Shawn's Project

So, with the market being the way that it is, Shawn still hasn't found a job. He has decided to start a little side business of selling radios and not the kind for your car. But I guess you can put one in it, Shawn has. They are hand held radios called GMRS. I don't know all the technical babble, but I do know that when Shawn and Brian go hiking on the island, I can use the radio at home to talk to them on the island and it works great since cell phones don't really work out there! So, if you are interested in learning a little more or purchasing, go to Shawn's new WEBSITE!

Sleeping

Last night, I kept Kirra up a little late. Shawn was supposed to be home by nine and he hadn't seen her all day. Well, he called and said he was going to be late, so I got Kirra to bed an hour late. She climbed out of bed and brought her pillow to me and wanted to cuddle. We went back to her room and cuddled on the rocking chair for a few minutes and then she went back to bed. I could hear her talking to herself, but nothing unusual. Then Shawn comes home at about 10:15 and asks why Kirra is asleep under the table. What?! That's not where I left her! She must not have wanted to stay in her bed because she crawled out of bed with her pillow and three blankets and made a bed under the coffee table in the front room and crashed.

New Templates!

So, I found this website on a friends blog. It has really cute templates and they are really easy to use. She will even do custom headers and the like.

Kid's say the darndest things!

The other night Shawn and I were sitting on the bed watching 'So you think you can Dance' and Kirra kept coming up to dance on the bed. She loves to just be in a diaper and tell us she is going to "shake her booty!" She makes us laugh so hard some times. So, anyway, I pulled her in front of me and I look her in the eye and tell her she is the light of our lives and she looks right back at me and says "Light is good, it's dark outside!"


So I am here at work thinking about it and it makes me laugh, but it also makes me think. We (adults) so often forget how close our little children are to their Heavenly Father. This world is so dark and sad sometimes that we forget to look at the light. I am amazed that it took a two year old in a diaper to remind me that "Light is good".
