So, why did we vacation where we live? Well, we had a free place to stay on Sanibel Island, which is about an hour from our house. We were invited by our friends to vacation there with them for the week. It was nice being close to home, but yet being able to be away. We had a great time relaxing and enjoying time together. One of the advantages to vacationing near our home was being able to get a sitter to drive over and watch the kids one night so the adults could go to a nice dinner alone. The kids had so much fun on our vacation and I absolutely love watching their little faces light up as they experience new things. Even though we go to the beach often the older they get the more they can do at the beach. This year is our first year really riding the waves and it was a blast. We saw dolphins and sting-rays almost every day. Gerald and Miles fished some as well. Sometimes you don't know how much you need a vacation until you actually take one. We really needed a vacation! You will notice there are no pictures of me on this trip. I was behind the camera the whole time. Next time I will have to remember to get a picture or two.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJRgoB3CH9a8OR-UwdvsR3BNuYbhYQwBshFgrlz7P95lM_X2BIHZE7izAv_PFwDsSQ4IrZIPklhzeiS0tRGy9-o9LcLIkhoNZxBT1KrtHznX92P-awuTKxESXKxG_E9GrFvry2SGYNzKw/s1600-h/DSC07987.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

One of our members helped me out. I have a new battery on my car and I guess it came lose. He jiggled it and the car started working. He said to tighten it up when I got home. I left church and began praying we would make it home safely. We only live about 5 miles from the church. We made it to the light before our house and in the turning lane my car stopped. Cars were blowing their horns and Miles was getting upset. I knew the battery just needed to be jiggled again and we could make it. My key was stuck in the car. I got out and a car stopped to help, a lady, to push it off the road. Most people had just blown their horn, but this lady stopped to help. Then, by the grace of God, my car just started and I made it home. Once I stepped out of the car at my house the tears just flowed. I realized how different the situation could have been. I could have very easily been hit by a car because of where I was and it was night or worst something could have happened to my kids. I just couldn't stop crying when I got home. I don't think Gavin had ever seen me cry and he just sat quietly looking at me. Miles said mom I should have prayed at church about our car, but I didn't know. Then when I laid him down I thanked the Lord we made it home safely. He said mom why were you crying. I told him I was afraid and he said God said we should not be afraid. I've just been studying in my bible study how the Lord wants us to come to him with a child like faith. What changes when we're older? What keeps us from having that childlike faith? I think we just know more. We know more about the dangers in the world, but from the mouth of a four year old. God says do not be afraid. I'm just so incredibly thankful that the Lord protected us tonight!! Their is not a doubt in my mind that we are safe because of his protection.Malloyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00547500552851384588noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291265451642043295.post-72241171709257174602009-04-13T06:44:00.000-07:002009-04-13T10:30:50.517-07:00Easter Celebration<div style="text-align: center;">We had a great Easter this year. We started out last weekend with a big event at our church. The kids didn't get to do the egg hunt there because Miles had a soccer game. So, on Easter we had a hunt at our house. Gerald led worship at our overflow service for the last time this year. He's done a great job all year!! Then we came back here to share Easter with three families from our church. It was my first time hosting Easter at our house. It was so much fun. I was a little unsure how I would get all the food ready in time or that it would taste well when it was finished. Everything turned out great. We're so blessed to have a home and friends to share it with. I look forward to doing it next year!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2XOSq3zlBkgIhII1Zp6NlMUmhWjz3o-ofHAUU2vJiZZfv5XiCRjyIVB6h0qfm6GB5r0tT90TLDj9Ze6Rg7HftuWihx1mLnd1ZyNPTvGuGWez_bzaV-96GkmWAw3X3_x3NfbB9QAnmxqc/s1600-h/DSC07712.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2XOSq3zlBkgIhII1Zp6NlMUmhWjz3o-ofHAUU2vJiZZfv5XiCRjyIVB6h0qfm6GB5r0tT90TLDj9Ze6Rg7HftuWihx1mLnd1ZyNPTvGuGWez_bzaV-96GkmWAw3X3_x3NfbB9QAnmxqc/s320/DSC07712.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324227170610948898" border="0" /></a>Gavin was into taking pictures this year.

