The sound of naps

Well all the mom's can relate when I say the best sound of a nap is the peace and quiet of it all. Or the sound of us mom's getting to get to a little task that we probably won't get done with but feels good to start, that would otherwise not even get touched unless kid's were down for naps. My daughter has always had this nice soft way of talking to herself as she is getting to sleep and just waking up. Moaning and Squealing out of delight in and of themselves but, as of late it is more like "Mommy, mommy, hey, hey............... mommy" Silence for a few second's " Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, ha ha ha, daddy, daddy, dadda. And a fun high pitch of the last few to get the point across that I am awake time to get me up!!!! And my favorite part of it all walking in and We are greeted with the best smile, and laugh that will brighten even the worst of days!

my hubby, the son of a preacher man.

Well tonight is Gen church and my husband gets to shed some light on his thoughts with GOd's thoughts mixing together and coming up with something great, profound, meaningful, life filled, funny, and Steve all at the same time. (He is going to preach) This is the hardest for me because on days like this I am like.

Christel: " Steve what are you going to say?"
Steve: " Um...... Well........ you know talk about the stuff that God tells me too"

It gets to be Wednesday afternoon,..

Christel: "Hey honey how is the sermon going?"
Steve: " (SILENCE....................) "
Christel: " Are you going to be done by 6, (gen church starts at 7)
Steve: " I better be"

He is not mean about it, he just gets in these very focused, I can't talk to you because my mind is on other things mode. ( like when any guy plays halo) And all I can do is PRAY! I think that is why God made our hubby's like that so that we can take that extra time a lift them up. So if you haven't lately let this be your reminder pray for your husband. I love my husband more and more each day. Did you guys know that he is one of the best fathers I know!!!

Now that it is September I thought that it was a good month to blog. Ha Ha. I just wanted to get back into the world, to see all you again. Even though my blog is few and far between. I still love looking at everyones all the time. Emily has been growing by leaps and bounds. She will be 16 months on the 15th but she has the height of a 3 year old. She is a goliath to most kiddo's her age. And she eats like one too. So I wanted to put a few pictures that I took of her up for your enjoyment and mine. I'll be back... Hopefully sooner than later.

VBSVBSVBSVBSVBSVBS!!!!!!!!

That is the time of my life right now. I haven't even gotten to see my friend Katie's new house, my mom's of MU, water my drying up flower's, put our house on the market, so we can buy a new car, all the things we were supposed to get done this summer. Now that it is half done... But some good news that says that God is watching over me and my family. Friends of ours are going out of town and have offered to let us borrow their car. Oh, the feeling of AC, room under my legs, not my hubby's sweaty leg touching mine, room enough to not only carry Steve, Emily and I but another member of the human race legally!!! Ha Ha. (Not that being close to your hubby all the time is all that bad ;))
So for those of you that don't know that we the Fleming family of Three. Have been driving in a 2 door dodge, dakota. We're Mommy (me) gets to sit on the middle hump with no where to put my long legs except the dash or draped over Emily! Our fam car broke down awhile back and we have yet the funds to buy another one till we sell our house, which will hopefully happen this next week God willing. But of coarse we are patient and thankful that we have faithful friends that trust us enough to let us have a break from the uncomfortable for a while!!! You are awesome!

Another day!

July and I haven't posted since June. Ugh! I'm bad. The time has just flown by. Life has been so busy and crazy but of coarse not my excuse just fact. But I have loved looking and reading all of your blogs, just have not taken time for mine. Camp was a blast, 4th of JUly fun, and now working diligently on VBS. Vacation Bible School, which this year is a western theme. Yeehaw! Can't wait and that has been what my life has been taken up with. That, and a soon to be 14 month old that loves to sing, talk, say no, dance, say mommy, gama, baby, and a million other things that make 2 naps a day, Still a gift from God!!! Hope your wednesday's are as bright and shiny as mine has been, love you all!

What a crazy day! Father's day passed without saying a hearty thank you to the father's in my life. What great men. I'm blessed to have men in my life that have helped me or help me daily to live my life to the fullest. So hope that you are honored for being the men you are meant to be.

But to give honor were it is due. I want to thank my hubby. A dad for a little over a year. And of coarse, has not mastered it but working daily on being the best dad Emily could ever need. She is so blessed to have him as a dad. And I am for having a faithful husband. Thanks Steve. We love you.

Number One!

My little one just turned one! Yeah! She is so much bigger then most kids her age you would think that she was 2 or 3 but no she just turned one. It was a fabulous event. Alittle of both sides of the family came out to join in the fun. Both grandpa's were there. And the first eating of a cupcake was very eventful. And Auntie Missy made a great hippo cake. Hope everyone is well. We are growing by leaps and bounds.
