Daddy Date
Tonight Dave took Elyana on a "date". She was SOO excited. They went to Sonic for a banana split. Supposedly the topic of conversation was why Jesus never has a crown on in any pictures and where poop comes from! Hey, these are important issues to a 4 year old! Meanwhile Gavin and I put together puzzles at home.

How?!?
How do moms work and maintain a house at the same time? I came home from work totally exhausted tonight. There was enough time to heat up leftovers, give the kids a bath, read Bible Story, and go to bed. How do people do this 365??

Here we go a tax season again!
Whew! Where did last year go? Very odd how time goes faster when you are older. I remember my Mom telling me that, and I thought she was lying. A year back then was soooo longgggg.
The hardest part of this time of the year is Gavin. He is old enough to know that Daddy isn't home as much as he used to be, but not old enough to understand. Right now he is very clingy (which is NOT his personality), and cries a lot.
It's exciting for me though. The couple months where I get to talk "adult", dress up, carry my red briefcase, and get paid for my "job". Every year my $$$ go towards something special and this year we are saving to buy a used mini van. It may take a couple of years, but here we go...
I also like tax season because it is very good for me to be reminded how the world needs God so badly. Some of my clients are so bewildered with life. They live day to day, paycheck to paycheck without any real goals. I get this rare glimpse into people's souls as they review the past year and how it affected their bank account. Money is NOT evil, however it brings out who you are like nothing else. It is so good for me to be reminded that I really do want to go back into missions, and anything I can do today to show someone a speck of what God is like is really all life is about.
Another friend of mine had a baby girl this weekend. So many friends with brand new baby girls. It kind of hurts. I'm so excited for her yet my heart is so devastated at the same time.