Soccer. We decided to sign Miles up to play soccer. I can't believe he's old enough to play organized sports!! He cried multiple times his first game because the kids were "kicking him". I started thinking that I had made a big mistake signing him up. By the second and third game he began to get the idea and he actually really went after the ball. Now, he's doing really well. He's enjoying playing and he's getting better at it. I must admit I'm a bit surprised. I'm also surprised at how much fun I'm having watching him! It's fun going through all the different stages with them and watching them grow. I've also surprised myself by yelling on the sidelines. I DO NOT YELL AT SPORITNG EVENTS! You wouldn't ever find me yelling or encouraging someone from the sidelines, but something about your child being out there has released the inner voice in me. I'm now a side line encourager. I think that sounds better than yelling. Who knew!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUS6461R5rxEWS1AW-mPbZwrmPmXQ9VaSrAQVzMbUg4clRyal-wrTtiv50jOK2UbmcNFt8di7Q85jwZzVFtQibcexr3vF2pv-IRaFV7E9f-I6bfU4bQ8XxAhLFEeutHkfrNBiHLGYTO5g/s1600-h/DSC07294.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUS6461R5rxEWS1AW-mPbZwrmPmXQ9VaSrAQVzMbUg4clRyal-wrTtiv50jOK2UbmcNFt8di7Q85jwZzVFtQibcexr3vF2pv-IRaFV7E9f-I6bfU4bQ8XxAhLFEeutHkfrNBiHLGYTO5g/s320/DSC07294.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323981699768573858" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaQvQdV5NHIMvR4F3OJZJ-fnhqdOO3wJ8ewjU-UzC69oAmc6ddG64ZfDFTEqIEakzjbUBGfLkifwq7TR1Nd89CltXY7JRokS2bDCGYLnur0URxjrFH1mJ7PEAUPgY11_GI8_DjZ6MC_Ac/s1600-h/DSC07309.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 310px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaQvQdV5NHIMvR4F3OJZJ-fnhqdOO3wJ8ewjU-UzC69oAmc6ddG64ZfDFTEqIEakzjbUBGfLkifwq7TR1Nd89CltXY7JRokS2bDCGYLnur0URxjrFH1mJ7PEAUPgY11_GI8_DjZ6MC_Ac/s320/DSC07309.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323981200920972210" border="0" /></a>Miles throwing the ball in with his coach Rob.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMFRkaUbhHMfI3kHn9IVuZGkzgqNIOxRlZcMgGhRq8fqhX-R17XIXjKhRqJ_OKyFYEk7iPS3ZCMXhr0A2-n7Iv-gxgQlShFGhF-mLAGa2_rPyUGsqlLL9GGNAmOZDl-QvqSJPSXEbMWG0/s1600-h/DSC07302.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 217px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMFRkaUbhHMfI3kHn9IVuZGkzgqNIOxRlZcMgGhRq8fqhX-R17XIXjKhRqJ_OKyFYEk7iPS3ZCMXhr0A2-n7Iv-gxgQlShFGhF-mLAGa2_rPyUGsqlLL9GGNAmOZDl-QvqSJPSXEbMWG0/s320/DSC07302.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323980800491650834" border="0" /></a>His uniform is so big on him!<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDrSIrETl5FBA0ax95x53EVE2-migdHHgZaEVE1dQWlbZn46gdTTK4patWWEYNEhYIWVZ4SOL_MFK5DMSIALMlxHBl9heWFhja-moXHeGz-5zwCG2FGf4XtH-1kmDmpMKbgrwpS3XSE48/s1600-h/DSC07317.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 276px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDrSIrETl5FBA0ax95x53EVE2-migdHHgZaEVE1dQWlbZn46gdTTK4patWWEYNEhYIWVZ4SOL_MFK5DMSIALMlxHBl9heWFhja-moXHeGz-5zwCG2FGf4XtH-1kmDmpMKbgrwpS3XSE48/s320/DSC07317.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323980524108321202" border="0" /></a>Miles in action.<br /></div>Malloyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00547500552851384588noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291265451642043295.post-67476735129802377612009-02-27T16:04:00.001-08:002009-02-27T16:52:57.550-08:00We're still here!!Gavin turns two and I disappear from the blogging world. What happened? I'm not sure, but I do know he is an active little boy. Between the two of them they keep me busy. Gavin has changed so much in the past few months. He's talking more, we've given up the pacifier, and we're beginning to potty train. Today was really the first day and he was only successful once, but he sure did make a game of spending time getting on and off the potty. He can make a game of anything. As much as he's grown he's still a mama's boy. He often still wants to cuddle with me in the rocker before going to sleep. Even though he's two and getting so big I treasure these moments because I feel like if I blink too long he'll be four like Miles. Crazy how fast time goes once you have kids. Miles is starting soccer next week. Lots of milestones this year.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVkgoQXFVxsb5FYpg5f2GeDvN8owOT90bx112qCAxn5tmpwcawPM042eSz8aeLkWvwI7qMwOkvZfWC65yQPSRC9R3b-oy1YgyyK6jftT6y7YE7Nu-K2p-2RjSrm9Us1394k7QJzOcKeI4/s1600-h/DSC07055.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVkgoQXFVxsb5FYpg5f2GeDvN8owOT90bx112qCAxn5tmpwcawPM042eSz8aeLkWvwI7qMwOkvZfWC65yQPSRC9R3b-oy1YgyyK6jftT6y7YE7Nu-K2p-2RjSrm9Us1394k7QJzOcKeI4/s320/DSC07055.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307640562998903618" border="0" /></a>Gavin turns 2. We didn't really do a party because we took Gavin to the circus for his birthday. We did have a little mini party with some friends to give him his gifts.

