A Thousand Words Thursday
Its Thursday again and I haven't really posted since last Thursday. I don't have anything fun or exciting to talk about, so I will share my pics for this week. These are from about 3 years ago, when we took a little day trip to Kansas City. It was just one of those perfect days, and I forgot how much fun we had that day until I looked at these pics! Enjoy everyone!

A Thousand Words Thursday
Ramblings....
Last night I went to church to start a new bible study. It was Beth Moore's latest study, "Esther, It's Tough Being a Woman." All I have to say is "Oh my goodness!" This will be the 7th Beth Moore bible study that I have taken and I have never, never started the homework the day after I got the book, but this morning, I awoke at 5:30 am, and fixed some coffee and sat down to begin my journey with Miss Beth and Esther. Let me just tell you, God showed up too! For quite sometime, I have been going through a tough season in my life. I have been questioning so many things. But today in the stillness of the morning, God spoke words of hope to my heart. Hope that this season of hurt, trial, and spiritual dryness, is soon coming to an end. And boy am I ready! I am eager to see what He has in store for me, ready to go where He calls me, and needing Him to transform me. To those of you who read this blog and have never taken one of Beth's studies, I urge you to do so, she is amazing. God is using her to better His kingdom!
On an entirely different note, if you are reading this blog for the 1st time or have been here many times, let me know, please leave me a comment! I would love to hear from you!

Our newest family member.
I am a bad blogger! It has been a long time since I posted, but in my defense I had a baby 2 weeks ago and have been a little preoccupied! Nevertheless, I need to share our story and pictures of my precious little princess with all my blog buddies!
Things did not go as I planned.
I was scheduled to go into the hospital on Dec 29th, at 4pm to have a planned C-section. I was instructed that I couldn’t eat anything that day after 8 am, so
We got the hospital and they wheeled me in and Ella Noelle Graber was born at 6:15am, she weighed 7lbs 14 oz, and was the prettiest thing ever! With very fat cheeks, I’m afraid she got those from me. I am praying that she doesn’t inherit my big boobs! I wouldn’t wish those on anyone!
We are all home now, I am still recovering, slowly, but doing ok. Ella is beautiful. I am so amazingly blessed. God is such an awesome God, I can’t believe He picked me to be the mom of such precious kids! I never knew how much fun it would be to have a little girl, I never knew I liked pink this much! I feel like I am a little kid again playing with my dolls, except this doll is by far the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!
By the way, my husband was really wonderful, he does take a lot of pictures, which at the time; I was not amusing to me, but I was very thankful for them once it was all over! He is a wonderful man, and is so in love with our little princess!
Ella Noelle Graber right after she was born.With mommy and daddy for the first time!My little angels. Benjamin and Noah both love her so much already!
We put her in this precious dress for her pictures at the hospital. I guess by her hand gestures, she doesn't think it is as fabulous as I do!
Ella with her daddy, although you can't see him!
