I hope she's feeling all better now. <BR/><BR/>Mine is going through teething with a vengance. He's getting his back molars (I think). I thought it was kinda weird since he hasn't got all his front teeth yet. Who knows?<BR/><BR/>I always love to see your smiles!

You don't ever have to explain the reasons for so much happiness in your life. We should rejoice in the blessings that God bestows upon us and anytime there are struggles in life, hard days to deal with, trying times with our children, always feel free to share as well because at least you will know that we are always here to give you prayer, support, comfort and encouragement. No one's life is perfect, I definitely struggle every day especially with my husband gone four days of the week...I find myself crying a lot more than usual becaue these are the days when I know he is going to miss the most from our boys.<BR/>I love you friend and it has been SUCH a true blessing getting to know you and reading about your sweet family and your sweet life even if there are a few flaws in it, that is what makes it so special and real and worthy.<BR/>Know that you are an important person to all of us and look forward to sharing many more good and bad times with you ;D<BR/>love you<BR/><BR/>PS: I read where Rhonda used Calmoseptine...thats the ONLY thing we use when a rash occurs...it works wonders :DJacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439391373390883239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378762323287601705.post-16405135905659383242008-09-17T07:07:00.000-04:002008-09-17T07:07:00.000-04:00Oh girl, it can be so hard just to be a wife and m...Oh girl, it can be so hard just to be a wife and mother, much less the perfect one. Surely, she does not exist, because, of course God made us imperfect. But isn't that just perfect? :)<BR/><BR/>Hopefully that butt rash has subsided. I totally understand as Lilla has had one since like day one. We just can't shake it. I thought with her basic nudity lately, trying to potty train, it would go away. Not so much. Poor thing...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your smiles! I particularly love the applesauce one. Mmmm...nothing like fresh applesauce. I need to head over to the orchard!!Amy's Blah, Blah, Blogginghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14957095369122295010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378762323287601705.post-4521375119373912522008-09-17T06:39:00.000-04:002008-09-17T06:39:00.000-04:00Lovely post Amanda.

I myself am often selfish, not very good with patience and feel insecure and not conifident in myself many times - Thank goodness for our lord who believes we are worthy and who can continue changing and shaping us to be more like him. So I wanted to say that you are beautiful and so is your family and your writing and i love your little spot. <BR/><BR/>And thank you for coming around and leaving kind words on my blog. :) you are so kind.<BR/><BR/>enjoy your day! <BR/><BR/>Hope Kate is getting better so many dirty nappies can't be much fun.kthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03054306110200368700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378762323287601705.post-16444451679753722292008-09-17T01:16:00.000-04:002008-09-17T01:16:00.000-04:00Oh Amanda.

It reminds me to take time to reflect one the good in everyday that God gives us. It is more like reminder for me then..... well, anything.<BR/>Tuesdays are a favorite for me around her.<BR/>Tonight I painted 3/4 of the guestroom. I guess turning thirty yesterday gave me a new lease on life! LOL<BR/>Anyways, if the rash keeps up, try egg white, let them dry on there? I guess it is supposed to sooth and protect.<BR/>Loves and I hope you have the BEST week, and NO MORE overtime!!!<BR/>AmintaAmintahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042137215109612995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378762323287601705.post-42336031790733589572008-09-16T19:26:00.000-04:002008-09-16T19:26:00.000-04:00enjoyed your smiles and pictures. we are blessed,...enjoyed your smiles and pictures. we are blessed, indeed! i have to tell you that libbs loves to look at the pictures of elizabeth and kate! how fun to be doing a bible study with the ted tripp book. i started reading that book a while back, but then lost it and recently found it again. <BR/>you're definitely not the only wife & mama & woman out there struggling with all the day-to-day things of life! isn't it great to know we're not alone...that we not only have the Lord on our side, but other wonderful women as well?! <BR/>i hope kate is feeling better with her diaper rash. a couple of things i use are cornstarch and black tea bags (separately). there's something in black tea that releases when kids pee that helps heal the rash.<BR/>i guess that's all for now. praying for you this week. <BR/>oh yes...i love that fabric you made an apron with...so so fun!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08006891827003604395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378762323287601705.post-32875012658447298422008-09-16T15:47:00.000-04:002008-09-16T15:47:00.000-04:00Sorry Kate has been feeling yucky. If her rash is ...Sorry Kate has been feeling yucky. If her rash is still flared up, you should pick up some Calmoseptine. It is an awesome ointment. I don't know what I would have done without it when my boys were in diapers because they got rashes all the time. It doesn't require a prescription, but I always have to ask the Pharmacist for it. You can order it online as well. We first got it by recommendation from my oldest son's pediatrician. He said he didn't even waste his money on any of the other over the counter diaper rash ointments. It really is miraculous how quickly it cures a hurting bottom. <BR/>I will pray you have a better week this week.Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02782053826301207826noreply@blogger.com