This morning Miles said "mom do you know what they teach at private school? He preceded to tell me that they teach you "how to play with your privates". I have no idea where this thought came from. We were just sitting there eating breakfast. You never really know what he's going to say. Last night some friends of our watched the boys for a little bit while we ran out. They laid Miles down for bed and they asked him if he normally slept with his door shut. He said no and if you shut it you will get fired. He makes us laugh these days!!Malloyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00547500552851384588noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291265451642043295.post-47493558897678964632008-12-30T12:03:00.000-08:002008-12-30T12:37:44.417-08:00We had a great Christmas! My mom came down to visit for a week and a half. We were not able to spend this Christmas with my sister and brother, but maybe next year. The boys really got into the excitement of Christmas a lot more this year. Miles attended his first Christmas Eve service(in the past he's been in the nursery). He did great sitting there!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br />Gavin enjoyed all his gifts. He was excited about everything. It was so cute. Miles was excited, but did not react the way we anticipated. I guess you never know with kids. Gerald has this week off so we're enjoying having him at home. He injured his ankle playing basketball so he's having to take it easy.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJlG5EiFUxWEkeWLLPI0nn7qAs85V9tvEplgaFnK6WdfU5xdIkebqK53b2i73VxzkmG1e1fhZCSpOWtUhnHIPrH78uPLKt5VEEut4-OiUTMtSRHp1Jeu9NcdcdjrKkk0GccEa2YO1-VVBv/s1600-h/DSC06826.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

We've been busy with the holiday season! I'm planning to catch up this week. My mom's been in town and we've had numerous Christmas parties and events to attend. It's been lots of fun. Below is photos of our family night. We made a gingerbread house. We learned a lot about what we will do different with it next year, but for our first gingerbread house it wasn't too bad. Gerald did most of the work. I'm really not a crafty person! I left that part up to him, but Miles and I decorated with the candy. I will post photos of Christmas and other things this week. Maybe one of my new years resolutions should be to blog at least once a week.....what do you think??<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlzw76nUitciVByjBH70cCaS6SZaQ7IrdXuFi3FdW7ZajPNgm0WiIyvSVwASVHYyCe6_1iYWpMNtIFsFuVsVGafgD_97JwhZsFBcRSns2Jwo0X7RT2IObC_KppK7V-PL9bNqiX7kd_Jg_G/s1600-h/DSC06770.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlzw76nUitciVByjBH70cCaS6SZaQ7IrdXuFi3FdW7ZajPNgm0WiIyvSVwASVHYyCe6_1iYWpMNtIFsFuVsVGafgD_97JwhZsFBcRSns2Jwo0X7RT2IObC_KppK7V-PL9bNqiX7kd_Jg_G/s320/DSC06770.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284929162593557810" border="0" /></a>Miles is ready to go.<br /></div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBiVT1Pv54zEiCUx6Fc4IBeakzyw__C9Agdp07gcAdhnafNiehfEhPQp-FkYY2s7iQ0rpgcbgVMX6egWnpNApJs1P4dzcWw5oq5afXtKajUC48v45CNKmNQNaiBxFVMj2PFOAiVPoVM-nB/s1600-h/DSC06776.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBiVT1Pv54zEiCUx6Fc4IBeakzyw__C9Agdp07gcAdhnafNiehfEhPQp-FkYY2s7iQ0rpgcbgVMX6egWnpNApJs1P4dzcWw5oq5afXtKajUC48v45CNKmNQNaiBxFVMj2PFOAiVPoVM-nB/s320/DSC06776.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284926795501887538" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBPe9iDKxPBx83OllJ6F1wMiTcV0eMNQ00a646Gk8Sd0KjfKjfSfe56X55bDpOytbShTmWjMCkgZhQO3ZY-9NfU6OHy67Lj4-6BERXpOpZUWLe36UobkoTaScDtm41RBCQpxfRosKIaxZ4/s1600-h/DSC06780.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBPe9iDKxPBx83OllJ6F1wMiTcV0eMNQ00a646Gk8Sd0KjfKjfSfe56X55bDpOytbShTmWjMCkgZhQO3ZY-9NfU6OHy67Lj4-6BERXpOpZUWLe36UobkoTaScDtm41RBCQpxfRosKIaxZ4/s320/DSC06780.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284926629786438482" border="0" /></a>Miles looks intense in this photo.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNv6Jw-VMWwjb4mzqsQZ27r4JraDpMcnfLrpa9qkKwc0mgDbLgRqTwmSgabRlbubfzc8lCVbclZ294M2ycRyUtNZXTlITeu876oT6OZCJK7cFz6bTYUWAcxI0Du3IWrj0SLVQbipm8Erh5/s1600-h/DSC06782.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNv6Jw-VMWwjb4mzqsQZ27r4JraDpMcnfLrpa9qkKwc0mgDbLgRqTwmSgabRlbubfzc8lCVbclZ294M2ycRyUtNZXTlITeu876oT6OZCJK7cFz6bTYUWAcxI0Du3IWrj0SLVQbipm8Erh5/s320/DSC06782.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284926469940976914" border="0" /></a>Gavin just ate the candy.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRAYt__reIBanE6d4PnPU1uQp0KAUzYArIz_FoN-hDeEQC8wgW9-afvA26JihhptwQwuV2kIwh51H58LHb7_NdveNpEs8SeDkBQYmATcQVdnw3_S19IeycuK7EChISzXBJWNfadGuggQRr/s1600-h/DSC06786.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRAYt__reIBanE6d4PnPU1uQp0KAUzYArIz_FoN-hDeEQC8wgW9-afvA26JihhptwQwuV2kIwh51H58LHb7_NdveNpEs8SeDkBQYmATcQVdnw3_S19IeycuK7EChISzXBJWNfadGuggQRr/s320/DSC06786.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284926308450450594" border="0" /></a>The finished project.<br /></div>Malloyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00547500552851384588noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291265451642043295.post-77320750789694246152008-12-14T15:51:00.000-08:002008-12-15T06:01:43.531-08:00Miles turns 4!