Fetching Fish off the Floor

As we know kids are so funny! Annabelle is constantly making us laugh. This happened last week. She decided to throw all of her goldfish onto the floor. So we stopped watching Dora until she picked them all up! Well, she obeyed but not in exactly the way we thought. Check out what she did!

Side note: I home sick with her today. As of 5:20am she had a temp of 102! He had a fever last night also. Other than this temperature she seems to be fine, but we can't send her to daycare if it is over a 101 degrees.

Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us. Ephesians 3:20

This was my verse that I claimed when I got my job teaching last April. I cling to it as I just found out that my contract for next year is NOT being renewed due to financial cuts within the district and being the lowest person on the totem pole I am among the first to be let go.

When the disciples went to the other side, they forgot to take bread. “Watch out,” Jesus said to them, “beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” So they began to discuss this among themselves, saying, “It is because we brought no bread.” When Jesus learned of this, he said, “You who have such little faith! Why are you arguing among yourselves about having no bread? Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up? Or the seven loaves for the four thousand and how many baskets you took up? Matthew 16

I read this verse the day before I got the news of my job. I immediately thought: Am I like the disciples who have seen God do many amazing things in my life and yet have little faith right now, may it not be! I am trusting God through this situation that I can't see the "Why?" right now, but I know the answer in a few weeks, months, or even years will be clear to me.

What are you going through today that you are having little faith? Hopefully, you can look back and see what God has already done in your life and trust Him to continually provide and take care of your needs. If you want to learn more about God and learning to trust him visit this site, Need Him.

God Bless!

Valentine's Day

Make a Smilebox photobook

Josh and I decided since the past couple of weekends we have gone on dates with friends that we wanted to spend Valentine's Day with Annabelle. She really seemed to enjoy herself and was even saying, "Happy Valentine's Day". We took her to Chuck E. Cheese for lunch. A lot of parents had the EXACT same idea because the place was absolutely PACKED! Then we took her over the mall to Build-a-Bear, where many more parents had the EXACT same idea. We had to wait in line for about 1/2 hour before ever choosing the animal! It was worth it. Annabelle chose Hello Kitty. Josh and I put a sound in her so when she squeezes her hand it says, "Mommy loves you Annabelle (my voice) and You're so pretty (her dad's voice)" She loves it. She kept pressing play after it was made!

Josh got me an appointment with the guy who does biofeedback. He went a couple of months ago and this man was able to almost get rid of Josh's headaches altogether. I am going for some other issues to see if he can resolve any of mine! It was such a blessed Valentine's Day.

Awhile back I asked for help with getting Annabelle to eat. Well, we found the perfect brib...CANDY! We have a candy bag that you will see in the video and if she eats all her dinner she gets to choose a piece from the bag. It has helped so much! Now, we rarely have problems getting her to eat her dinner.
