Sign of the times

This little car is called the 'Smart'. Until I saw this one at the store I had no idea such a car even existed. Kinda cute in a "looks like a toy" sort of way. I just had to take a picture because it was so little and I had my camera. A lady passed my car while I was snapping the photo and said, "I think it would fit in your car." I got to wondering so I looked up its specs. Sure enough, it could fit in my car.

Smart: 8.8 ft. long

5.1 ft. wide

5.1 ft. tall

45 mpg Hwy

40 mpg City

My car: 16.8 ft. long

6.5 ft. wide

6.4 ft. tall

14 mpg Hwy

19 mpg City

Even with the great gas mileage, I don't think the Smart car will work for us :)

Mothers Day

I love these little hands. I love the perfection of the dirt under the nails and the forgotten nail polish. The little scrapes and peeling skin. I love how these little hands fold together and pray. How they hug and help. How they create and learn. I pray for these little hands everyday to follow the ways of the Lord, always.

3 John 1:4

I have no greater joy than to hear my childern walk in the truth.

Natures perfume

They smell as beautiful as they look. I just love them.

News flash

Mia announced that she is going to be a vegetarian. I asked her if she still likes hamburgers and daddy's tri-tip and she said yes. Then I asked her why she wants to be a vegetarian if she likes meat. She said,"Because the animals are offensive!" She doesn't like any meat with any pasta, she doesn't care for chicken or milk. She said it makes her think of the animal and it is offensive to her. Mind you it is not because she feels sorry for the cute little animals that become dinner. It is because it grosses her out to think of the smelly animal that she is now eating. Funny thing is that she really enjoyed the roast beef dinner at School Cafe last Sunday night. I reminded her that roast beef is meat and if she is a vegetarian she might want to stick with the salad. She has decided that she is Half a vegetarian!

May flowers

Even with the lack of April showers, May flowers appear. Can't wait to see the Magnolia open. We planted it two years ago and this will be its first bloom. The roses are from our yard too. Enjoy this Lords day and praise Him for everything.