<div style="text-align: center;">Miles has been anticipating his birthday since January. We were in Publix last January and he saw a spiderman cake. He decided then he was having a spiderman party and has talked about it for a year. Needless to say, we had a spiderman party. We had his party at a park in town. Typically it is in the upper 70's maybe the low 80's this time of year. We woke up that day to the mid 40's. Figures, right? It turned out great. We wore long sleeves and coats and by lunch time we were able to shed the coats. Miles had a great time. I can't believe he's four.<br /><br />As always he is saying humorus things. Maggie was helping Miles into his carseat and was trying to figure out his seat belt. Not having kids herself, this can be a difficult thing. I ended up finishing the task and Miles said "Maggie maybe when you're smarter you can help me." Of course he got in trouble for saying that, but I must admit it gave us a big laugh. Saturday, the day of his party, was my birthday. I was opening my gift from my sister and she gave me new lounge clothes. I was excited and I said yay now I want have to look.....without finishing the sentence Miles said "so ratty". Really, my four year old thinks I look ratty. I think I'm in trouble!! Miles is a character!<br /><br />For my birthday I went to eat Mexican with two of my girlfriends with no kids. Thanks to my friend Becky's husband. He watched my two and her three that are under the age of four. All five of them are. Anyways, THANKS ROB!! This week we celebrate Gerald's birthday! It's a festive time for our family with three birthdays and Christmas!!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTl21GGoxsQD7YiWdHiZgFeaLt2noURHhQn5GKw2N82pwjNzMI1W_GKLL3Mo2pGMMtxS3u14EM3BjF5baQe2-T0HfsaRvFSr_VoTw-A4KhQIYduVT8uVI-y4YaJqlNgZQQsZWIYS8iSW1E/s1600-h/DSC06766.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTl21GGoxsQD7YiWdHiZgFeaLt2noURHhQn5GKw2N82pwjNzMI1W_GKLL3Mo2pGMMtxS3u14EM3BjF5baQe2-T0HfsaRvFSr_VoTw-A4KhQIYduVT8uVI-y4YaJqlNgZQQsZWIYS8iSW1E/s320/DSC06766.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279800252938240482" border="0" /></a>Miles is showing off his spiderman ring.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo1-11h2mL17wTwqFoKwUXO0xW8x82HjJFnfyZU1cAgr6KRFiozGFKovDx7-ZBO89QM0WiCDl48gScTgXLC3Q1EE3d_2D4v2V_ZYMhC4PV5BlQU6kAMqq7Rb1__xrodqAZ3HLj63JSu0ed/s1600-h/DSC06763.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo1-11h2mL17wTwqFoKwUXO0xW8x82HjJFnfyZU1cAgr6KRFiozGFKovDx7-ZBO89QM0WiCDl48gScTgXLC3Q1EE3d_2D4v2V_ZYMhC4PV5BlQU6kAMqq7Rb1__xrodqAZ3HLj63JSu0ed/s320/DSC06763.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279799814552943410" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAXK3UccAvYvDTpEMf8RePmB8ohWnRTm5FXwNJRG5j1XBrwbzcrMuablTRT9Pyv43TUQ_YeMT_RM_l13KNU63Bs2j3cga3LVBhLJTdfy6UKQqZVylMRogqwCVZVOwtV3c44r2dZ1i3pAO_/s1600-h/DSC06727.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAXK3UccAvYvDTpEMf8RePmB8ohWnRTm5FXwNJRG5j1XBrwbzcrMuablTRT9Pyv43TUQ_YeMT_RM_l13KNU63Bs2j3cga3LVBhLJTdfy6UKQqZVylMRogqwCVZVOwtV3c44r2dZ1i3pAO_/s320/DSC06727.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279799630183070226" border="0" /></a>Miles opening his gifts.

During his music time with her she asked the kids why God created us. Miles raised his hand and said to love Him. God created us to love Him. It really is that simple. Then she was talking to the class and she told them that she wished she could just stay and talk to them all day. Miles said you will one day. She asked him when and he said when we all get to heaven. How at four he understands and says some of the things he says is a mystery to me. Well, he will be four in less than a week. Miles is such a blessing to us! My hope and prayer for him is that the simple message of Jesus will stay in his heart. As adults things just seem to get more complicated. Complicated Jesus is not, but sometimes when life isn't going exactly how we planned or when we get thrown a curve ball we begin to think of Him in that way. What He wants from us in a simplistic four year olds mind is for us to love Him. That is not complicated! I'm realizing, as a parent, as I strive diligently to teach my kids that they are teaching me so much more. I'm learning how to love unselfishly, to listen, to treasure the moments, to focus more on today, that time goes by way to fast, patience.......I could go on and on. I say "I'm learning" because this is a life long process for sure! Below are a few photos of the Christmas decorating process. The kids get more into it each year and it is fun!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKS9mFZ-J9dzlOjk6B-EIbHCJhY3lSPlRikhX9-Vn32VYcx3N-avEdLENTyy9mHtoxMMfzAfy11rmqAfP4-AIY-3dUJiMsCrMe2UDOwKzYznHNMR7o87jaW48YMn6ot1dYR4CheEuAXQr1/s1600-h/DSC06626.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKS9mFZ-J9dzlOjk6B-EIbHCJhY3lSPlRikhX9-Vn32VYcx3N-avEdLENTyy9mHtoxMMfzAfy11rmqAfP4-AIY-3dUJiMsCrMe2UDOwKzYznHNMR7o87jaW48YMn6ot1dYR4CheEuAXQr1/s320/DSC06626.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276032814650357506" border="0" /></a>Gavin made a new friend.

It was a long drive, but worth it to have the opportunity to spend time with our family. My sister and her husband flew into Atlanta to stay at my moms as well. For some reason, I don't have any photos of them. While we were at moms we had a bonfire. Something you really can't do in FL. Well, you can, but it might be a little too toasty!! The kids enjoyed spending time running around my mom's land.

It always in season here, but for some reason the stores don't sell them.

