Family Pics





We just had our family photos taken, and they were quite the ordeal! Trying to get a toddler and a baby to smile simultaneously can be a struggle. We were just happy to come out of there with a few decent photos. All I have to say is bribery can be a wonderful thing. Tyson's two faves right now when it comes to candy our nem-ma-nems(M&M's) and suckers. Both were used to pry some smiles out of him. We had quite the scare last week with Elise in the ER for a mild concussion. It is times like those that allow you to look at your life and realize how blessed you are. I find joy every day in being a mom. I told Brad just today, if anyone ever complains about being bored in their life, just have kids!
Tyson is just starting to say prayers on his own right now. The other night he said one all by himself and made sure to send extra blessings to his sister Elise. As he was going through the list of people to bless, he began with daddy, mommy, Elise, Tyson and Sister Sally(our nickname for Elise sometimes). There are so many moments of tender mercies I see from the Lord as a mom.
