Day 9-A Photo You Took

So here's a photo I took last October. It makes me happy and sad. Happy that Daddy was here for me for my childhood and sad that he will not be here for Everly's. I cry all the time thinking about the things he would enjoy about her.

Day 8-A Photo That Makes You Angry/Mad

Sad Photo

I have never looked at this photo closely. Just hearing about it makes me cry. The picture I'm talking about is referred to as "The Vulture". It was featured in Time Magazine. If you click the link above it will be close to the bottom of the page. I only glanced. I heard about this from our preacher. He used this example in one of his sermons. It is so sad. The vulture is waiting for a child to die. The photographer waited for his shot. He didn't help the child. The photographer later committed suicide. Fair warning, there are many disturbing photos on the link. I would not recommend children be around while you are viewing them.

Day 5-Favorite Quote

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Since I have become a mother it's more powerful to me that ever. Thank you Lord for your sacrifice to give a sinner like me everlasting life.

Day 4-Favorite Book

I love, love, love to read so it's very hard for me to pick my favorite book. So, I'm going to choose some of my favorite children's books. These are books that I love to read with Everly or to my kindergarten class.

The first that I love is Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse by Kevin Henkes. It's about a little mouse named Lilly who gets in trouble and really begins to dislike her teacher. Such a cute story!



Another I really love to read to Miss E is Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney. It is the perfect bed time story. We have the board book edition. I could read this over and over to Everly as we sit in the rocker in her room.


My mom and dad got Everly the next book and we use it often. We used it for our bedtime stories for a while. I would read several of the stories each night. I really like this little bible. It includes discussion topics for moms and daughters at the end of each of the stories.
Here are a few other classics that I love-

Obviously I stink at this! Day 3

Day 3-your favorite television program


Over the past two years I haven't had much time for television. When I was pregnant I started watching Teen Mom on MTV. I wanted to see what these young girls were going through, since I was in the same boat. I knew how it wasn't a piece of cake for me and I couldn't imagine being 17 and doing it. Also my sister was a teen mom and I wanted to try to understand what she had to go through raising a son at such a young age. Then when I saw the episode where Catelynn gave up Carly for adoption, I was totally hooked! Funny back story to that episode. I was in B's parents bedroom nursing E when this episode came on (she was about two weeks old) and I bawled and bawled. He came in to check on us and thought something was wrong. Then through all my hormones I had to explain!

Another show that I have recently started watching is Mad Men on AMC. I love it! I have been getting the past seasons on Netflix to catch up. I really don't like watching the new episodes yet because I don't want to spoil anything with the Drapers.