Today he said "mom, I love you so much. I'm not going to ask God for a new mom." Well, that's good to know!<div><br /></div><div>The other day he asked me if it was going to snow in GA when we go there for Thanksgiving. I told him I didn't think so, but that he could pray about. He stopped what he was doing, closed his eyes, and bowed his head. He said "dear God can you make it snow at my Grammy's house. Thanks God." I said "what did God say?" Miles said "God said yes". I said "how do you know?" and he said "well you can't hear him because he's way up high." I said "how did you hear him and he said he speaks to me in my heart." I said what else did God say. Expecting something equally as profound and Miles said "God said oh man, now I have to go get the snow people." </div><div><br /></div><div>One last story. Miles and I went to a garage sale one day. Yesterday, out of the blue, Miles said mommy I don't want to have a garage sale. Then he said, well we can have one, but I only want to sell Gavin's things. Oh......the mind of a three year old. </div>Malloyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00547500552851384588noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291265451642043295.post-32555583661290481372008-11-04T11:40:00.000-08:002008-11-04T13:23:24.165-08:00Cupcake<div style="text-align: center;">Gavin learned to say the word cupcake. Below are pictures of him wearing his cupcake. Yesterday I threw the last two cupcakes away and I stepped outside to pay our lawn man and I came back in to find Gavin eating the cupcake out of the trashcan!! Now that is gross! These are not the pictures of him eating that cupcake b/c I obviously did not let him finish it!! Gavin is a bit mischievous.<br /><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br />I took Miles to his first dentist appointment today. Miles has always been a bit timid with new things, but he went into the event excited. All was well until she started polishing his teeth. He then proceeded with some crocodile tears. In the end the dentist said it was successful because he was able to look in his mouth and check things out, but we did not get a full cleaning and ex-rays. We will take this process in steps. I have to admit I remember as a kid hiding from my dentist. They had an upstairs play house with only a small ladder to get up there. Anyhow, I climbed up and refused to come down. Whose idea was it to put the play space up high anyhow? I eventually came down after a lot of coaxing and threats from my mom!! Overall, I think Miles did pretty good. He was excited to come home with an electric toothbrush. I was at Target today checking out the 75% off candy(love a sell!!) and Miles said he didn't need any more candy. Apparently, he doesn't want to face the dentist again any time soon.<br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK-yqL1dTYExoysXX6id19qUnWdebjjEO7REKE9OQVwfwVEOCvgyIeGHUgnKfKOCtb0NlbKUIiTLEWOQ5pEeCPlUg_TDHwitiV_JBmK8TOS84A0-aQ_RXZljlSrOMpXhoUKqkowPRHCB-r/s1600-h/IMG_0019.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Love digital cameras!! We went to a fall festival at our church, but we took a ton of photos before we left. I will post the family festival photos a little later. Miles was Batman and as you'll see from the photos he got into character. He had an awesome time. He's been excited about his costume for months. Gavin was a giraffe and he had fun, but I think he just was just tolerating his costume. I love dressing the kids up. They're only little once!!<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHT_lYq_8SYUDBspjSSC1OW2HAJSLjTuiOh-jq6Qr7xX80OnG4Hy2GFlpVZJffUxWNPIfXmO2ZVlS6fy3noBmbS8L1RviOJHFK85clQ1bkY36IduuEo6jJNEYQbsmtAubcBhJ1YbPCz4rl/s1600-h/DSC06262.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHT_lYq_8SYUDBspjSSC1OW2HAJSLjTuiOh-jq6Qr7xX80OnG4Hy2GFlpVZJffUxWNPIfXmO2ZVlS6fy3noBmbS8L1RviOJHFK85clQ1bkY36IduuEo6jJNEYQbsmtAubcBhJ1YbPCz4rl/s320/DSC06262.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263672562075118162" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpy-F2OkLMqbvoTrnXe7UKFjF8SFzsDJuLeOtD3tWSdl6-shIrVunXeDCAWOllsiKfDBVNiEaK9CRGyyXr_ypaMiUjg3ELHEF1_S9SN-aQnIxxlgRQgo5bgy-Y3a8DgY2YU9c1EQ-KjPA6/s1600-h/DSC06265.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 251px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpy-F2OkLMqbvoTrnXe7UKFjF8SFzsDJuLeOtD3tWSdl6-shIrVunXeDCAWOllsiKfDBVNiEaK9CRGyyXr_ypaMiUjg3ELHEF1_S9SN-aQnIxxlgRQgo5bgy-Y3a8DgY2YU9c1EQ-KjPA6/s320/DSC06265.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263672204994178514" border="0" /></a>This is the biggest smile he had in his costume.

I tend to wait until I have photos of the kids to blog. Anyhow, not much new in the Malloy household. We have, finally, experienced some cool weather. We actually were able to wear long sleeves today and pants. It was great!! The cool weather reminds me that it's not actually summer. Sometimes with the weather being mostly the same it easy to just think it is summer and not almost Christmas!<br /><br />Gavin's new accomplishments include peeing on the potty 2 times. I'm thinking of going down the potty training rode, but I'm not really looking forward to it. He's still a little scared of the potty so we'll see. He also picking up new words almost daily.

