Easter in Moab Day 1

We had a most wonderful time in Moab, Utah over the Easter weekend. We left on Friday morning early and traveled six hours West to Moab. The girls all traveled pretty good, though Paige was DONE with her car seat by the end of the day!

After finding our perfect camping spot along the Colorado River (the last one available, by the way) we did some driving - to Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse State Park (where the last scene of Thelma and Louise was filmed, if you care).

Here we are looking out over the canyon and the LaSal mountains at Dead Horse. Breathtaking!

And here is Sean with his girls overlooking the canyon at Canyonlands. Again...breathtaking.

We headed back to camp, finished setting up and started the fire. Hot dogs and s'mores! This was pretty much the scene every evening around our camp over the weekend (only we were each a little dirtier every night!)....

So that was Friday. We have so many pictures that I'll have to do this in parts...so stay tuned for pictures from our Saturday (and then Sunday and then Monday). Sean took some really awesome landscape photos as well...I'm sure he'll be sharing those with you soon on his blog.

By the way, (as if you didn't already know it) all, or at least 99%, of these pictures are by Sean. The guy loves taking pictures. He took 796 of them over our Easter weekend away. I took...maybe 3?! Some people need bread and water to survive. I'm pretty sure my husband needs a camera/something to take a picture of and the chance to fly on a regular basis or he'd wither away and die.

Me? I need a good book to read, my journal to write in, and...coffee.

Maddie's Big Day!

Image
I'm just gushing over here.  My second-born took a big step today and made a decision for Christ!  We were having a talk in the car on the way to the store about heaven and next thing I know she's over there quietly folding her hands and whispering a prayer to Jesus. When she was done, she looked over at me with a big smile and said, "I have so many blessings from God, Mommy!" Indeed. Happy Born Again Day, Madison Elizabeth!  We love you so much.

If you can't beat 'em....

Brooklyn can't seem to resist writing on the walls. I finally decided to put an end to the battle.... Now she has her own special place in her bedroom to be as creative as she wants (within reason). This can be painted over and it gives her some boundaries while still allowing her to be "creative." I'm not sure she'll have any interest in writing on the wall now that it isn't against the rules but I sure had fun painting on the wall. I'm tempted to paint myself a square to doodle and scribble on.

About Last Weekend

  Let me just say, everybody is fine.  But that picture up there, in Brooklyn's sweet note to her Daddy, pretty much sums up our weekend.  Blood.  Lots of it.  Flowing out of Sean's foot.    On Sunday afternoon Sean was using a weed-eater to try and tame our wild, jungle grass in the yard.  This weed-eater, rather than having a nice, docile nylon string was basically a little metal machete propeller.  Which, incidently, is not so safe when you accidently get your foot in its way.   Ugh.  Let me just say that seeing my husband's foot bleeding profusely was mighty disconcerting.  I worked in a dialysis unit, mind you, and regularly dealt with people's blood.  But when it is somebody you love, it just can't be helped to feel a little woozy and worried at the sight.    Praise God, it wasn't a toe and Praise God it wasn't any worse.  We were able to drop the girls off with our teammates and get him to t...
