MY BUDDING LITTLE PHOTOGRAPHER!

Teagan has taken up a love of photography!! I didn't have the heart to tell her that the camera was the wrong way around and upside down!! She LOVES to take photographs!! Last night I had a total blast from the past, my girlfriend Jackie (from South Africa) who I have known for almost 20 years now, posted some pics of me that I haven't seen in a LONG time!! So I thought I would share them with you!! I also tried to take some pics of the Lunar Eclipse last night - they didn't really turn out so well! The moon is more like a shiney blob!

SOME HOPE...

Having a bit of a rough day, needed a little hope.... So I thought "What the hell" and typed "I need some hope" into the Google search bar and here is what was gently placed into my lap.... Surely another mysterious way of working his light into my life...

God Is Always There
by Jennifer Campbell

If you ever feel alone,
and feel like no one cares.
Do not be discouraged,
because God is always there.

He leads you through the valley,
and out of your despair.
Every time you need Him,
God is always there.

No matter how hard things get,
you're always a millionaire.
'Cause with Jesus living in your heart,
He is always there.

So when this world gets rough,
and you think that life's not fair.
Just look into the Savior's eyes,
because He is always there.

TEAGAN'S 2ND BIRTHDAY PARTY!

Saturday was Teagan's 2nd Birthday Party!! We had so much fun! I decided, since my house is so small, to have Teagan's Birthday Party at the Wauconda Park District, which turned out to be a great idea!! Her Birthday party was 2 hours, which included, Pizza, cake & presents in one room and games and toys in another. All the kids seemed to have a blast. They got to run around and play with all the cool toys in the playroom and eat pizza & cake at a kiddie sized table in another. I am definately going to do the same thing again next year! No set up, No clean up!! YEAH!! Thanks Sophia, Luka, Austin, Jake, Peter, Parker, Savannah & Grace (and of course all the Mommy's and Daddy's) for sharing in the fun!! Here are some pics of Teagan's Day!