I have to admit no matter how long we stay in FL some things just don't mix with hot weather......like getting pumpkins. If you look closely in the photos you can see the boys have red checks and sweaty faces. Not quite the fall experience I'd hope for, but it is what it is. Anyhow, next year we will take a trip somewhere cool to experience some true fall weather. They boys had fun, but were ready to go because it was "too hot". We had planned on carving our pumpkins this weekend as well, but our plan did not go accordingly so we're going to try again tomorrow night. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrc_nFFVEza3ualUNoIFsx4pB2yK1JufZsdkaU6PC8_EGaSu9xwCXOlIQA3E0NAlrMo_LmP7m6nKPQJTww0-Tps5rN8vY_SzGXJc4-dptsxkT-vd90b6EiJp2dy5Wd7Zd5_OISBXGGH1xC/s1600-h/DSC06225.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrc_nFFVEza3ualUNoIFsx4pB2yK1JufZsdkaU6PC8_EGaSu9xwCXOlIQA3E0NAlrMo_LmP7m6nKPQJTww0-Tps5rN8vY_SzGXJc4-dptsxkT-vd90b6EiJp2dy5Wd7Zd5_OISBXGGH1xC/s320/DSC06225.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256373716801726898" border="0" /></a>Miles and Gavin's first pumpkin.<br /></div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiENL0H9Aurs1Lm7Ng4M8M71D05HE5K4xP-crfNWPf8BS5xjIz5CSmQRfmf3GfrTEZSAQVicrFMt_qD1EY5xUpF0q41EUqOQOse35I6Mehe2QBqK_4rLycBvYodc2TemD-aBP9a7yif_HQr/s1600-h/DSC06218.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiENL0H9Aurs1Lm7Ng4M8M71D05HE5K4xP-crfNWPf8BS5xjIz5CSmQRfmf3GfrTEZSAQVicrFMt_qD1EY5xUpF0q41EUqOQOse35I6Mehe2QBqK_4rLycBvYodc2TemD-aBP9a7yif_HQr/s320/DSC06218.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256373531548462658" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNIFbetMnRkWGMz70mm0ILTTJPH089ws0FwMpMJAGKE2XTacqZpj37lXDCwm7ujNs2k7baVsADK0HdwnRUkFUlwcTN2AdayYMuthY8ILig58f5F-eN3gpizwhJ4ayuuN_arosVQsHLoYpD/s1600-h/DSC06209.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNIFbetMnRkWGMz70mm0ILTTJPH089ws0FwMpMJAGKE2XTacqZpj37lXDCwm7ujNs2k7baVsADK0HdwnRUkFUlwcTN2AdayYMuthY8ILig58f5F-eN3gpizwhJ4ayuuN_arosVQsHLoYpD/s320/DSC06209.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256373165045625730" border="0" /></a>Miles is quite the ham these days.....wonder where he gets that from.

It was so great having food, entertainment, and our room right there. The kids were entertained which meant we could have some fun relaxing. We went with our friends Rob and Becky. They have 3 kids. We were able to hang out at night and play cards when the kids went to bed because we had adjoining rooms. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone with kids.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJxlNJQtSoRjMF982hG7dq6VhAQExAgxOIJTXAhmjXuJTYG7HdmpteDSY1sgJnK2D3VPSAAXOvb4zus25nezB1oaJia3zOUnhYmUyIvNKh5eWTsXw6LTUyzs8IlPvcGgi-DBQVdshZFCQI/s1600-h/DSCN0070.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJxlNJQtSoRjMF982hG7dq6VhAQExAgxOIJTXAhmjXuJTYG7HdmpteDSY1sgJnK2D3VPSAAXOvb4zus25nezB1oaJia3zOUnhYmUyIvNKh5eWTsXw6LTUyzs8IlPvcGgi-DBQVdshZFCQI/s320/DSCN0070.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250887755493750994" border="0" /></a>This was the view outside our room.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2FzDoYWocGArqDlKO1Oi1DcI_JxKQmwdEqxX_LZCWb47YobttX7QK9tGHBqtOSICeDBVTVRQ-xiuhJk5xSKkIUpub36yy1p5r1Owo2AfF_1WNxvStqf24ZMSKyw_noKQjwbyqG70uXHJE/s1600-h/IMG_0042.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2FzDoYWocGArqDlKO1Oi1DcI_JxKQmwdEqxX_LZCWb47YobttX7QK9tGHBqtOSICeDBVTVRQ-xiuhJk5xSKkIUpub36yy1p5r1Owo2AfF_1WNxvStqf24ZMSKyw_noKQjwbyqG70uXHJE/s320/IMG_0042.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250887543813929170" border="0" /></a>Can we go, please??<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYWN-Q3g5bPHsKHhzLc2GJ0P7Ob6htdgmJh9yfmZVYz2aKV2w0eTZZcI6I633dgPpUTgm1qe7YVmZHsNLPc-YVVQ-mlX70IPYUrxXGt3eFqco1mflg48l8_URv-JV4HyFSZBTzoP6x84hV/s1600-h/IMG_0091.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYWN-Q3g5bPHsKHhzLc2GJ0P7Ob6htdgmJh9yfmZVYz2aKV2w0eTZZcI6I633dgPpUTgm1qe7YVmZHsNLPc-YVVQ-mlX70IPYUrxXGt3eFqco1mflg48l8_URv-JV4HyFSZBTzoP6x84hV/s320/IMG_0091.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250886571782011154" border="0" /></a>I think she likes me.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAh7ikggBg7Q0keKIfUBacgBvAgsjgnr7_P_0nkWupTrw3Gzhj24_bqQuwsFhIbNtT9kuGzrzZkhl5s47YWNEmGNlclPpuVj4EaRdXtN-mTrqiRUsLTt0rMaQMRxLk3XRByxImCYkc07IZ/s1600-h/IMG_0092.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAh7ikggBg7Q0keKIfUBacgBvAgsjgnr7_P_0nkWupTrw3Gzhj24_bqQuwsFhIbNtT9kuGzrzZkhl5s47YWNEmGNlclPpuVj4EaRdXtN-mTrqiRUsLTt0rMaQMRxLk3XRByxImCYkc07IZ/s320/IMG_0092.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250886391315137218" border="0" /></a>Gavin's first kiss with another woman!!<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuBGFyZACvYH9vQjLc7ldZKBrZ_VHiTsTS-4Ns8Mv1F7P572jB-KUmuzb75cT3XDaPbJV5h15GC6D3SVdRHAr6sssPh1heMXPMULs4Y2row8CWGxGjIL3e2q6UD7eO5P7riK7fWr2DGd3w/s1600-h/DSCN0085.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuBGFyZACvYH9vQjLc7ldZKBrZ_VHiTsTS-4Ns8Mv1F7P572jB-KUmuzb75cT3XDaPbJV5h15GC6D3SVdRHAr6sssPh1heMXPMULs4Y2row8CWGxGjIL3e2q6UD7eO5P7riK7fWr2DGd3w/s320/DSCN0085.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250886197099101218" border="0" /></a>Gavin at the arcade.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHpcrBRQDDR4LA86xjW_r8ZcX1vbFCIFocMixUXGRUCVNZ1tOEZhJSfl_lEzrzJMD0Zu5OiBpMQBLIKgMT2GxFT4TLZ0hWVRK3gFvCsz7b_JfNqd9kb1c17TF6ckOXliOwWvSFLO6Ncay_/s1600-h/IMG_0071.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHpcrBRQDDR4LA86xjW_r8ZcX1vbFCIFocMixUXGRUCVNZ1tOEZhJSfl_lEzrzJMD0Zu5OiBpMQBLIKgMT2GxFT4TLZ0hWVRK3gFvCsz7b_JfNqd9kb1c17TF6ckOXliOwWvSFLO6Ncay_/s320/IMG_0071.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250885750116416178" border="0" /></a>Miles went down every slide at the hotel.....until he got caught.

