(Not so) Simple Pleasures: New Family Members!

You can't tell in this picture, but these kittens are less than a pound and a half each.  The orange one is Georgia, and we are auditioning names for the black and white one.  So far we have come up with Shadow, Mischief, and (my personal favorite) Ender.  

Simple Pleasures: Kid Prayer

E has been a ball of tantrums lately.  Honestly, it can be discouraging, especially when it goes on for a while.  It makes me doubt myself and our choices in parenting.  I have to remind myself that he will grow out of his little child behavior at some point, and what will be left are the lessons he learned.

My simple pleasure?  Watching my child while he folds his arms and talks to God.  I'm not sure whether he understands that he is talking to God or if he is simply mimicking our family prayers, but he folds his arms, says a few words, and finishes with "Amen."

My kid is going to turn out okay.
