being there with us today!

This post would not be complete if I did not include two hilarious quotes from today:

CHANDLER

Picture Chandler in the dentist's chair.  They have seriously numbed his gum with topical stuff, the nurse is holding out his lower lip and suctioning out his mouth, and the dentist is giving him a shot. 

Chandler manages to say, "Are you giving me a shot? Because if you're giving me a shot, I can't really feel it."

HANNAH

We were in two cars and as we left the restaurant

Chandler climbed into Chad's car and sat in Hannah's booster seat. 

 I'm sitting in the van and hear Hannah say, "If he toots in my seat I am going to be extremely upset." 

Silliness

After I picked Hannah up from school today I decided to take a picture of my two cuties together in their red shirts.  It's a good thing I wasn't needing to get a "good" photo for a Christmas card or something, because this is what I got ...

And, right about here, things really started to fall apart ...

Of course, all of this really begs the question, "What exactly is the definition of a 'good' picture?" 

Because, if a good photo is one that brings a smile to your face,

then I got some great photos today!

A Few of My Favorite Things

Coffee in a red mug ...

A stack of books ...

And a delightful pillow stitched by my mom.

These are a few of my favorite things!

Spring Tulips

I love, love, love TULIPS!! 

Chandler and I went on a little drive in our neighborhood so I could photograph

some of the gorgeous tulips in bloom right now ...

Journey the Way

We worshiped for the first time on Sunday at a new church plant in downtown Wichita called Journey the Way.  The church meets in the old Murdock Theatre ...

We felt blessed to worship here with brothers and sisters in Christ!

Bike Riding Fun

Hannah and Chandler were super excited to ride their brand new bikes. 

Daddy spent time helping Hannah learn to ride her bike without training wheels ...

she's starting to get the hang of it and she's so excited!

It won't be long and we'll be able to go on a family bike ride!