So far we've been to the beach, the movies, and the pool. I'm posting a few photos, but for some reason I don't have any photos of my sister. I think it is because we've only had the camera out when we've been in our swimsuits. We're not to fond of photos of ourselves in swimsuits. I will post photos of our trip to the Nickelodeon Hotel soon.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcTTwBF0w5GynFuAI-GSx5b7zEQBD_Sldzbo9C1oHk-JIQXOggJANHKAUISvcKR_6YUlmeXYI80a3cgVe_iYvyPEEir3Inh9PzDels101ajM2bB1NNfkq6eJgniLMQNM6QhAJ83VQb9gW8/s1600-h/DSC06120.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcTTwBF0w5GynFuAI-GSx5b7zEQBD_Sldzbo9C1oHk-JIQXOggJANHKAUISvcKR_6YUlmeXYI80a3cgVe_iYvyPEEir3Inh9PzDels101ajM2bB1NNfkq6eJgniLMQNM6QhAJ83VQb9gW8/s320/DSC06120.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249316854182158274" border="0" /></a><br /></div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2xlJWH0K9N8PPZh6KRxFvjPub_k1XASGLx98ltM979xhBj1bfHjGV1-7w1dOhTQvhf8QW6l04RczOQ22gt8X7xYIGcVgddypOQ6MHxL9HCunfQO_5K04P7Q2kWxoeRYAf-a4xjm9neUTK/s1600-h/DSC06142.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2xlJWH0K9N8PPZh6KRxFvjPub_k1XASGLx98ltM979xhBj1bfHjGV1-7w1dOhTQvhf8QW6l04RczOQ22gt8X7xYIGcVgddypOQ6MHxL9HCunfQO_5K04P7Q2kWxoeRYAf-a4xjm9neUTK/s320/DSC06142.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249316559396240066" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijj3T5cxmyCkif5ZBAUpDzPZugt75kq2a3LxR6Ohq88CrKbNheZjx_q4I-xiu6KUwUzl54DU-k92QENkw0OYchvGkynS3_rfSqH_P4FWGtKFDLKYIgwfi4p82K1j4wb4yjl6DUjKZTfHoA/s1600-h/DSC06156.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijj3T5cxmyCkif5ZBAUpDzPZugt75kq2a3LxR6Ohq88CrKbNheZjx_q4I-xiu6KUwUzl54DU-k92QENkw0OYchvGkynS3_rfSqH_P4FWGtKFDLKYIgwfi4p82K1j4wb4yjl6DUjKZTfHoA/s320/DSC06156.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249316427478089602" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXDkl-Q72cl7N_IHyRbnIk58C3TkpGgEuUyLN7okWqTjC0Om2VoPQqTU-b_jXmre-MLqH8ymz9M1d7vP_lYwv1dsq4I1ng-xtZLCVAjWdYYwZgEe1vhMt2x04GsbsckslHzewSngwrU8ge/s1600-h/DSC06163.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXDkl-Q72cl7N_IHyRbnIk58C3TkpGgEuUyLN7okWqTjC0Om2VoPQqTU-b_jXmre-MLqH8ymz9M1d7vP_lYwv1dsq4I1ng-xtZLCVAjWdYYwZgEe1vhMt2x04GsbsckslHzewSngwrU8ge/s320/DSC06163.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249316332164274162" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaWOV4nbG8dzuXTW3nuCtfsPs_sHjcQToAxVYGTS9p0xs47I7rcqwkPMplrwjbnP_H_dPLH1lPGYvs6Iro5vF0gknJzyyXc3SKR2rQcHaC8xPMkG9m9HrPJY6HRTCSwHMiKRmGIhtcRQ4O/s1600-h/DSC06166.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaWOV4nbG8dzuXTW3nuCtfsPs_sHjcQToAxVYGTS9p0xs47I7rcqwkPMplrwjbnP_H_dPLH1lPGYvs6Iro5vF0gknJzyyXc3SKR2rQcHaC8xPMkG9m9HrPJY6HRTCSwHMiKRmGIhtcRQ4O/s320/DSC06166.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249316126806634002" border="0" /></a>Gavin is showing off his rock he found in the pool.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkYz5F5LtBF-7vG1XsE2psA7PqK3DHjwYWFJDwpfzhP2VR5A37h0Bly82AnzTTvICNac6mSB1RD3nH0GEA2ZNCe5S6eRRMBhL2HQgnUOF9PhtEDSt0PsLJ1v_nWO2yhsc0xSfomJ9Fv4Q9/s1600-h/DSC06171.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkYz5F5LtBF-7vG1XsE2psA7PqK3DHjwYWFJDwpfzhP2VR5A37h0Bly82AnzTTvICNac6mSB1RD3nH0GEA2ZNCe5S6eRRMBhL2HQgnUOF9PhtEDSt0PsLJ1v_nWO2yhsc0xSfomJ9Fv4Q9/s320/DSC06171.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249315875684350338" border="0" /></a><br />I'm not really sure what Miles is doing here, but it made me laugh.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Malloyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00547500552851384588noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291265451642043295.post-19036056634111139772008-09-13T09:12:00.001-07:002008-09-13T10:07:42.364-07:00<div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br />Miles teacher from mom's day out described Miles as a 30 year old man in 3 year old body. I thought that summed him up pretty well. Miles likes things to be a certain way and he likes following the rules. Most of the time, this makes him an easy child to parent. Miles is also beginning to show his heart more and more. The other day I was showing Miles a magazine from world vision. One of my convictions, as a parent, is teach Miles compassion for people that are less fortunate. In a world that is full of materialism, that is not an easy task. Anyhow, I was explaining to him that the girl in the magazine did not have a house, clothes, or toys. It had all been destroyed in the earthquake. When I finished he said mommy can we give her something. We have so many moments in a day with our children that are spent giving direction or discipling. I have been trying to stop and take note of the work God is beginning in Miles heart and praying for it continue. One more story to share........Miles gets tickets for a reward system at home. The other day I was giving him a ticket and he said mommy I already have so many. Why don't you save that one for yourself. You're a good mommy. My sweet boy. He talks non-stop so sometimes we tend to block out all the talking or we're just overwhelmed by the constant chatter. I have discovered that his constant talking is where we receive some of our sweetest moments with him as well.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhccssiF0t3Mewo7oSqnFPAVqpR_iQ2B5u9VX5NmcD6J0zWeYakVG9TysnE_oTEDq7WuG1ATD1TXABzIEUL0TvQ73piXZOhMkXv0wo987mTyoVAYwsrMJn6SnuPYLK6prH6-M1sBs_UvJzh/s1600-h/DSC05945.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhccssiF0t3Mewo7oSqnFPAVqpR_iQ2B5u9VX5NmcD6J0zWeYakVG9TysnE_oTEDq7WuG1ATD1TXABzIEUL0TvQ73piXZOhMkXv0wo987mTyoVAYwsrMJn6SnuPYLK6prH6-M1sBs_UvJzh/s320/DSC05945.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245543296966805458" border="0" /></a><br /></div></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHot91m7X8o9XzY2v5MFQOdTbJbAn5ziPqsmeTgoUJqE-1p2vmoFmkOa_NN6v7uM6z5ymMAjADMdvOzAjOeYYX-5hX7LTlAKUHvt6Znt8_JuMvaTdotUzEl4u77B4aTH1846SE2f1Fk-lo/s1600-h/DSC05964.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHot91m7X8o9XzY2v5MFQOdTbJbAn5ziPqsmeTgoUJqE-1p2vmoFmkOa_NN6v7uM6z5ymMAjADMdvOzAjOeYYX-5hX7LTlAKUHvt6Znt8_JuMvaTdotUzEl4u77B4aTH1846SE2f1Fk-lo/s320/DSC05964.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245543153570297618" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWyB6ia1-uMiht4AnFJAkbk7dpt63tjDEb8d4N3Auogm-Am3XUEoU2_JOLdWaxShlRqB13nvD3EdtDw2xMYjiYcdRCDPCgEE82tvw84c4acegPC9c61ecD7SO8KWQLAOimuax4ySlHplEB/s1600-h/DSC05965.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWyB6ia1-uMiht4AnFJAkbk7dpt63tjDEb8d4N3Auogm-Am3XUEoU2_JOLdWaxShlRqB13nvD3EdtDw2xMYjiYcdRCDPCgEE82tvw84c4acegPC9c61ecD7SO8KWQLAOimuax4ySlHplEB/s320/DSC05965.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245542352818107874" border="0" /></a>Although Gavin is smiling in this photo, do not be deceived.

Gavin's also learned two new words and he has graduated from using his pacifier all the time to only getting it in his crib. I thought it would be a really tough process, but it hasn't been bad at all. Gavin and Mile's both start mother's morning out next week. They will go once a week. I'm looking forward to having a little time to myself each week. I love my kids, but I also love a little down time!!<br /><br />One of my favorite past times is reading. I say past time because I hardly do it anymore. Last week I read the Shack though. It's a really good book. It kind of deep, but definitely worth the read. I would recommend it if you're looking for a good book. I also read Redeeming Love. It was great. Anyhow, that is the main reason I quit reading. I get so involved and engrossed in my books I don't get anything else done. I read two books in less than a week.<br /><br />As always I want to share a funny story from Miles. He continually asks for a sister. His friend Drew's family just had another baby so this just adds to his desire for us to "get a baby". Miles said mommy I want a sister. I always tell him to pray about it. He said, but if we get a sister I don't know if we'll like her. He said well if we don't like her we can just give her to someone else. Oh the mind of a three year old.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmzRdK29lxa1SWLxxG7wupNN6aMBIfRDhOXBtVVOJulVAtXjDhaMJfniCKFT3Uxq3SWDuSkzBI5WPDP9g4YquDhycP_caSKX3xBMl9fbnX1HDOqY0lSGOkfxnxM5e8r4xISYyNDkgsgrFU/s1600-h/DSC05676.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmzRdK29lxa1SWLxxG7wupNN6aMBIfRDhOXBtVVOJulVAtXjDhaMJfniCKFT3Uxq3SWDuSkzBI5WPDP9g4YquDhycP_caSKX3xBMl9fbnX1HDOqY0lSGOkfxnxM5e8r4xISYyNDkgsgrFU/s320/DSC05676.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234123879580013682" border="0" /></a>This is Gavin before his hair cut.
